Match Thread: Bradford City v Port Vale

[Rocky]

Also let breadwinner pick Tuesday’s XI. Whatever mad formation he goes for and whichever players he puts out of position I think we will still win.

That would take us to 79 and will possibly (depending on other results) give us a play off spot. However, I still predict that we shall require Lady luck to ride with us if we're to get into the top 3.

79 has been enough for the automatic slot in a couple of recent seasons, and 80 in another. Then it seems to have been around 84/85.

Another great win and a brilliant week. Not many of us expected 9 points. 

I was massively frustrated after the Rochdale, Harrogate and Colchester games. Admittedly I thought we’d blown it and couldn’t see this turn around. So fair play lads.

Let’s keep the momentum going.

Massive game on Tuesday. Deserves a big crowd.

Too much to do - 2 points off the play offs with 2 games in hand. The bloke must be on the wind up. 

Carl is actually Jimmy the Sjoke fan off Radio Sjoke. Both hate their clubs yet claim to be fans. 

I'm sure if we get promoted Carl will say we don't deserve it

Big win and was worried that we’d see this as the easy of the four games and slip up on the banana skin.

Four points off the autos… win on Tuesday and it would be absolutely massive!

[valefan16]

Don’t complain until you’ve got 6+ out for half the season, is my reaction to that.

Obviously Atangana will be banned as well.

Noumbe is their real danger man and he didn’t play today.

That 25 minute spell after half time was as good as we’ve seen from Wilson all season. He was almost unplayable at times.

Listening to Jimmy is a joy.  One, possibly the only, reason I listen to P&G

And they had a player sent off today. 

And Sam Nombe injured again

Just seen the goals back. I disagree with their fans that their was a foul in the lead up to our second. Yes Proctor does pull him down, but literally right before their player was grabbing Proctor. So for me it’s either our advantage or the ref let’s it go because both were at it.

I would say it was 100% a foul, however there were numerous occasions before that where Proctor had been fouled in a similar manner by the same player and nothing was given. And at least occasion where a free kick was given against Proctor when he had been fouled.

Vale all over. Complete cruise control to fingernails job.

Well done lads . Excellent. 

Ps we need a Crosby song. He's doing wonders under terrible circumstances.  

Darren, hope you’ve enjoyed yourself today, we used to sing white Christmas, wasn’t that a Crosby song.?

Very enjoyable mate. Nervy last few minutes but good performance. 

He deserves a lot of credit after the safe predictable stuff we were playing,  Crosby has taken the shackles off and we look a side once again.
