2020/21 General Match Thread

What has gone wrong with Bradford? I thought they were well and truly back on track when they got promoted in 2013 and reached the League Cup final, and have mostly been solid during their time back in League 1, finishing not far from automatic promotion in a couple of seasons. Realistically they're probably never going to return to those Premiership glories but I thought establishing themselves in the Championship a la Barnsley (although they've become something of a yo yo club in recent years) was feasible. They looked good for another promotion push in the first half of last season but I've rarely seen such a collapse.

Our narcissist egotistical megalomaniac chairman who has systematically stripped our club of its identity is what happened,beware foreign investors.

Give us a little google search, we've been in the nationals enough recently to give people an idea. But I don't have the energy anymore tbh, losing is one thing, but the way we get so easily beat and to crap teams most of the time is just soul destroying. All's well though, I'm probably just making a mountain out of a molehill.

Fucking hell. You know the world has turned on it's head when a Watford fan tells one of the dozens of lower league clubs that are way the fuck bigger than them, that they're never gonna be an established Premier League Team again.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Off to my 'local' game tomorrow, be very surprised if it isn't a BTTS banker

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Bradford will beat us tomorrow.

 

[LS Bantam]

Bradford will beat us tomorrow.

Lol.

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Lol.

Coventry in good form and Bradford in poor form. It's happened before and will happen again.

They’re still looking around antiques fairs looking for empty trophy cabinets.

 

[BelizeHatter]

Be fair. They won League 1 once.

 

[Super_horns]

Be fair. They won League 1 once.

We didn't even get to have that presented at a game as we won it away from home on the final day...typical!

Earned a couple of play-off trophies..

We did get something for coming 2nd to Bournemouth the other year too,



There are some clubs who'd just cry out for that as it would mean they have been promoted!

With new owners you have to hope they are actually interested in the football/helping the club to develop and not just the money side of things - we got lucky with the Pozzos.

 

[finley]

Bradford will beat us tomorrow.

It will be the 3 easiest points you’ll pick up all season.We are awful.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Mad bastard, best joke I've seen on this forum in a while.

You mean develop for Udinese?

 

[Jamo]

Shrewsbury away tonight, we really need to be winning this to make up for the weekends disappointing result and to keep pace with the top 2. They seem to have had a bit of a naff start after last season's heroics so I'll be disappointed if we don't at least get a point.

 

[Bobbin']

Absolutely garbage from us today. No-one can come away with much credit.

Well done to Charlton, defended really well and took their chances. I really am the opposition's charm this season, we've been gash 3 out the 4 games I've attended.

Typical, I criticise the defending and then we go and get a clean sheet. It’s no surprise though, that we defend better when Naby Saar is nowhere near the starting line-up. Hopefully no more injuries and that will continue. Very pleasing win that one.

Should be looking at another win tonight at home to Oxford but just know it’s got a Robinson shithouse turnout with a Ricky Holmes 98th minute worldy to win the game written all over it.

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Fantastic report by David Conn as always this morning.

[Super_horns]

I think it was the other way round!

We took some of their better players much to the annoyance of their fans.

Shudder. Could have been us, had our former owner's plans to build a new, overly large stadium with council money come to fruition. Fuck off Wasps.

 

[Pugwash]

From listening to the commentery, the Cods provided a pretty inept performance against Portsmouth, offered little got nothing, would have been a disservice to Pompey had it gone any other way.

Cods need to pull their collective fingers out tonight, we are quite capable of beating Peterborough, so go out and prove it.

 

[mowgli]

Good news for us - Keeper Ryan Allsop has had his red card from Saturday rescinded so can play against Rochdale at Adams Park tonight.

 

[finley]

This has got to be the lowest crowd at VP for a very very long time

 

[Cas]

1-0 down after 90 seconds. Heh.

 

[Judge Dredd]

1-0 up vs Accy. Beautiful counter attacking goal, absolutely adore football like that.

 

[Cas]

10 mins and 2-0 down. Oh no.

 

[Robert Molenaar]

Currently bottom, get in!!!

 

[joethegill]

1 down at Plymouth. Decent strike from Ladapo to be fair, but he was given way too much room.

We're not great.

 

[Craig]

The wheels have fallen off.

 

[joethegill]

2-0 down now.

Appallingly bad.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Even game here, absolutely lovely counter attack by us to score the opener, really looking forward to seeing it again. Accrington worthy of the equaliser I think though, had a basic carbon copy of the goal 10 mins earlier so disappointing to concede from the same move basically, looked like Shea could have done better.

Collins had a great chance right at the end of the half he should have buried. Very evenly poised, sort of feels like next goal wins to me.

Bit of a ruckus amongst the coaches and players at the end of the half, not sure what started it, been a few elbows and legs left in by both sides I think, but nothing above standard lower league needle so don’t know what it was about.
