It would be if he hadn't just been taken off. Wilkinson on.
...and immediately booked. BTW, Vela and Beevers are now also on the nine-yellows tightrope.

Into five minutes of added keck-shredding.

EDIT Farewell, page four, you were good.

They get a free and Wilkinson gets booked after two minutes for complaining about a wrong position. Come on lads, get the break and they get a throw....Vela clears, we deflect for a home throw and....Vela clears and...is Thorpe getting a booking....oh, lets go to Bury with two m inutes left great. Five minutes added as the ref strikes again. We go, Thorpe and....OOOOOOOOHHH. Madine hits the keeper from 12 yards. They come again, long and......they attack but Vela gets it and....Wilkinson does.....what? Anyway, Vela loses it, they come again and......and....Wheats, Derik, back to them and....Ben grabs it and slows it down.

Minutes now, they clear, we go with Wilkie and Soloman getting slated for not following through. We go for a lst charge, Henry and.....the keeper grabs it and....Wheats clears, mic man goes mad as we don't get a definite shout from our villain ref. We get a free kick and....the faithful are the ones making the noise. And....it's 2-2...

One point when none looked on and preventing Bradford from edging up on us. We'll have it. Well done the Whites after a disastrous day by Ben. :oyea:

Excellent result; I'd have been thrilled with a point prior to the game, even more so when 2-0 down. Excellent also that Sheffield and Scunthorpe took points off each other.

Only downside is that Fleetwood won, keeping up their late charge at the automatic slots. But still - two games in hand.

Sounded like Alnwick had a mare, and our system didn't work when under pressure away from home. Sounded like it should have been 8-2. Given all that, got to admire our fight and determination to nick a point when everything seemed to be going wrong...

The commentator doesn't help as he's overly excited when other teams are attacking. He was calling for Howard at half time and was completely negative towards us. The referee was getting a slating. It doesn't help when they are supporters I suppose.

Madine had more shots on target than Bradford had all game but the way the commentator makes out they had hundreds.

Not really stats show they only had two shots on target we had 7

So 2-7 to us was the max score :)

Rode our luck. Think that's my first non loss away fans in about three years. So much better once Moxey and Trotter went off. Rather get a couple of fans to step in than see either of those clowns start another game. Bradford will winner how they didn't win that.

Well, I'm absolutely made up with that. At HT we could have gone one of two ways, lie down and lose with a whimper or stand up and fight and I'm delighted with the one that we choose. We musn't play Moxey and Trotter next week, though.

Enough with this shit. Moxey is out only fit left back. Trotter played well the previous two games.

Scapegoating players won't get us far. We have a squad ravaged by injuries and suspensions and need everyone to perform. Sounds like our keeper had a mare. Had he not, who knows?

Every player needs to make a contribution. Few weeks ago the daggers were out for Madine. He's going to likely finish our top scorer. And is scoring some important goals.

I'm with Nicko. He can play 3-5-2 without Moxey and Trotter. We were so much better without them. Moxey was awful when he played last week and Trotter was "ok" previously. If they're playing crap they deserve to be taken off
