    Seemed odd seeing VP with that many empty seats and just shows how disgruntled your fans are. If you're right on your guess of the attendance, that means around 10,000 ST-holders have said Fk-it and stayed at home. Shame to see such a big, well supported club in the shape you're in atm. That being said - doesn't say much for our lot though either, getting beaten at home by you :rofl:

    Got a feeling we'll be seeing you again next season, so hopefully for you, GA will get the boot and you'll get someone decent in....and give us another hard time.

    Yep, I'd honestly rather stay at home than waste a Tuesday night going to VP atm. I still can't believe we beat you, and seems you haven't recovered from that result with a few dodgy results since :laugh:

    I still think you'll go up automatically, although looking at the fixtures it could be a tricky finish.... it will be sickening to see MK going up when we all wanted Williamson, yet went and got the manager they had sacked.... :slap:

    Graham Alexander probably won’t last long at Bradford .

    Another defeat for them and down to 17th.

    The difference it makes in the EFL with having the leeway of being able to lose a few games is unreal! Most Wxm fans will agree, we've not been anywhere near our best - for various reaons - but unbelievably, we're still right up there in the mix.

    Last year in the NL in our chase with Notts - a DRAW was a disaster towards the end of the season. We've been crap lately...but yet we're still up there for auto promotion!

    Really is time, to have a uniform amount of Up & Down promotion places across ALL the leagues - and with the National League in effect being 'Division 3' - if or very likely when you drop in there, it's not any different to getting out of it, as in the rest of the leagues!

    I think there's very little difference in the abilities of the majority of L2 teams this season. In almost any given match, either team can take all three points.

    Exactly this. Ridiculous as this may seem given where we are in the table but we've actually beaten four of the current top eight. It was always going to be a tougher league this year than last and I don't see it being much easier next year, regardless of who goes up.

    You could've waited until we'd played our game against you :fail:

    Every game we've got in the run-in, is against teams withe everything to play for - except Donny (which also could mean you can just enjoy the game, with no pressure at all!)

    Not if you’re to believe some of the fan base :laugh: ‘if we beat Crawley and then we have two games in hand on some teams we’ll be right up there’ I appreciate the optimism but we won’t be chasing the play offs this year

    I’m away for your visit unfortunately!

    God I can't wait for this season to end.

    A planned protest at tomorrow's game, and suddenly our silent owner has issued a letter to the fans promising the world. Must be very worried about season ticket sales.

    Do you ever listen to the Hard Truth podcast with Bantams fan Philip Ideson & the gobshite that owns Posh ?

    Last week's episode was mostly about Bradford City & it's continual stagnation & our gobshite actually came out with a decent scenario regarding your massive fanbase all chipping in a minimum of £500 each & others who could / can afford more to buy the club off the German for his £10 million he roughly wants for it .

    For a non business person like myself I thought it was an interesting listen .

    This season is & was the 1st season I've not backed you guys for promotion in one way or the other , a good call on my behalf .

    I felt that but looking at the table right now, 8 points off the play offs with 2 games in hand and were the form team. You never know. ;)

    Great run considering we were worried of relegation 2 month ago.

    Doing my best to not get excited but that is an unreal win :laugh:

    Richard Wood has turned it around massively, he’s been absolutely immense. Adelakun with another brilliant goal. Thought we were done for when Biamou missed his sitter but certainly made up for it!

    Not as worried as I am about how much we need to win on Monday. Any breathing space we had has pretty well disappeared in two games.

    Realistically, I'd say you've got to win six of your remaining seven games to have any sort of chance but it's certainly possible given the number of sides in contention for seventh place and the likelihood of them all taking points off each other. Either way, great momentum to take into next season.

    I’ve listened to a few but not for a while so not heard that one. I don’t think we’d be able to raise the funds needed to be honest. Good call on the bet, I’d advise doing the same again next year lol.


    Before yesterday I’d have said you’d beat us, but we played well and I actually enjoyed the game for once. I think there’ll be goals, a 2-2 kind of game. You have some easy (ish) games in your run in so I’m sure you’ll avoid the drop.

    Just had a quick mooch on your forum, someone saying that 'Jay' should start to combat our 'infamous long throw that characterizes us'....
    Well that infamous long throw is chucked in by Tozer - who's been out of favour for quite some time, so is very unlikely to play anyway....and also someone mentioned that most of our fans think it'll be an easy win for Wxm, Again I can also tell you, that's deffo NOT the case, and given our shite away form, (plus your recent form and still having an outside chance of the PO's) I wouldn't be at all suprised to see you win this one. The majority I spoke to after our game on Friday would be happy with a point...

    Was this on the vsc forum ? I’d ignore that, it’s 90% bootlicking morons other than @DonnyOsmond of course

    Feel like this will be one game too far for us, you are in good form too so it’s a tough one to call. But I fancy a 0-2

    Been off grid for the majority of the weekend...to see the Newport score from Friday...wowzers, didn't see that one coming. Still a slim chance at making the playoffs right?

    We certainly carry a goal threat but my soul is already prepared for Andy Cook to haunt us.
