The pitch looked in decent shape when I arrived here just before 5pm and ref Paul Howard seemed happy having had an early check.
But heavy rain ever since has changed the situation - with the officials particularly concerned about the two ends on the Midland Road side.
The ground staff will continue forking those areas between now and kick-off. Unfortunately the forecast is for much of the same for at least the next couple of hours ...>> | |

Five at the back? No Graham, whilst Taylor and John return. Quigley and Ball dropped. [Post edited 10 Jan 2023 18:47]

The biggest concern, even if it’s called off, is no Campbell on the bench. | |

That Simon Parker is really good and has been for years. I know it's a city paper, but it serves as an example of how a dedicated local reporter can do his job to a high standard if he wants to. |  |

And he’s actually a Portsmouth fan.
He clearly cares about his readers who look for information rather than repeating what’s available elsewhere. | |

Rochdale forecast for next 7 days is grim, between 100% to 70% chance of rain every day. 4 hours of respite tonight and then more or less constant rain until next Tuesday. |  | | |

Depends which forecast you look at, BBC have sunshine and showers plus various percentages ranging from 20+ to 80+% between now and Saturday. It even stopped for an hour or so today.
Even then, Saturday may be in doubt with the sheer amount of rain both before and after today. | |

Forget the weather, forget the missing players, this indicates we are wearing black socks and so are they.
You can play around puddles akin to Hollingworth Lake, but you can’t carry on when there’s a socks clash. | |

A game I'd have been more tempted to play McNulty, be interesting to see how/if Quigley responds to being benched | | | |

Agreed on McNulty. Always done ok in a back three.
The socks are white. Deserving of three points now, no need to play. | |

Still struggling to get my head round the formation to be honest.
Are we just setting up to defend and try and nick a point?
Be interesting to see what sort of reception ROD gets at his former club. | | | |

Set up to try and not lose, then when the inevitable happens its time to shuffle it all around again | | | |

Gary Jones is the co-commentator for Bradford on ifoller. Very enjoyable listening to someone who knows the game. |  | | |

1-0 down. Weak defending by Cameron John and then EEL, and a good finish by them. The pitch is like a paddy field. | | | |

Seriki is being rinsed here - hoping for Keohane to RWB and Diagouraga on at half time. | | | |

Pleased for Max Taylor. He has had a good half. | | | |
| Bradford match thread on 20:37 - Jan 10 with 6656 views | Newbury_Dale |
Players have worked hard but efforts undone by typical defensive ineptitude from Ebanks Landell and John. Max Taylor showing up well first half. | | | |
| Bradford match thread on 20:39 - Jan 10 with 6590 views | jfmolyneux |
Seriki has been v poor, gives the ball away a lot and has put 2 or 3 really poor deliveries in from good positions.
Despite how sluggish he looked, this game could maybe do with Quigley,. We need an outlet up top, nothing is sticking with Rodney atm. | | | |

What were the flashes on the back of Lloyd's socks in the calf area last Saturday? I expected to see you posting we should have forfeited the game?

Good last 5 minutes but look toothless as usual. Taylor having a good game. Need to try another body up front if we're going to get anything out of this game. |  | | |

Henderson has put himself about more in that 45 minutes than Quigley has in the last 3 weeks. | | | |

I could not understand why he selected John, he is always making mistakes, the first half shows why need bodies in. | | | |

I had planned to count how many 50:50 headers Quigley won tonight. I started on Saturday after a dire 1st half and he was at 2 out of 7 when he was subbed. He has the leap of a full-term female elephant. I suspect Ibbi could outjump him by at least a foot. Unfortunately that's the only thing Ibbi is good at.
