Good point today

[Rodley]

Very difficult place to go as its a good atmosphere at Valley Parade, I'll take a point and a decent comeback. Sharp is up to 5 goals (?) already; he looks like he's on for 20.

We need to start better, defend better and play more positively from the get-go. Lots of work to do.

Onwards Blades!

[Hartley Hare]

Agreed Rodders.

Hesitation in defence has cost us twice.

[United Aren't Back.]

Season saved due to a point at Bradford, partly courtesy of an own goal. Ecstatic.

Could be 25 but he'll keep taking the penalties

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Dire 1st half; very good 2nd and deserved the point. Clearly need strengthening though.

 

[robbiez666]

I thought Bradford completely lost it second half. They seemed to stop what they were doing well, and I have no idea why he took Cole off. Played into our hands completely.

Odd, but a point against an equally uninspiring team.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Coming back from 2-nowt down, away from home - got to be a good point in the end. But, my, were we woeful or were we woeful in that first half? And we've gone from Calamity McEveley to Calamity Edgar now. Still got significant problems.

Good positive substitutions though, made a really big difference.

 

[metalblade]

Not so sure it was a good point more like 2 points dropped, when we actually started to play Bradford were shown up for what they are .......... a poor team who lump it up to a big man and hope to pick up scraps

 

[Martin]

Another poor performance against average a long ball team

 

[Barney]

Wasn't that Clough's tag line last season?

A good comeback but 2 points dropped and still 4 points from top 2, as we were before Saturdays games. Playing catch up already, desperately need a few wins.

 

[Bladesman]

Totally crap performance overall.

Good fightback but it does not mask the crap.

 

[Rodley]

I'm looking forward to seeing Done partner Sharp up front. I think that would be very, very good at this level.

Brayford back at RB will be a bit boost and Harris / Freeman in at left-back.

We still need that CB and CM though.

 

[breeny]

First half was dreadful - no support in midfield and the defence looked calamitous.

Edgar!??!?

Baxter saved the game, good lad.

 

[PeteBlade]

It was a good point in the context of the game. Going 2-0, that woeful first half.
But Bradford are 17th in the league. They've had their worst start in the league for how many years and are very average.

Teams with realistic hopes for top 2 class these sorts of games as bread and butter.


More points dropped.

 

[Mendi]

Sheff United making things harder, for them self. Good point in the end.

they burned themselves out with the fast start, been doing it all season apparently.

Looking forward to saturday again now, and hopefully back to winning ways

I disagree. I think Bradford will make the top half and push for the top 10, there's plenty of fire power in that side. Certainly that's the expectation up here from their fans, despite the sticky start. I wouldn't necessarily say it was a bread and butter easy three points.

It's a tough place to go, hostile atmosphere and generally a crap pitch. I'd take a point there every day of the week.

That could be the partnership we need plenty of movement
Big front men don't seam to be working in this division but there seams a lot of poor defenders slow and cumbersome and not just ours

I think Sharp can hold the ball up as well as any big man in the division. The risk is that it limits our ability to hit long balls. Might well see Done out on the left in the old inside left position with Sammon and Sharp up top. Adams then functions as an impact player.

Either way with Done back in the side we'll put a LOT more pressure on opposing defences given his work-rate when closing down.

Didn't hear much of an atmosphere at all.
I think that a team with realistic ambitions of automatic promotion should class a side who may or may not challenge for the top ten as a very winnable game.

I think they did but we managed to nick a point of em so maybe we will make the top ten yet!

 

[BushBlade]

After the omnishambles of the last two games I'd have taken a point today and a fightback from 2-0 down will do a lot more for our confidence than a dull 0-0.

They're the only positives I can find.
