Ritchie Jones benefits from game-time for Bradford City Reserves

Ritchie Jones completing 90 minutes for the first time this season was the highlight of Bradford City’s 7-0 Central League defeat at Mansfield Town tonight.

Nick Wright (3), Ben Hutchinson (2), Chris Clements and Luke Jones got the goals against a young Bantams outfit.

It was only the second this season for City’s Jones after he started in last week’s Johnstone’s Paint Trophy win at Hartlepool United.

Fellow first-team squad members Adam Baker, who hit the bar late on, and Carl McHugh were also in the visitors’ line-up but Bantams keeper Stuart Morrison caught the eye with some fine saves.

We don't - any we do have is always snapped up by a PL club. In the last 10 years weve had Joe Colbeck and Luke OB come through and hold down and first team place and thats it.

It may be a one off result but a heavy reserve defeat to a non league side raises issues about our strength in depth and level of quality we're producing.

Ritchie Jones was the highlight in a 7 - 0 thrashing?
How the hell can there be any 'highlights'??

Well I suppose that in every Managers words whenever they attempt to cover up a poor performance "you have to look at the positives"

Strength in depth my ****!
