‘Hello Darkness my old friend’ - poor results, dropping closer and closer to the trap door, and fans not happy. Not sure where I’ve seen this film before…anyway…
A swift return to League Two action and this time we are ‘treated’ to Walsall vs Bradford City
Bradford arrive at Fortress Bescot having appointed joint managers in Conor Sellars and Mark Trueman following an upturn in form whilst they were in charge on a caretaker basis.
Their squad contains at least three ex-Saddlers at the moment in the shape of Richard O’Donnell (injured), Zeli Ismail (injured) and now the pantomine villain Andy Cook (on loan from Mansfield). They also have proven League Two players in the form of Lee Novak, Clayton Donaldson and ex non-league hotshot Danny Rowe
Bradford’s last six games are:
26th Jan - Southend United (a) - Won 3-1
30th Jan - Barrow (h) - Won 2-1
6th Feb - Exeter City (a) - Lost 3-2
16th Feb - Morecambe (h) - Won 2-1
20th Feb - Cheltenham Town (a) - Won 2-0
23rd Feb - Leyton Orient (h) - Won 1-0
So 15 points out of the last 18. If that is anything to go by then we are going to get dicked. But, the Walsall way would see us win this game.
Who know’s what to think any more
As usual, please let us know of any connections between the clubs, and also your guess as to what the line up will be. Personally I’d like to see Tyreik Wright back in the XI. After that, it’s anyone’s guess.
I honestly can not see us winning another game ? maybe a few battling draws but playing 90 mins of football and only having one or two shots on goal doesn’t bode well.
We have gone from mid table mediocrity to relegation candidates
Worst thing about us taking the lead is that we have some kind of mindset that we then sit back and allow the opponents to get back in every time This needs to change.
2-0 loss prediction I’m afraid. Strong squad. Very much in form.
Midfield will be a key battle. Feel we could get overrun in there.
I notice they have Elliot Watt in their side. I was really impressed with Watt when I saw him play for Wolves Development a couple of years ago. Good energy and very creative. Exactly the type we should have been trying to sign.
Also, Callum Cooke - who we tried to sign on loan from Sunderland a couple of years ago. Signed for Blackpool instead.
With their striker force and our leaky defence add their creativity in midfield I can’t see anything but an hammering 0-3. I can’t see us getting anything in the next 3 games then we go into the barrow game massively needing a result
I see improvement in each game. A narrow victory for the Saddlers. It would be good is one or two of our casualties could return yo give the team a lift.
