Bradford City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Did anybody have a decent curry?

Yes. I also drank in a pub whose owner claimed his parents were the oldest married couple in the world (aged 107 and 100 respectively).

He must have been pretty old himself.

That pub you recommended was great.  Had a good craiq with the Bradford fans in there after the game.  Some of which will be using the Bartons for the 2nd leg.

Found out today the best curry house in Bradford is supposedly Muntaz albeit there's loads of good ones.
Muntaz is where the Queen ate though earlier this year.

That really is the way it should be. Sounds so much better than expressing your anger by holding a lighter up in the air.

Or smashing a toilet in.

On the way there in the car, we saw the team news and one of the first things i said to the lads  was that the centre midfield looked a bit lightweight. He should'nt have gone into that game with just Bannan and Delph in the middle. I'd have definatley thrown another midfielder in there. It did'nt need 4 attacking players, he got it so wrong.

When we pulled it back to 2-1, i'd have took N'Zogbia off and put on someone like Ireland just to take the sting out the game and keep it a bit tighter in the middle. Sometime Lambert's tactical awareness is a bit lacking.

We never do things the easy way do we.

Take off nzogbia and bring on Ireland , are you for real? Ireland is a waster and nzogbia was our best player by far last night.

Yes, i am for real Eastie, it's just an opinion if you don't mind. I'm talking for the last 8 minutes of the game just after we scored our goal just to tighten the midfield a bit. Bearing in mind we let another one in after that, maybe we should have.

  I don't think that PL had much option in midfield tbh Clampy, maybe Holman , but thats about it.Ireland, for all his ability, is a wate of space.

[Apyadg]

For all the skill he occasionally decides he can be arsed to show on the ball, I don't think I've ever seen Ireland look like he's going to 'tighten the midfield a bit'. Maybe I've not been paying enough attention, but he either seems to be picking out a good attacking pass, or taking a relaxing stroll around the pitch.

[eastie]

I thought at 2-1 down we looked the most likely to score again but our shocking defending at corners once more let us down.

Was very unhappy with benteke losing his man yet again and allowing him a free header to score their 3 rd and baker was shocking for the 2nd , really sloppy defending .

The miss by benteke with a free header 6 yards out early on was also a shocker as was bents sitter , a really sloppy night all in all.

Holman would have been in my line up to start the game but he was'nt even on the bench which was a shame. I only suggested Ireland because he was the only midfielder on the bench.

[Flamingo Lane]

Did anybody see the two young Muslim women by the corner flag giving out absolute dogs abuse every time our players came near them.It looked quite surreal

Saw them on the tele, yes.  The highlight of the evening by far.

Was Given laughing as the second went in or was that my eyes deceiving me ?

More a grimace I think, could Delph have done better on the line with the 3rd goal?
