I enjoyed the game today. We were in third gear but played some good stuff at times. Opposition obviously not the strongest but largely about fitness and getting used to new tactics at this point.
Some observations from me:
- Iorpenda looked composed and def has something about him - Koroma looked sharp and first goal was quality. I hope he stays - Sorenson will be a fans fave - always shouting, always demanding the ball. Great engine and looks like a player who would run through a brick wall for the club - Headley looked a threat. As a wing-back, he could do well. On the flip-side, Jackson didn’t do much - either way, hopefully he finds the right next step for him as seems like a nice lad. - Wiles - seems like a good guy and can’t remember a player I have wanted so much to be a success. He looks fit and strong, and took goal very well but indifferent for most of the half. Whether it is confidence or not, he seems to struggle to find space so can be out of the game for large spells. - Balker - bit rusty but rapid and some of his passing is top quality. One 60 yard pass to Jones was outstanding. - Guiseley need to order more pies - run out before half-time!
Good workout and nice to see Duffs preferred style of play. Looking forward to seeing Kane and Evans in action as we do need more in the middle of the park.

Biggest concern for me is Nicholls not being involved again, is he on his way? I'd say it's a sign he is

To be fair to Bradford City, they battened down the hatches, re-grouped at half time, came out fighting & managed to hold on to a 2-0 defeat at Chorley.

Must have been touch and go..😉

Had to settle for mars bar and then popped in to the toilet on way back to seat…only to miss Healey’s goal! 😩

Sorenson - agree - "I'm coming Joshy I'm coming" and then realising what he'd shouted and having a little chuckle about it was funny. He got one hell of a physical challenge from their number 3 who pretty much fouled him and tried to kick or elbow him every time they came together until he was eventually booked - but carried on calling for the ball every time. Wiles - looked really good for 5-10 mins and then just seemed to be running in treacle and deciding nothing was going to come off for him. I thought both Headley and Jackson were poor...Headley had the advantage of a very composed Balker feeding him so was involved quite a bit, I can't see how either will play more than a handful of games ahead of the other options we have. Pat Jones looked on it too...probably did more than Thomas did in his 45. Healey looks like he's going to score an absolute hat-full if he remains fit, Radulovich I'm not sure, just seems a bit shit but then he occasionally has very nice movement and technique. Danny Ward continued to demonstrate why he shouldn't be here...getting into positions and having nothing like the quality or composure that should be a given. Liked Iorpenda too...its going to be difficult to get into that midfield, he might be relying on injury or suspension, but would have no qualms about him starting a League 1 game.

Saving him for a proper game. He'll probably start at Harrogate unless we are selling him. I was talking to a friend of his in Manchester Airport last August and he said Nichols thought he was better than us and he was surprised he hadn't left yet. Wouldn't be surprised to see him go. If he does I'd hope that we sign a replacement as Maxwell isn’t good enough. Wonder how many other people think he is better than us. I certainly don't. One good season doesn't make him a great keeper.

Sadford are bab - end of......been bab for years and will continue to play in a bab league as they are bab. In fact they had a player called Babb who played for them I seem to remember.....aptly named !

Liked Iorpenda too.. .its going to be difficult to get into that midfield, he might be relying on injury or suspension, but would have no qualms about him starting a League 1 game. Is it? A 3 man centre of midfield, Kasumu, Evans and Kane are probably the starting 3 if everyone is available, and Hogg is the natural cover for Kasumu, but Kane and Evans aren't going to play every minute of every game in a 51 match season. I don't think you'd expect him to be a first team regular, but dipping in and out of the side seems a reasonable aim. Depends who else we sign but I expect he'll get a fair few minutes this season.

You must have been watching a different game to me if you thought Headley was poor. I think he is made for that LWB position. Attacking wise he is very good, got into good positions and was always threatening. Didn't see him do much wrong at all.

(I seem to vaguely remember these figures and something or other called Pie in Arithmetic as High School fourty years or so ago) !

In fact they had a player called Babb who played for them I seem to remember.....aptly named ! One of the best players in their history was Babb. I think his name was Phil Babb , he was a really nice guy, he used to join in our kickabouts in Mirfield park many years ago. I think Bradford City were in the 4th division at that time, but Babbs feet were soooo quick.

Phil Babb was an established Prem defender throughout all of the 90s, for Coventry and Liverpool.

If he's not a LWB, what is he? I thought he had a decent game, but he wasn't tested defensively (unsurprisingly because of the level of the opposition) and I do still think he's more of a winger than a wing back. However, in the 3-5-2 formation that Duff prefers to use, the wing-backs have to be attacking players with some ability to defend. I thing Headley can do this, but I think a naturally left sided centre-back beside him would be helpful.

Besides, neither post was said in a particular snotty way, whilst I wouldn't have even brought it up if it wasn't for context. You can't say anything. I think I'll go back to reading as I really can't be arsed with the daft debates you get in.
