CITY 2 ALDERSHOT 1 (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance

"Omar Daley capped his first start of the season with a spectacular goal against Aldershot this afternoon."

Ahem, Simon, it was Daley's third start of the season. He started against Lincoln and Bury (H).

Great performance by the players today against tough opposition. Thought Hanson was brilliant

As previously predicted, City came away with a positive result, Come on you Bantams!

Good match, Daley worked hard to get back too, sat back a little but i guess this was Taylors tactic to have everyone behing the ball, Oliver reminds me of a Weatherall player.

My dads has uploaded a video of city in the in UEFA Intertoto Cup back from 2000 against Zenit St Petersburg, Can anyone spot a Fat Mark Lawn. Hes also got the match of england v Germany where the city players where involved that comin soon!

when we win why is it you always come on saying you predicted a positive result but i can never recall your actually predictions??
Hanson was very good today and a good solid professional win which i think we will see many of the same kind under Taylor.

I predict that City will either win, lose or draw all of the games remaining between now and the end of the season. How's that.

did anyone notice that ramsden was swapped for bateson at half time, i didnt even hear it anounced and it doesnt mention it in the match report

That was Andre the Buttshavers first game on Engrish soil.

An interesting and dull fact of equal measure.

Hoots mon!

Taylor said on the radio driving home that Ramsden has a calf problem and will miss next weeks game. I thought Bateson looked very comfortable when he came on.

i heard that Thorne and Boulding were released and left the club today before the game not sure if 100% true but the person who told me has no reason to lie. makes sense to me as the appearance money from these 2 and brandon are been used to fund the loans or save the club some money and if Taylor doesn't have them in his long term plans makes sense even more. good luck to them a bit gutted thornes never got chance to make it 200 career goals as i believe he ended last season on 198.

Yeah was at the game, i was in the main stand near the kop end so only saw Bateson near me on the second half, thought ramsden was on first half, my eyes aint brilliant, heard a rumour, dnt know how much is true, but someone just txd me and said the Boulding brothers and Peter Thorne have been released, cant be true can it?

Heard from someone at the club Micheal Boulding, Rory Boulding and Peter Thorne have all been paid up on there contracts and have left the club. Also theres a business man from Andorra interested in buying out some shares from Rhodes.

I heard it a few weeks ago too but its come up again today, he's suppose to be a friend of lawns and theres been meetings down in london this week trying to finalise the deal. Personally i hope it is bull we dont want to have someone come in like that and make us end up like Notts County

if its straight forward investment then fari play but not if he wants to start sticking his nose in...things have beens aid about lawn but we all kno whe as the best interests of the club at heart. make me chuckle seeing him on the above link though.

Previoulsy predicted weeks ago when I knew Brandon would not play again, Thorne and Boulding would not be required under Taylor.
Not only does this save the club money in what is really a pointless end to the season put allows Taylor to show the chairmen what he is about which is what he had to do in the 15 weeks.

May be the man will bring some cheap cigs to keep the smokers happy and good ridance to Thorne and co lets hope Jacobs goes with them.

As stated in the report it was Daleys first start under PT are you thick or what or are you aynus?

The defence looked very organised on saturday and the goals where very well taken and at last we are looking like we are a big threat from corners. The ball isnt always getting launched up to hansen all the time which has taken alot of pressure off the lad. The city side seems to be getting much taller now and it looks like its working a bit better with a few bigger players in the side. As for the playoffs......No, I would rather wait for next season and if we can keep hold of Taylor then i see no reason why we cannot get top 3 in the league. There will be more defeats to come this season but at least we have something to cheer at home. Keep it up city.

I am not certain that the players have been paid up as that would have meant a capital payment out of the club immediately. more like that they have been put on "gardening leave2.

Taylor will have told the Board that they no longer feature in the current plans:they will not be in any future plans so there is no point working with them as they are not going to contribute anything at all. If any of them should find a club then their contracts would be cancelled by mutal contract enabling them to join other clubs as free agents.


it was a win with two great but different goals
but that last minute miss from Aldershot!! where was our defence? questions need asking.

Hanson's header reminded me a little of Bobby Campbell: he came in late and hard for it and there was no way he going to miss. This lad, with proper coaching, has a great future in the game
The others that are probably not going to be here and who not future in first team plans are needed to fulfil reserve fixtures.

A win is welcome and the two goals were terrific. However, it was still a negative showing and Aldershot must be kicking themselves for not getting a point (more comedy striking!). An encouraging display from Oliver at the back and Threlfall and OB on the left looked solid. A pacy striker to partner Hanson and we could have a decent balance on the pitch.

City lack pace up front and hopefully this is something that PT will address. The team need an outlet as the ball just kept coming back. The Aldershot opener was virtually invited as city had all their players in their own half. Omar really needs to work on his diving though; perhaps we could get Edinho in to do some coaching...

balbrigganfc, balbriggan says...
5:16pm Fri 12 Mar 10

I predict City to come away with a positive result tomorrow at home.

Gspot as you can see from the above, this is when I predicted the positive result against Shots, have a look yourself.

That kinda covers all angles, can you predict the outcome of each game as being one of:

a win, or a draw or a lose

Since I made that comment the match report was updated! It had said "Omar's first start of the season"

So don't get personal and call me thick - and certainly don't accuse me of being Waynus!! ;-)

Disgraceful comment about Thorney, he's been one of our best ever strikers..

"It was still a negative showing", I don't ever remember you being as scathing in criticism over your beloved McCall.

I had no problem in you defending Stuart, but to come on here now criticising Taylor, seems like double standards to me.

I think Taylor's made a pretty good start to his reign. Four wins from 7, only 2 of those games being at home, 1 victory at a side that are likely to be champions, another at 1 who will be in the play offs or better, and the 3 defeats away from home against teams who were above us in the table. Let's also not forget that this is not is team.

Given the chance next season which I hope he will be, I'm confident he will take us into the play offs or better, and make a mockery of the underachievement that there was under McCall.

Until then I will come at with such classics, as "Rome wasn't built in a day", "we have no money to spend" etc, etc.

Webess is right. All you ever do is moan and slag off our players and staff. Injuries happen in football and given the choice you can be pretty certain that Thorne would rather be on the pitch scoring goals than injured.

if boulding has gone then a shame very good striker but we did not play to his strengths.

thorne top scorere for a couple of years great player at this level biut often it is time for change.

Taylor must be given a longer contract

one thing for sure. A decent keeper is needed for next season.

I agree a new keeper if we are not going to give mclaughlin a chancenace: I hope we can keep Threlfall. Boulder and Oliver but we do need another central forward with a bit of pace. Hanson will improve with proper coaching and will hold the ball up better.

Flynn looks like he is now playing for a contract and I think we should keep him with Bullock who has improved this last few weeks.

Well done City. First time ive seen them win this year. Hanson was magnificent and played really well with Flynn,Apart from the dive i thought Daley was very good too.

think i was slagged off for saying this before, but i think Daley should be given a run up front. he is great at going past one man and getting shot away. also we could have a proper midfielder on the right. lets be honest they were much better than us in the middle!

I really do find it amusing you calling it a negative display.

Sure it was far from perfect, but much more positive than the displays under the previous manager.

Or perhaps you preferred the insipid performances pre PT.

Said the exact same thing the other day after his criticism following the Port Vale defeat.

Definitely double standards mate.

He can have his opinions (in just a few weeks) but we couldn't have opinions of his predecessor (despite poor showing after poor showing)!

Waynus you are really are a sad individual. Try telling me which bit of my post you disagree with? Was it an attack on the manager; don't be ridiculous? Are you going to ignore the positive comments reagrding the play of Oliver, Threlfall, OB and Hanson? Are you going to ignore the"hopefuly PT will put this right?!"; of-course you are. Double standards; I think that you invented double standards Waynus.

It was a negative performance; 5 attempts on goal in 90 minutes against the 10 attempts for the away side. We defended their first corner with all 11 men in out own penalty area - we were supposed to be at home. Compare this to the home games against Crewe, Rotherham or Shrews where we created close to 15 chances per game.

It's a different way of playing and so far it is more effective. I however am not going to start talking rubbish about promotion next season just because we have a new manager so in response to Bradford 1903; I think you need to look up scathing in a dictionary (or refer to the way that you used to comment on McCall). You also need to read previous comments stating that I would rather have PT as manager over McCall because of his record; my comments are based on my view of the game; it was not exciting although if you disagree with what I say then please state why instead of just having a go at me for being a fan of McCall....

There was more than a hint of sarcasm in my post, so I wouldn't take the use of the word scathing too literally.

Granted there are some positive comments, but I can't ever remember you once criticising Stuart, yet you seem happy to do so with Taylor.

I don't expect it to be pretty under Taylor, but I believe it will be effective.

I thought the difference between this and the Crewe, Rotherham and Shrewsbury games is obvious, we won, and I'd take winning football every time.
