That's a little OOT, the guy was busting a gut to make up for the original mistake when he should have just let it run out of play. It wasn't a great tackle & no complaints about it but saying a player in his first league game for us is only here for the money is ridiculous.

A stupid comment from ‘Tailgunner’ to be honest! :oops:

Osho did okay otherwise, but he should never have been in that position, had the officials done their jobs moments before! :banghead:

I don't think injuries had anything to do with it today.

We were just below par.

We weren't at it today but still had enough chances to get something from the game, they took there chances we didn't, it is what it is we will lose games this season but I'm still convinced we will be there or there abouts come may

I said in the game that it’s how we react, remember it’s the first time we have lost, it’s how we react and bounce back, the next game will show us what the team are made of. I’m sure they will reset look back and what we did wrong, and rectify the problems we had.

He does not get the service he deserves! Most time he's battling to get to a ball outside area he's a centre forward and should be getting the ball in area not outside it? But its a theme of how we play in and around area but never cross into it unless have to... he doesn't go down easily he's just fighting a lone battle without help .

Ye I’m not saying that we deserved to lose today,but I just feel like we 1,2 or players short in the squad and maybe some experience I looked at that Bradford team today a lot of like league 1 streetwise players,and we don’t have much variety to change it up and games piling up

Just seen the goals again. I was disappointed with the first goal, a corner and we left their man unmarked on the edge of the box.

Their second goal was all Osho's fault. He rashly stepped out trying to play offside, then sprinted back and rashly dived in. They cut through us way too easy for their third goal too.

All their goals could have been easily stopped, but most of our players struggled. I thought Wintle and Turnbull struggled today because Bradford were so energetic and pressed so well to stop our passing game. Perhaps Chambers could have come on into midfield to add some grit, as I felt we were too soft today.

Bradford were more organised, more streetwise and they were very well drilled, knowing exactly what they were doing. When we had a break in play second half, you could see how together Bradford are - their number 10 was walking around talking to his team mates, while some of our players were stood alone with their hands on their hips.

Full credit to Bradford, it was a perfect away performance from them. They nullified us, then showed their quality to ruthlessly put us away. It was a well deserved win for them and I will be very surprised if they're not challenging for promotion.

Not seen the goals back yet because just on my way home.

But I wrote off Bradford's top six chances earlier in the week and accept I was probably wrong about that because I was very impressed by them today.

From their point of view, they played the game perfectly.

Ashford was shocking along with several other players, didn’t turn up. They were better in every position… a hard watch today.

Anyone think why there were boos at the end? Didn’t think the team deserved that, so thought it must’ve been directed at the dreadful referee.

Re: " That's a serious reality check "

Sun Sep 21, 2025 8:36 am

We will learn from this 100%. They pressed aggressively and I think that’s why wintle had a particularly poor game with loads of miss placed passes. When we are pressed like that we need to be more direct, I think it finally clicked the last 20 mins and then we looked dangerous
