A big crowd like Bradford's can make a difference too, not only in the money they bring into the coffers but the atmosphere they can create to spur their team on. Maybe if a few more people got off their arses and to the Ricoh we wouldn't be so shit.

£149 for a season ticket does help though.

We shouldn't over react. As spectacularly as the wheels came off when it was 11 v 11 things were looking good. No matter what manager or squad you have conceding a penalty and having a player sent off is going to have a huge impact. They then scored what sounds like an unstoppable free kick and another penalty.

Obviously not the result we wanted but lets try and look at some of the positives.

Of course we should overreact! Overreacting is what we do best.

More positives than negatives from the performance today, much improved from the Bury match.

This side is the worst in City's history and we are doomed for relegation, woe is me, wail, wail, gnash of teeth etc.


Ad nauseum.

It would somewhat ok if it was a one off but we literally play well for one half in every single game. That's Swindon, Shrewsbury and now today where we've been the better team by miles in the first half and not come away with three points. Mowbray needs to fix it soon or he should go. It was the same thing during our bad run last season.

Pricing them that cheaply gets the sales up, but doesn't stop then charging £25 per game though! So ST's might be reasonably priced but game by game it isn't. Especially for away fans.

Very easy to over react here. We crumbled 2nd half when we were down to 10 men knackered and trying to reorganise. looked solid at the back a threat going forward. We'll be fine this season.

Fookin foomin! Well I'm not, but I'm really cheesed off.

Mowbray has to be honest in his interview and say 'sorry'. Admit he got it wrong.

Not just the one change; all 3 were questionable today.

Why bring reid off for a centre half, then do the opposite.for g Thomas?

I have no issue losing to Bradford. They will be top 6 this season and are a good team that are well supported.

What I have an issue with is conceding 3 goals in ten minutes from a winning position. It just shows a lack of class, lack of knowledge and a lack of experience.

These youngsters play for 1 half and no more. We are losing too many times now. We have the youngest team in the league. It just doesn't work.

We had a good start to last year and the kids burned out again. I see nothing that shows us we will start winning soon. But we are told it's ok it's August and once September hits we will be ok.

I'm fuming. The club is toxic atm.

Let's face the facts today. Mogga dropped Harries who has been one of our top players this season just to play that 100 games in L1 player Turnbull. Turnbull hasn't played a competitive game this season. Not fair on Harries to be dropped. At least he gets his place back in the next game.

Apart from Agyei where will the goals come from??

Agree, but when you charge £6.50 per game on a ST, you sell that may of them that you can afford to ramp up matchday prices, but they're only £20 when bought in advance, so hardly extortionate. Ten years ago they averaged 8000 in league 1. Last season 18,000. Their approach to pricing is very refreshing.

Any of the three could have been dropped and Harries was unfortunate.

Strange game that. First half was an absolutely brilliant performance, we looked a level above Bradford, who I thought were poor. However, the way we imploded in the second half is a concern. I genuinely believe as the squad comes together though that we will see a massive upturn in our form. Obviously we have lost 3-1 so I don't want to be too optimistic, nevertheless massive improvements shown today and I'm sure the wins will start coming. Keep the faith. PUSB.
