TheRedHalf Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 With less than a week to go now until the start of the new season, I am sure that all of you have day dreamed about what lies ahead of us this season. City have lost their opening games for the past three or four seasons in a row now I believe and I am hoping that this year we can break that pattern. What result would be considered a good start to the season on Saturday? For me anything but a win will be a disappointment, and also does anyone have any idea how many fans Bradford are bringing to this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 It's clear a win would give everyone more confidence which is what we want. Bradford will bring a good following as they are well supported but I am confident we'll pick up 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMal Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Just a win, would take 1-0 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider red Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Bradford are no mugs and i predict them to be top half with ourselves. Win would be a good result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Bradford are no mugs and i predict them to be top half with ourselves. Win would be a good result. Agree. I personally think they will be well into the top half and possibly even play offs. I would snap anyone's hand off now if I was offered a 1-0 win! Would be a great start!

Brizzle Jordan Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Flint should be able to handle James Hanson in the air so hopefully Williams or Fontaine can deal with Wells! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy1968 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Lets not get too concerned about results, especially in the first few weeks. Especially after last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo1111 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Lets not get too concerned about results, especially in the first few weeks. Especially after last year. I know what you are getting at but we don't want to be five or six games in and still waiting for our first Win. Confidence is vital this season. A point and a decent performance wouldnt be a disaster in the first game. Teams who have just come up are notoriously hard to play on the opening day.

Lrrr Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Just got a feeling of a 1-1. Think we may stutter for a few weeks then hit the ground running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglia Red Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Bradford put 4 past Guiseley and then Athlone and Bohemians in a pre-season trip to Ireland, as well as 2 against Grimsby and one in a 2-1 defeat at home to Donny on Saturday. They haven't played anyone of much substance in pre-season but will be full of confidence in front of goal -Our defence will need to be on top form to hold them out, but I am still optimistic for a narrow win given our last 2 excellent performances v Reading and B'mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prankerd Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Smash everyones dreams and lose 3-0! Thats the realistic city im used to! But na its got 0-0 written all over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidence is vital that means beating Bradford at home and not worring to much about what they can do; just concentrate on what we can do, thats start with a win at home. We have what we wanted a young eager team now lets play football.......... 3-0 to Bristol City take them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy082005 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 have a sneaky feeling this game has 1-1 written all over it. Both teams are not going to want to lose their first games of the season. Bradford will be tough, but I am quiet confident that this season will be an enjoyable one. 1-1 draw, follwed by 3 points against Coventry at the Sixfields will be a good start in my eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Do The Dziekanowski Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 2-1, we score twice in first half and they get a late goal to make us have a nervy injury time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i hate rovers Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Don't moan and grown at them when mistakes are made'its virtually a new side, let's all get behind them from the start.

Robbored Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Any kind of win would be a good start. A victory gets the monkeys off yer back and gives the players confidence as well as allowing them to relax into a long season. A clean sheet would be a great start as well. Obviously a nice 3-0 would be perfect but a scrappy 1-0 would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Am A Cider Drinker Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 2 0 win Flint header from a corner after city dominate the first half hour with possession and a few half chances and a goal early in the second half before city frustrate Bradford with some beautiful one touch football 65% possession Bradford have 2 shots the whole game and 1 is brilliantly saved by fielding so that's what I hope but seriously who knows? Going to be a really interesting season and one where I fall back in love with city and football even if we finish mid table COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, goals for us have been a rarity pre-season, unless SOD can pull a rabbit out of the hat late striker signing it's 0-0 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
