Its not ricketts warming the defenders up this week I don't think. Unless he is smaller with grey hair

Put some weight on too

[Nick]

The assistant manager looks to be going round being involved in everything as well! Improvement on people doing what they want

 

[steve82]

Different warm ups too

Different warm ups too

noticed that, seems more organised

 

[lifeskyblue]

More organised and more professional. Nearly always think the opposition warm ups are better


PUSB

Yes, refreshing to see. I'm pleased with all the minor changes so far. Slade was obviously old school in his approach and Robins more modern.
I do hope our subs warm up better at half time, remember Fleetwood? There coaching team had them doing mini games. Warming up with intent.
We just do 50 yard pings to each other with the odd jog. Winds me up.

Foley at RB. Nooooo!

Let's see if Robins sets up properly with 4 strikers on the pitch at the same time

 

[Grendel]

Five players signed by Slade in the team.

Robins clearly hasn't a clue.

He don't like our kids
Sack him!!

 

[shmmeee]

Right, got to go build a greenhouse for a bit. I expect us to be at least 3-0 up by the time I come back or I want Robins out.

 

[covcity4life]

Dave benett says slade made us worse. Some posters say it was same as mowbray and venus lol

 

[covcity4life]

4 st. Robons going for it

 

[Paxman II]

Surprised not to see Bigi in there.

I'm not

Vernam looks to be up front?

Gone just behind now

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Clive just referred to the Bradford fans as 'Blackburn fans'.

Face palm.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Come on city. Robins needs to get wood to play the ball quickly to baker who can slip McGoldrick in.

Ooops sorry caught in a time warp.

 

[Nick]

Decent direct forward play then

 

[sw88]

2 consecutive throw ins by foley go straight to Bradford

Is this guy even a footballer?

 

[Great_Expectations]

The players are actually trying to pass to one another and find feet.

What is happening?!

 

[sw88]

Stokes looks rusty.

Strange call up for him imo

Has he even been playing in the development games up to now?

 

[covcity4life]

Stokes having a bigi like return debut lol

I think he's been training but Robins chucked him in now because of Haynes' illness. Maybe he thinks playing players not 100% is better than having them out of position.

 

[wingy]

Great to see Stokes back.
Shame no Lameiras thought!

 

[sw88]

Nice to see passing football back even if we do seem a little out of practice doing it

True. Just hope it doesn't hamper his come back like the checkatrade game did

 

[sw88]

Stevenson received the ball from a defensive clearance from our corner, tries a first time shot, just wide

 

[sw88]

Kwayme knock down tin beavon who tries an overhead kick. Goes wide.

Thought it was in! Buggar!

 

[Nick]

That was close, marshall causing issues on their right

 

[sw88]

Stokes against Marshall, the latter manages to get a cross in, 9 heads against the post

Should have been a Bradford goal. He'll be disappointed

Free header on 6 yard line

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Bradford hit post and the Thomas George makes chance for vernam

 

[sw88]

Chance for George Thomas who cant get a shot away instead plays it to Vernam who's shot is blocked, second effort blazed wide

 

[Grendel]

It was a fair bit wide to be fair. A good effort though.

We will struggle later on in this game,

Marshall shows what we are missing all season - width pace and crosses.

Burge flapping like a fish out of water as always.
