Out-played, out-thought, out-fought, out-tackled, out-run, out-moroned (their fans)
Outraged? Nah... i enjoyed watching football being played at such a high level in L1
Sometimes, you just have to take it on the chin, accept the opponent was so much better than you on the day, and move on
I was pleased to see us keep our heads up, and enjoy some possession in the last 20 minutes. The only players who i'd be in any way critical of are Camps and Williams11 - not because they had poor games, but simply because both demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt to me that they're just too pedestrian to progress. Coming up against a Bradford side obviously fired up, they shrank whilst the others kept plugging away and both were removed from the firing line. Adshead was mercifully removed after 35 minutes, not because he wasn't playing well - he was - but this was no game for him to become embroiled in, and it was a bit tasty at times
Did anyone think i might've meant Hill Out? Nah... he put out a side on the back of consecutive wins with just one change, and can't be faulted for anything that happened during the game
I've already moved on, and hope the players can put this behind them, with maybe just the thought that when they next cross the white line onto the pitch, THAT is how the game is meant to be played - hard, fast, skilful, determined... just like we were in the 0-3 win at Valley Parade in our first promotion season. That's the standard we need to aim for - well done Bradford, you were a joy to watch

We didn’t compete, outfought all over the pitch. Why you are happy about that is a mystery, ah yes you are ‘cleverly making a point’ we were garbage, Bradford are not a good team |  |

Bradfords cynical fouling at every opportunity was not a joy to watch. Their 4th goal was though, after we gifted them possession yet a fookin gain... |  |

Hopefully the new board have a bit of ambition. Throw caution to the wind, break the transfer records, get in a groovy new foreign gaffer. 5 year plan, increase COA capacity, Premier League football challenging for top four. |
You missed out "hold a rock concert". |  | | |

Hera, hear. Even though we were given a lesson in how to win (and a pressing, fast-paced passing game we used to have) I enjoyed watching them until the first goal went in. Then the snide, dirty tactics started to creep in and for me, spoiled anything good they did. Barnsley came to the COA and out-footballed us with a mesmerising display. Bradford played a lot better than us - no doubt - but they also kicked us or fell over at every single opportunity. I know which of the two has my respect and which I dislike after that. |  |

At last, some reality.
First goal came from our corner.
Second goal, rank bad goal keeping.
Third goal an avoidable penalty.
Fourth goal a wonderful finish from a ball gifted to them.
It is our performance in question here, not theirs. | |

It could, but as with most home games, new threads are started apart from the match thread - i dare say you've done it yourself some time or other
Thanks for helping put the thread in the spotlight anyway, you're a great help at times!
Bradford will finish higher up in the league than us, i'm pretty sure of it based on that performance, though they've possibly got too much ground to make up to challenge for the playoffs. On that form though, they're a very, very good side and there should be no shame attached to our players
Sure, it's galling to have 2000+ baying Yorkshiremen taking the piss out of us, but you just have to walk away and start again. It could actually do us a favour once the dust has settled, by highlighting more precisely than ever where are weaknesses are, providing we have the wherewithal to do something about it |
What a load of absolute shit... you have outdone yourself D_A I didn't think it was possible but you have. |  |
| This is not the time for bickering.

I wouldn't even say the 4th is a wonderful finish - it goes (within reach) over Moore's head and into the middle of the goal. It looked good on 1st impression but I'd be looking at my keeper to do better. Has Keith still got Norman's number - he's next turn. |  |

Having watched it again I'm tending to agree with you. You would reasonably expect a keeper to get a hand to that shot | |

Lillis was dropped after a poor performance so the goalkeeper for Doncaster will be... |  | | |

The score line flattered them?????? I would say it flattered us |
Totally agree.........it flattened us.
Bradford were toying with us at the end....they could have gone for a Baker's dozen it was that bad.
Nowt like a really good dicking to bring us back to earth. | | | |

You obviously avoided seeing Inman doing his best not to get involved in anything that looked like a tackle, header or indeed bodily contact with anything in a red and yellow shirt. |  | | |

Rathbone aside I don’t thing any player today covered themselves in glory - the defence were vulnerable at all times, Camps and Adhsead off the pace, Hendo’s touches didn’t pay off today and Williams and Inman were anonymous. Today saw a Bradford playing at 100% and Dale at 40% - | | | |

Bradford were good but we were woeful. I couldn't give a shit about them - the bottom line is that if we accept performances like that as the norm at home then we are so far removed from the mantra that KH helped to instil that it's not even funny. Garbage to a man and unacceptable. End thread [Post edited 29 Dec 2018 23:01]

Can you please ask Camps what his twin brother has been up to since that game please? | | | |

Presumably sarcastic but well done, exactly summing up what some bellends seem to expect from this club |  | | |
