Port Vale v Bradford City - Match Thread

Featured Replies

Even worse knowing it’s one of our promotion rivals from last season showing us how it’s done.

Don’t think we’ve won more than a couple of second balls all night. May as well give Onel a few minutes now with the game lost.

We could and probably should be 5 or 6 down here.

If they can’t be arsed why should we. Bunch of <ovf censored> bottlers.

I’m off home. First time left early in over 10 years. <ovf censored> disgrace of a performance.

Yes, indeed.

And the team haven’t played well either … 😉

For as much as there was a game plan on Satdee, there's nowt here tonite unless the instruction is to lump it forward aimlessly at every opportunity. And player for player Bradford have made us look like a dog’s breakfast.

If we didn’t think it was over before tonight, now we know 🙁

Get Croasdale back off holiday. Was Heneghan ruled out because of concussion rules. Where is Jack Shorrock?

Few decent performances tonight but far too many players are just not good enough.

Agreed. Can’t remember a game where we’ve been so slow to get to the ball and reactive, rather than forcing the play and being proactive. They always seem to have a man free when it breaks loose. We just haven’t been at it tonight, and Bradford have been strong.

Touray throws himself to the ground and is given a foul

Stop blaming the ref mate he’s been decent

Playing like they’ve all got concussion 

The excitement of the cup run has soon fizzled out. 5 more depressing league games to go before the Chelsea game. 

Two cup wins attempted to paper over a hell of a lot of cracks. 

It’s going to frustrate the hell out of me if we keep going on about the Chelsea game on social media, whilst we’re cut adrift in the league and putting these performances in. 

5 shots to their 29.

As bad as anything else this season, even under Moore. This has been terrible.

Only positive I take from this is, I'm a season ticket holder and opted to watch it in the comfort of my arm chair.

What exactly do you expect? 
so much negativity from everyone - we have a few key players out injured and we have been incredibly lucky in getting the best performances in the cup. 
it’s a bad day at the office is all 

Bradford have been good. We have been bad. It's sad to watch when you consider we were both in the league below last year. Tonight has shown that effort can only get you so far, but there is a genuine lack of quality.

All night (especially first half) they've worked hard to pressure Bradford and win the ball back, only to be immediately followed by a misplaced pass or a hoof out of play.

That being said, when I looked at our next 6 fixtures (including this one) today, we have 3 teams in the playoffs fighting for promotion (Bradford, Bolton, Huddersfield) and 3 teams down fighting relegation like us (Doncaster, Wigan, Blackpool). Losing to a good Bradford side won't be the reason we get relegated, not winning against the teams just above us in the table could be.
