Bradford City players put a smile on manager's face (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

What has Connell done wrong? Why won't PP give him a start?

Good result last night, avoiding defeat was important.

Looks like Northampton and Burton are the ones to catch, as we still have 2 in hand on them and 9/10 points to make up. Can't see us catching Exeter, with only one in hand on them, plus, they are the best team I have seen at VP this season. A decent side, who work hard, and very tactically aware, and deserved to win.

So lets get behind the boys on Saturday, Aldershot at VP is a game where only 3 points is good enough. I'm happy, as long as we give this points chase a real go, and the lads give it all every game, and so far, I have no complaints (Though I wasn't at the Vale game last night, so can't say for sure if the lads put in 100%, but the result would suggest they did)

And in response to spearmint... I'm not sure what Connell has done wrong, but I would assume Parky just feels that Hanson, Wells and Thompson are better forwards, that, to me, would be the only explanation.

Super forwards score lots of goals ,

I agree, and ours isn't doing too bad, and we kept their super forward at bay

Because your friend said Alan Connell was no good and he's not the answer to City's goalscoring 'problems' that is why. Have a word with your friend and tell him to stop knocking Connell. Then he might have a chance of being selected. Anyway, you were always the first to criticise Alan when he did play.

Wrong all round. Another individual who always says a player not in the team should be picked. Then when they are selected e.g. Connell complains that Wells, Thommo etc. should have played. Get a grip man. You select a team and defend it on here instead of carping.

Yeah, Pope got 5 last season. And who was the shining light who hammered Parkinson for not signing Lee Hughes. Where is that person? And who was the guy who had a friend who said Hanson was injured?

Not quite sure what point you are making, but I haven't suggested that anyone should be in the team, or out of it for that matter... Have you mistaken me for someone else?

It was me that has a friend who saw Hanson having a scan on a SUSPECTED torn ligament. I said he would have been out of the team for Wembley IF it turned out to be torn.

Obviously it wasn't...

I would hope that this comment doesn't refer to me either??

I don't know anyone that knows or has seen James Hanson, let alone suggest he is injured, and I would never suggest that anyone, and I mean anyone, signs Lee Hughes, after what he did, and showed very little remorse, I don't think he should be getting paid to do a hobby that he loves, but so be it. I think some fact finding is in order Peter..

As in my first post, I was simply offering a reason to spearmint as to why Connell isn't in the team, and that is because PARKY picks it, and obviously feels his other options are better. Also, I very rarely make comments on here about who should play and who shouldn't, because ultimately, my opinion means jack s**t when it comes to the crunch!

As previously predicted City would bounce back and start to make progress up the division.

We still have to give those Rasclarts Rotherham, Burton, Exeter, Cheltenham, Northampton and Southend a good whooping, who are all underservedly higher up the table than City.

Nobody makes predictions like me, Nobody!

Come on you Bantams, CTID!

Who are we to say who should play or not,if we say someone should play and he has a crap game after PP had chosen him,there are those that say he should not have picked him,and played someone else,what do we know ?? PP is the manager, and knows the players better than we do,so let him do his job,and pick the team to win the match...

Peter? Isn't it a bit early for the lid to be off the bottle?

Few of your posts above make sense.

Peter why do you insist on firing unsubstantiated bull around you are losing all credibility. Maybe you hope by accusing all and sundry you may eventually get it correct, I doubt it though and your ramblings are sounding more and more like those of a mad man.

Hope you are right But not so sure about Rotherham. I like reading you predictions but it would be better still if sometimes you would tell us the score keep predicting Keep Well up the City

I don't think that he has done anything wrong, but he lacks pace and for PP to play him successfully the whole team would have to play higher up the pitch.personally I think we have good defenders and it would be a good thing.

Nice one Lawsonie123, I have small reservations about Rotherham, but at the end of they day, They ain't Champs, They're Chumps! The Bantams are gonna open an extra large can of whoopass, on those cheeky rasclarts. Were gonna ride into Rotherham a whippin and a whoopin, were gonna drink all their beer, and take all their women back to Bradford for a good night out.

I decided against giving scores away, as this would result in a sharp increase gambling, and greed is bad.

Come on you Batmans, CTID!

Lets all say a big thank you to Bristol Rovers for giving Exeter a good drubbing tonight. It helps us a lot!

This guy needs help. If anyone knows Peter 300 please refer him to a psychiatric or mental health support service asap.

Good point which makes sense.

I don't understand what everyone is using as evidence to play Connell. He has a football brain and as added something different on occasions. But whenh he started, which hasn't been much granted he has looked lightweight and doesn't work as hard as Hanson/Nahki defensively. He does have certain qualities but they don't suit how we are playing as you state. using him from the bench is the best option considering how we play, hopefully as part of a plan B.....
