My thoughts:
Created this at work, and forgot to post it, lovely. Better late than never though. It's got to go better than Saturday, surely?
Internationals mean we lose 3 players for the night

Performance has been woeful overall. But, maybe,
maybe, Grayson has seen more evidence that his favorite old-heads are maybe, carp. And maybe, he'll
play the younger talent that's been parked on the bench for too long. Maybe?

He's started showing faith in Clayton - our best player on limited evidence so far this season, time to show that same faith in Lees.

Grayson isn't good enough , only when his hand is forced do we see some improvement.

Whiterose, I fear you are right.

Clayton, Lees, hopefully Grayson is starting to get the message.

Let's hope so Jonty. Surely he has to know that if he continues to play O'Brien, he may as well fill out his
own p45.

Lets face it , if Paynter was fit he would have started.

Right?

Much better second half CLEARLY ob and kissa do not work together at centreback, Parker is crud, just god aweful, now onto connelly.
I was extremly critical of Sam first half, and whilst I feel my comments were justified, I would amend them slightly, when lees cane on Sam looked a lot better and this I feel was due to the fact that he knew lees was there in space as an outlet if he ran himself into trouble, ala the 2nd goal, I don't get this feeling with connelly, ontop of that I thought brown felt alot more comfortable with lees and bronmby on the pitch as they all interchanges their position very effectively, it stiffles Bradford attacking play down the right, and in honesty they aren't great down the left. So lees should be a switch for the weekend
clayton was very solid, I am worried however that 2 games 2 yellows that's the only downside to his play I have seen so far
McCormack looked like a different player once he scored, he needs to have the acuracy as well as the power in his shot though
nunez and Sam played well together, both Can however be very greedy, and nunez is clearly a one foot player
lonergan undecided, he is however alot better on the cross than kasper ever was and the defence trust him in that sense
my thoughts anyway, we looked very good in parts, we hae alot to build on, if we can keep up the good elements for 90 mintues of ever game, we will cause teams alot of trouble
