Saturday 9th September

[BarraMatt]

Does the commentator think Holohan is the same player as Wes Hoolohan?

 

[LS Bantam]

Just exactly how we’ve been in every game, this formation is awful absolutely kills an already very average team.

 

[SF_]

Yeah, I can't watch the second half of this. Soul sapping.

 

[chrisblor]

Hope the international viewing public isn't getting bored of us having loads of possession and doing very little with it beyond passing it between our defenders and midfielders.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

One of the worst games of football I’ve seen in a long time, and that’s saying something.

 

[AnotherStagsFan]

Are Bradford trying to draw every game 0-0?

 

[Bottega Don]

Why do Bradford play like they don't like football

 

[Luke Imp]

Tough watch, this.

At least Grimsby can pass it across their backline and midfield unlike Bradford, whose players look uncomfortable with a ball at their feet.

 

[SF_]

Actually a really nice goal.

 

[JJ1990]

Deserved. Bradford look utter shit.

 

[AnotherStagsFan]

Well that's Bradford's tactic finished, they might actually try and score now

 

[spireite]

It's easy to see why Bradford have only scored 4 goals all season

 

[WilsdenBantam]

was that the first attempt? Feels like it, awful game of football. The least bothered I’ve been since the end of Adams’ era to concede.

 

[Gladders]

Good to see Stocky has given the commentators his spreadsheet, showing both Gillingham and Bradford are near the top and Grimsby just a mid table budget.

 

[Gladders]

Well been very comfortable without creating anything, but good to see us stopping a poor Bradford side from even getting out their half when we do lose possession.

Need that second goal to kill the game off now and should be 3 points if that first half is anything to go by.

 

[PaulHaddock]

We’re now playing awful but this ref is ass.

 

[Don Caster]

You have got a decent choice, you have the Maesgwyn next door to the petrol station opposite the ground, who do amazing food. Plas Coch is the nearest pub from the ground and family friendly, but this is on the retail park, next to the ground.

Town is only a 10 minute walk from the ground. Plenty of choice there.

Ironworks on town hill is apparantly the designated away pub, but its the other end of town in fairness, and a free council car park is round the corner (free after 11).

Schoolboy error, the train was cheaper than the supporters coach but didn't get back to Donny until after 10 so opted for the easy option, turns out all coaches had to wait at Chester services to be escorted in by the Heddlu, currently on the road between Chester & Wrexham with little chance of a beer on arrival, at least the shop at chesterservices sold beer so had a couple of pint bottles of staroprarmen sat in the sun, seems a bit of an overkill & waste of resources though as 90 per cent of the coaches are either over 60 or under 15

 

[WilsdenBantam]

We e played better but not offering enough in the final third. It’s like a competition for most negative team in the league, Grimsby have been woeful this half it’ll be disappointing not to get anything I think a draws about fair atm.

Nothing to do so im watching. How can you be deserving of a draw with 0 shots on target at home though?

 

[Bottega Don]

The quality of this game is abhorrent, until that save just then I don't think either keeper had made one

 

[chief]

Mullin on the bench...

 

[Master D]

Mullin drags himself off his deathbed then.

 

[JJ1990]

Out of nothing equaliser. Great finish though.

 

[Gladders]

Typical town, don't create enough when on top and concede silly goals when winning. 9 points dropped from winning positions this season.

Still a point away from home would have taken before the game. Keep winning at home and drawing away and we won't be far off.

Because we scored a lovely goal and dominated the second half that’s how, any team as negative as that Grimsby team gets what’s coming to them as with us when we’ve conceded late in the last 18 month.

Terrible game of football but a fair result, not sure how anyone can really argue with it.

 

[EnglishRed]

Mullin and Fletcher on the bench. What a sight.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Oh and Danny Rose is still a horrible little cheating c***.

 

[LS Bantam]

If that spells the end of five at the back I can live with how terrible that game was.

How can you call us negative after that first half? We were defending a lead what's your excuse? One shot on target in the last minute and took a deflection to go in.

 

[chrisblor]

Second time this season we've played in blazing hot sun and Hurst hasn't utilised his bench (other than to bring on an incredibly right footed right back at left back who was miles out of position for the Bradford goal) which has led to us chucking away a lead and points. He was moaning to Radio Humberside a few weeks ago about other League Two managers not voting to increase the number of named substitutes from 7 to 9 - no idea why cos he seems completely allergic to the idea of actually making any progressive substitutions. Surely you have to utilise every single substitute available to you in conditions like that so you don't get exposed by lazy defending and poor tracking back like we did?
