I agree with most of the comments from Smudgie, Football19 and Whalley Red in summing up the game. For me too it was the midfield where we were not combative enough in spite of playing five across the pitch. We don't have the physical presence that Procter and Ryan used to give us. Too often the Bradford midfielders were allowed to be first onto goal kicks and clearances, from both defences, then have time to chest the ball down, turn and attack our defence or lay the ball off to their pacey wingers. I was calling for our lads to get the ball down, play to the wings and to try and get to the goal line in order to pull the ball back across the keeper on the ground. The first time we did this effectively we scored..."Simples.com!" This tactic also by passes the big advantage of the height that Oliver and his mate had at the back. Oliver must have thought it was Christmas!! In the end though a point for us was a good outcome against a strong and well organised team.
