Well what an enjoyable game that was overall.
Felt like a win at full time so my match report may be slightly blinded by the overall result, rather than the entire 90 minutes. Anyway, I didn't think Bradford deserved to be 2 or 3-0 up when they actually were, it was a very even game with both...
I think it will be quite quickly actually, there's a lot of unrest which doesn't normally happen with us as a club. O'Driscoll had a couple of really awful performances and he was out the door in 3 games. It's 1 win in 12 now, we don't look like scoring and have signed players to fit a system...
The sooner the better.
Fans can't stand him as a manager, he has fallen out with every single senior member of the playing staff and more importantly, the board have basically admitted he is naive in the press and a 3 year deal was 'right at the time' - as if to say not now.
He will be out...
We could have the best back 5 in the entire of world football and we would still struggle.
We have no pace, no energy and zero goal scoring threat unless Oztumer pops up with a long range effort.
P45 for Whitney and his boring, defensive negativity.
I can genuinely never remember a more boring off-season for us in terms of signings. A couple of Scottish full backs, a centre back from Crewe and another 1 on loan from Sheffield United, all topped off by a goalkeeper that the Carlisle fans nick named 'lettuce hands'. When you add that to board...
Game in the balance now with Westley and importantly Root out.
De Kock has been excellent behind the stumps, great catch to get rid of Root and the ball has moved/dipped after the bat a lot so far today.
114-3 and off for rain.
Impressed with Westley, looks proactive. Reminds me of a more stylish Johnathon Trott in many ways (good ability to leave, anything straight gets put away through mid-wicket/leg side). Could be a tough day with us most likely to spend quite a bit of time off the field for heavy shower this...
I had a funny feeling we might have a good day today, carry it over into tomorrow and just fall short in terms of time. Couldn't have been more wrong. South African bowling attack streets ahead of ours with Rabada to come back in. Ballance, Jennings and Dawson all to go out, more so to break the...
Tidied this thread up a few pages back and sent a couple of PM's, try to keep it calm and friendly please. I know it's the off season so everyone is thumb-twiddling but still, it's not necessary.
Pretty hard pitch to bat on, so 300+ would be a solid chase. This morning has been lame however and just as everyone knew, Cook, Jennings and Ballance as a top 3, all left handers, 3 of the most boring players anywhere on the circuit to watch in terms of taking it to be the bowler won't work...
Welcome back and apologies for today's downtime - glad to be back.
Big thanks to Mark to solving the issue and ensuring as rapid a return to being online as possible. Unfortunately, I am useless when it comes to this side of things so Mark has really saved the day on this one.
Service should...
