Always take a point away from home….but at some point we have to start turning a lead into a win

Second half was much better. Looked like two top of the league contenders slogging it out!

We played some good football, good passing and were unlucky. A good point away from home so will take that all day long.

Bradford could easily of been down to 10 or 9 men, thought they were reckless in the tackles.

Would've taken a point pre match but still frustrating to concede beyond that 75 minute mark.

Still, stops the rot and seeing out those 3 or 4 corners at the death must be a boost.

Positives - Campbell and Gotts had their best games in a while, Spence and Acquah back.

Negatives - still created very little. Vassell let Cook stroll off for their goal.

Solid away performance on the whole cba t fault the effort from the lads and defended well at the end for a change with Bradford applying pressure

Solid away point. Some good performances tonight. Kirk looking better every game and can’t fault the work rate and effort from the lads

To be honest mate, I'm sick of these soft goals from cross's Chesterfield, Doncaster, Morecambe, tonight!, but that will have done their confidence good ,might have stolen it at the end !

Played better tonight & yet again we get nothing from the refs, Sanderson only had eyes for Vassell to launch his assult by elbowing him, Within a min or so Cookie raked his studs down Campbells knee, Both Red cards for me.

I thought Dallas worked hard & yes we want strikers scoring but Andy stopped several attacks building tacking from the front, Gotts had one of his best games & topped it bagging his first of the season.

Over all a decent showing but we really need to be scoring more as 4 out of the bottom 6 have more goals than we have, got to be addressed.

Positives are 2 Unbeaten now, good balance to the team, Didnt concede a late goal 2 games running, Green shoots & all that.

Clemence needs to go but we cannot afford to sack him.
The guy will take us back to Non League

If it wasn't in the context of 10 games (or whatever it is) without a win we would say that was a good result. It sounded like a competent away performance. Still a worry that we create so few chances though.
This is bang on! Felt at HT we were the better side and certainly deserved a draw. It’s a good point. Although Bradford are a ‘big club’ they are pretty sh!te. But we’ve watched a few poor teams take points from us so far.

Couldn’t get that second goal that we always needed but I guess a point there on the run we are on is a decent point.

It had to be Cook though- who else.
