Indeed. It's a marvellous marketing idea by Rhodes and whilst we rarely hear him speak to the public, whenever he does it seems to be with some great news like this! part-time work commitments unfortuantely restricted me from a season ticket this year, but when I go to University in September a free season ticket from my mate might be jus the leaving present I'd need!





Not such a long shot in all realms of possibility. Win our games in hand and we'll be 6 off the play-offs. And of course, that situation would improve even more tonight with a win. I'd like to see Thorne play 90 though, as far as I'm concerned he's the most intelligent player in this league. He also seems to have his goal-scoring boots on now, since hes had a good run in the team.

That's what I meant actually but I'm not supposed to be on here at work so I rushed it

Amazing what a win can do isn't it. Those above us aren't in the best form. If we can get some home form together again. We're well in with a shot.

Hopefully Rhodes will start tonight, and I'd be tempted to leave Willy on the bench for a while too. I think he's best served as an impact player tonight with the amount of games he's had and his calf problems.

3-2 City, good win.

Good win tonight against a decent team, with the pace of Colbeck, Daley and Rhodes in the side we can do some damage, and so it proved.

We sat back too much and invited them onto us in the second half, but that always happens with a two goal lead and I'm just glad we didn't throw points away at the end again.

Those defeats against Bury and Rochdale are now much more annoying than they were at the time!

Daley looks really good up the middle you know, he terrorises more bullish, bigger-framed CM's this league tends to provide.

Having pace through the middle and down the wings makes a huge difference. I like Nix, he's decent, but we're so much better when we have so much pace in the side.

Daley looks much happier down the middle, especially as he doesn't have the responsibility of helping his full back.

The thing with Daley is he likes receiving the ball into his feet, rather than running onto it, playing off the striker allows him to get the ball like that - and no defender is going to be too keen to have him running at them.

I was going to post about the Rotherham strikers shocking open goal miss at 2-0, but then Peter Thorne (of all people) managed to surpass it at the end - when he missed that I was convinced Rotherham were about to go upfield and equalise!

They were some impressive misses! No doubt Soccer AM will use them to highlight the quality of Division 4 football

I was informed Thorney was offside when he 'missed' spectacularly!

Thank God it didn't really matter in hindsight!

I've now seen something even more shocking than those misses - apparently we are set to [url=http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/rotherham/Bantams-set-to-turn-the.3814132.jpmake a profit[/url this year.

As for play-offs, my mate has just pointed out that if Rotherham do go into admin, the way things stand with them minus 10 we's actually just be 7 points off the play-offs with 2 games in hand on Chesterfield!

I don't want Rotherham to go into admin though, and that scenario panning out is a little far fetched!

Typical City I guess.

Truly abysmal, and why anyone lets that donkey Conlon take penalties I don't know - even the ones he has scored have been unconvincing.

No doubt we'll go and beat bloody Stockport next week just to make this defeat that little bit more irritating

I presume largeley because other than the miss hit bobble over the keeper against Lincoln it's the only way he is going to score

Looks like the wheels have come totally off....

We only had 2 wheels to start with, and one of them has fallen off. A bit late, but I have to comment on the Stockport game, one of the most toothless performances I have seen from a Bradford side, and I've seen quite a few. Why on earth have we got Peter Thorne on his own up front?? We were overrun for a full 90 minutes and to top it off, it rained for a full 90 minutes, in an open end



I have no real inclination to watch the rest of the games this season, but I probably will. Let's hope tonight is better but I fear a hammering is on the way. A lot to do in pre-season (Paul Evans out would be a good start)....

I was actually talking about my team (Rotherham United)

Sorry, I know you were, it's difficult to pick up the tone of my first sentence when you're reading it

Honestly, i dont think we will even be in the football league next year, dont think our financial situation will improve and we will go under



Save the Millers!

Bardford will win tonight folks, talk in the city is that Chester players haven't been getting paid at times.

Chester are in freefall. Will be suprised if they get anything out of the game against Bradford.

Do it every year, recruit well, perform well until xmas then they don't get paid "alledgedly".

They started off really well. They were in the playoffs untill Christmas like you said.

Sounds like they havent go tthe right people on board upstairs

Whatever the score ends up, the fact that Barry Conlon has scored says all you need to know about Chester!

In almost 23 years of going to watch City I've seen a lot of dire displays but todays, in particular the first half, has to be right up there as one of the very worst.

Utterly, utterly dreadful, May can't come soon enough.
