Unlucky lads

From the commentary it sounded like we were the better of two good teams with the Millers having the lions share of the chances. A setback but another decent display AND despite losing we've gone up one place in the table. Back to winning ways v Oldham hopefully.

The stats have us way ahead on attempts on goal but it seems we were undone yet again by an unchallenged header. Shame the winning run came to an end but we will surely bounce back against Oldham. Onwards and upwards.

A tight game, a draw would probably have been fair. To go away to a good Bradford side and be competitive is a sign of improvement. On we go, and back to winning ways next week.

Been today. Could have had a point but Bradford had that bit more nous. Confirmed to me that our defence, particularly with Wood in it, is not strong enough to make us any better than a lower top half side.

How did Rodak play Splinter and did he have any saves to make? Who would you play at CB - I thought Wood had brought a bit of stability after Ajayi's errors. Perhaps it's worth giving Ajayi another chance, particularly with a new keeper who might give him a bit more confidence?

Wood is dependable. He will head it and kick it and shout a lot. All qualities in a League One centre half. The flip side is that he isn't particularly mobile and if he has quick forwards running him his lack of pace can get exposed.

Ajayi is quicker, more mobile and better on the ball but is not as rugged, is inexperienced and is prone to the odd mistake. Unfortunately his mistakes have a habit of costing us goals.

Take your pick.

Personally I think that Ajayi needed a rest and it was the right decision to get Wood back in. At least we know what we are going to get from him and can build on that. Sloppy 'gift' goals conceded just knock the stuffing out of a side.

Glenn. Rodak has movement and has great potential despite being a bit punchy but he does punch cleanly. Not our player though ! I'd bring Ajayi back to gain experience and learn from his mistakes. Hoping the Brentford lad has something to offer as I'm not totally happy with any of the centre halves. Told at the game we're still trying to do something with George Hirst.

listening to the match on the radio. a couple of things are needed to be sorted
1) a defensive coach as we seem to be struggling at set pieces

2) warne never mind watching a prospective new strikier get him signed now as jch as a backup for moore and da ball is a disaster waiting to happen
