Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th January

Keeper had a decent game for a change and kept us in it, but where was Warren for their goal? criminal that's why Cass is better.

Dan was right… not ideal, the bench looks very strong and have the attacking options to try and go for it late on… if we stay in it initially.

Garrity being back is obviously huge plus.

So long as it’s 3-5-2 as I say I have no issue with it. Doesn’t speak to it being an instant classic of a game but how many Dazball games are?

As always. ;-)

Let's be honest. If Byers or Harper weren't injured, and Sang wasn't banned, Jason Lowe wouldn't even be on the bench. So no idea why everyone's crying about his inclusion like we've got any other option. Can probably protect him a bit more with 2 near him as opposed to him getting displayed with a 2 man midfield when the other commits further forward.

OVF and Wonder of Vale are going to do what they do. It’s a tradition as much as any at 2pm on a Saturday now. Lineup is fine for what’s available, just all need to do their job properly.

Potential pushes Garrity further forward which is where he got double figures in league one i guess.

See how it pans out. As Dan said in a week or so it shouldn’t be a problem with Byers and Harper available and our midfield then gets back to full strength which should be one of the best the league. No one else would have coped with 3 first choice central midfielders out for months.

 

[JJ1990]

Hope Swindon feel like rolling over and having their bellies tickled in the same way they did today. Notts County won't have an easier win all season.

 

[FiRTHYY]

Head and shoulders (and the rest) above Grimsby today.

 

[GTFCfish]

Every fucking year away at Bradford we do this shit.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Much needed 3 points and that makes it's 12 from last 15.

Completely different sort of game to the reverse fixture earlier this season but in both games McGoldrick shows his utter class at this level and scores a brace in both. Also hit the bar, spooned one over bar from 4 yards out (bobble), had a good one saved and tried the spectacular acrobatics with his last touch.

Very comfortable second half, Platt was imperious was the pick of a solid back 3 that didn't feature Ness or Macari.

Despite lots of effort nothing came off for Crowley until he was subbed despite having tonnes of space. Not sure how we only scored two today but 3 points essential.

9th clean sheet of the season for the revamped defence and keeper who tbf had next to nothing to do between the sticks.

Need some more.bodies back as been unable to rotate much during this busy schedule.

Don't speak to soon hoping for a couple more very comfortable afternoons at the Lane.

 

[RavenBish]

Pretty comfortable win, Didzy outstanding, probably should have won by more but also helpful Swindon’s attack was so blunt, they got in behind us a few times but had no killer instinct - Tshimanga and Glatzel were surprisingly hopeless.

 

[OneDecentLester]

Pitch inspection due at 7:45am tomorrow morning ahead of our game with Gillingham. Snow due pretty much all night here.

I have a sneaky feeling that it’ll be off, and that our management team won’t be too sad about it either. Would give us a fortnight before our next league game, plenty of time to get bodies back fit & incomings signed without their being a need to rush it.

 

[1862]

Fingers crossed Jatta is ok, but otherwise everything else you'd want out of a 5th game in 2 weeks. 12 points from those 5 too is a massive return given where we were before that. McGoldrick got man of the match and it's hard to argue when he got both goals, but I thought Platt was excellent today.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Fully deserved 3 points and 3-1 was a bit flattering to Grimsby, who like us in the reverse fixture never showed up. 10 points from 12 since the shitshow at Notts County, hopefully we can maintain this for a period.

 

[jacobncfc]

Job done, very comfortable second half. What we needed really after five games so quickly, and got to be happy with winning five of them.

We were good today and should have won by more. Good to see Sarcevic playing like he has been doing for years but wonder how many more points we would have had if we had been able to keep Pattison fit. Grimsby certainly couldn't hold him in check.

 

[Grimsby Road]

You played well tbf stopped us well and played some good stuff . We were bad I thought but think you made us look worse than we were as you got tactics spot on when we did the rolling it around at the back stuff we seem to love . Thought that Richards had a good game for you

 

[pontoonlew]

We were worse than bad today, absolutely Fucking pathetic from minute one

 

[hellogregory]

Absolutely awful


Another glaring example of why we’re the worst team in this league. The worst team I’ve ever seen

True, I don’t think many teams would’ve taken anything from Valley Parade this afternoon.

When you scored, I just thought “here we go again”. But credit to the lads, they continued with the same intensity and got a deserved third.

If that’s the type of football we can expect without Andy Cook, I’ll take it.

We certainly created more chances than normal.

 

[クレイグ]

As the other City fans have said we deserved the three points. I'm disappointed we didn't score another or two. Deserved a clean sheet too.

 

[クレイグ]

What a player that Sarcevic is btw. Sorry Stocky mate.

 

[Scum.]

Losing 0-1 to Salford (again). Fuckers.

 

[Son of Cod]

Yeah no complaints here. We were pish again today. I only really had one eye on it as I'm at work but we seemed to be lumping a lot of balls into your box that your CBs were just cleaning up. Bradford too snappy in the middle stopping us playing through them which is when we've been at our best of late. I won't be losing too much sleep over that, or the nature of any of our recent defeats, we're just lacking consistency really.

The first 10 mins were ok...

I think it's time to say what is the point of Jordan Davies? Our supposed main attacking midfielder signing yet it needs youth Luker to come on and provide the energy, wanting the ball and trying to make things happen.

Was always a tough game for the last of 4 in 12 days and I think Bradford could benefit from kicking their Cook addiction from here on.
If we'd not blown chances and defensively blundered at Accy 9 from 12 would have been a good outcome. Now DA needs to earn his corn working out how to deal with Notts next week.

 

[kieran_vale]

Close game. We scored from really the only major opening we had but a nicely worked goal. Doncaster threatened occasionally not least a good save by Amos but you can definitely tell their fans are getting a bit frustrated with passing along the back line. Can definitely relate to that.

 

[Ainsty]

Two horrible teams slogging it out. Both as bad as the other.

You shouldn't apologise. We all know his pedigree and until today we had had only 40 mins of performance. What we got today is what we have been expecting. Him and Bobby supported Kav magnificently. We just want this in the remaining games and of course Patto to stay fit. Our Skipper and Richards also did so much today.
