In all honesty, though I went to a very frustrating game yesterday, our performance did not surprise me. Not only were we bad after Colchester a few years back, but I seem to remember the 70's/80's team used to suffer defeats after playing in big FA Cup games. The match against Portsmouth was draining both physically and emotionally, and to me there is often a knock-on effect. In all honesty I think Bradford had a game plan which they executed well to nullify our attack. The signing of Nicky Clee and Tom Clare have probrably helped immensely, and their new manager/coach have organised them better. Do not think much of their keeper though. Showed signs of the old Macclesfield keeper, can't remember his name. Deliberate winding up of the fans after they scored the second with over-excuberent celebrations. Steward in the 2nd half was not much better, very obnoxious and provocative, everything a steward should not be. Led to cross words between fans and steward, he just made the situation unnecessarily worse.
Should have been a good day out, but unfortunately it wasn't. Lets hope it is a temporary glitch.
