Re: vs Bradford City
Yonmon , I agree that the team played much better than against Rochdale and for 80 mins it looked pretty impressive. BUT ... to start blaming refs is clutching at straws. Let's face it we were tactically inept. JC's creed is that attack is the best form of defence but he was outwitted by McCall yesterday. Bradford threw everything into attack and we wilted. When Conlon came on we were faced with three quality attackers (Thorne and Boulding being the others) and we didn't (or couldn't) change our tactics to cope. Yes attack had given us a 2-0 lead but with 10 mins to go we don't need to score again, we just need to keep the ball and wind the clock down. Switch PMullin to defensive duties (1.e. Conlon probably would not have won all three headers that lead to goals if Mullin had been marking him) and we may have got at least a point from a game which we really looked like winning for 75 mins
