Aizoon Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I thought it took longer than that for suspensions to take effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abraham Romanovich Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Didn't we lose to Bradford in our last promotion campaign 3-1 at home on a foul Tuesday night. Might be the memory playing tricks but the rain was driving in horizontally and at half time in the centre circle there was a Neil Diamond tribute act singing Sweet Caroline and Forever in Blue Jeans in the eye of the storm - surreal to say the least.

P'head Red Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 From the few highlights on the FLS, Bradford were unlucky to not score at least one, considering they had 10 men, they didn't play that badly. A poor defensive error killed the game off. It will be another tough game Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A poor defensive error killed the game off. It will be another tough game Tuesday.Also lucky not to finish with 9 men after that defender picked up and threw one of the Sheffield United forwards on the ground for no reason. Add that to the pretty awful habit they seemed to have of either backing off attackers or barrelling like rugby players, I'd not say they looked worth more than a two nil defeat. Didn't see that match, but from what I've seen if them this season prior (including against Barnsley), they look very physical and not much else. Although that doesn't prohibit them turning us over, I'd say that if we didn't head into this weekend's match with any fear, we should have none Tuesday either. And with their proclivity to tug shirts and knock folks about, am interested to see how they'll react to rapid and agile players like Bryan, Agard and Freeman running at them, because if those highlights are anything to go by, they'll struggle.

Rudolf Hucker Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I watched the match and it was poor fare from both sides. Bradford were very physical and didn't present too much of a goal threat all night. Aaron Maclean was their main striker; Stead was brought on with 10 minutes remaining and ran around a lot but by that time Sheffield were content to pass the ball around endlessly across the back line and run down the clock so he didn't threaten to score. The Bradford captain was sent off for a second bookable offence 20 seconds into the second half and before his manager had returned to the pitch! Sheffield should have been awarded a pen for the wrestling throw performed upon one of their forwards right in front of the referee but for some reason, he allowed it to go unpunished. Bradford looked like the middle of the table side that they are but despite that, we must not underestimate them. Our high tempo style and pace will cause them problems.

redcherryberry Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Although its a bonus captain Stephen Darby will be out Tuesday they do have Gary Liddle available again after suspension but if we can cut the supply out to Hansen it should be another 3 points for the City boys!!!

cidered abroad Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 This could be the one that got away because Bradford City have not been beaten in their last five visits to The Gate. In fact out of eighteen visits to City since 1903 we have only won five while Bradford have won ten. One of our jinx teams? PS Don't take any notice of me. We are going to win? Yes!

OldlandReddies Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Unless ANY team score 4 against us they wont win the game. We always score 3, we always score 3, we're Bristol City, we always score 3 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Their recent form looks unconvincing to me. Since winning at MK Dons on 16th Sept they've drawn with COLU and Port Vale, beaten Crewe at home, then lost 3-1 to Barnsley and 2-0 to Sheff U... I doubt they're looking forward to their trip to AG tomorrow one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1100 is the limit of away support due to the building work being carried out at Ashton Gate. Presently, the stadium is 3-sided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
