Quite the best display this season eclipses the Oxford game if only based on determination, grit and hard work. We were first into the tackle and closed them down very quickly which was so good to see. Bradford quite simply weren't able to settle from the off. I like the idea of Turnbull playing at left back where he did ok; more importantly on set pieces he transferred to central defence which was a clever strategy by JFH;why didnt we experts spot that earlier in the week! The look of sheer commitment displayed by Foley on Saturday was representative of the team selected. It was again very good to witness! So the moral is hard work, commitment, grit and get at 'em will eke out rewards.
JJOT was great , hated by the Crowd and not bullied by the Bradford players. He gained quite a few free kicks too and was instrumental in our general overall play. All the players played well including Facey who was facing a direct and skillful winger as did Turnbull and O'Connell. On the day I thought he (O'C) might have saved their goal it but in viewing the highlights maybe he was out of position or left his right post too exposed? In any case his earlier saves, anticipation and kicking was good. No point in highlighting individual players as one and all rose to the occasion. Also well done to JFH for selecting the side on the day as I would certainly keep it for MK match. The victory and manner of it answers many of his critics on here too! Just a word of warning on the upcoming game with MK - some seem to think its a gifted 3 pts. It wont be as they are in a desperate situation, but if we display the same level of performance we stand a good chance of victory.
