And speaking of SW19 - a proper Bradford report has just been published. Enjoy... - [Link]

[Link] Kind of like Bradford’s SW19 Army….

If you look at away matches we're 6th in the table and Bradford are 12th so our excellent performance against them shouldn't be that much of a shock.

Let’s hope Mansfield don’t play this well next weekend…. [Link] 👀😯

I would say that most results will reflect both our performance and that of the opponent. Yesterday, I thought that we played really well and also that Bradford played badly. I don't know why they played below par, probably partly because of the pressure we put on them, but to me having their preparations and mind-set disrupted by their poor travel planning probably did contribute to that (but that would be down to their negligence, not just bad luck).

Seddon is still my player of the season, Browne's goals notwithstanding. Persuade me otherwise.

Everyone stepped up and it was a whole team performance. No-one was bad and I have no problem with Smudger getting MotM. After months of disappointment, Bauer impressed me.

Sedds my MotM today. Had Newtown in his pocket all game. Ogs a close second. Honorable mention for Browne. Nobody was poor. Most enjoyable!

How the frigging hell is Paris Maghoma playing for Norwich in the Championship?? His agent must be a miracle worker :-o

Alan, it just seems to me that too often we apparently only win because our opponents were rubbish. I'd like to see more credit given to us for making them look rubbish.

Not enough use of the word “stymied” on here.

Tomato, pointing out how poorly they prepared isn't making excuses for them. That's on them. I said before the game dropping Nkeng was something I was comfortable with, was sure Bauer was the answer judging but recent games, Northampton in particular, but it seems it worked a treat. I'm more than convinced that our performance and result were based on us limiting them in their approach rather than the Bantems being stymied by other reasons.

Their manager said he doesn't think the delay was a problem and to say otherwise would be making excuses.

Why are there posters who have to find an excuse for our opponents whenever we win?

6M$M can only assume your 20.19 post is intended as satire, because if you are seriously suggesting that the club made the snap decision to not display the ko delay on a digital board outside the ground (within the very short time between ko delay being confirmed and 3pm), with the explicit intention of capturing fans for 30 minutes' extra revenue, then you sir are unhinged.

Hilton Cobham is usually the preferred location for a visiting team, but might have the Rugger at Twickers scarpered that plan?

Definitely a massive error by Bradford in terms of travel - both in terms of where they stayed (why so far across London) and not considering the likely traffic conditions from two events which were well known in advance. We certainly played well today and might well have won anyway but turning up late and not having the chance to prepare properly will certainly have impaired their performance - they seemed off the pace right from the start.

Their approach at corners was strange, if a short corner really looks likely then you need 2 players out, they only put one so Tilley had a free pass into the penalty area. Also, I know JJ wouldn't do it, but if you are 2-0 down leave a couple of players up when defending corners. Apart from anything else it may well screw up corner routines as key players have to stay back to mark. One team left 3 up a few weeks ago and we looked totally perplexed about what to do.

Now that Reeves is out of the side the rest of the midfieders are making their own decisions and playing with freedom.

Well worked corner routine for the Stevens goal. Makes a change from floating the ball into the keeper hands or at the head of the oppositions tallest player.

If true, that would make it very difficult for their players to get in the zone and prepare properly

How fragile must you be if walking/running a few hundred yards could cause you to lose a football match to a team 10 places below you?! Nah, not buying it. We were superb today and we’d have beaten then whatever time they arrived.

Alexander said after the match that three basic errors cost them,funnily enough the Reading manager did the same

That obviously affected them mentally and physically because I refuse to believe they are as shit as they were today. It's just not possible.

Apparently they walked through from the Corner Pin. I was selling programs in the way end and the coach arrived a few minutes after the players. Alexander had a face like thunder.
