Bantams 3 Bees 3

What a mighty strange game. Should have been three nil up at half time, but two sloppy goals, one that would have embarrassed a team of under 11's, meant we went for a pie stop only winning 3-2. The second half? Oh dear. Never got going, and if Barnet hadn't been so profligate, we could have lost 6-3, instead of getting the draw we ended up with. What surprised me most was the defending. After the mid week victory over Bury, we looked to have put the dodgy defending of previous weeks behind us, but this was by far the worst display of the season. Yes they missed chances, but the three goals we conceded were pitiful, and I for one thought the ball crossed the line for their equaliser. Just checked it out on the Virgin Media website, and it was definitely in. So two points dropped against one of the divisions strugglers. We remain third, but with tough away games coming up against Wycombe and Rotherham away, we may find ourselves out of the play off positions. I still think we play better against the stronger teams, Grimsby excepted, and with Omar back, I think we might surprise some of the harbingers of doom, who love to vent their spleens on websites and phone ins.

Baz Watch- The Renaissance continues. After Tuesdays stellar cameo, our shiny headed hero reached new heights. On from the beginning, he was our biggest attacking threat, and on 10 minutes defied gravity itself, as he hung in the air to cushion the most perfect of headers into the top corner. A goal to that would have graced any game. He continued to lead the line brilliantly, and with ten minutes of the first half remaining, he stole into the opposition penalty area, calmly chesting the ball into the path of his lethal left boot, nearly ripping the net from its moorings, to notch his second of the game. The second half was a slight let down, more so from the rest of the team, rather than our favourite Irish cart horse. Bazzas best showing by far, 9.7/10.

Pie Rating- Is there a pie that has been left untried at Valley Parade? No there has not, so this week I would like to pay homage to the Mighty Hammonds Chop Sauce. Originally brewed Shipley, it is now some what bizarrely made in Lancashire. Is it as good as HP? Probably not, but it is still made in England, unlike HP who have scadalously moved manufacturing of the world famous brown sauce to Holland. Anyway, back to the Chop Sauce. You can buy it in Morrisons at Girlington, but I haven't noticed it any other branches. Do they sell it in Tescos or Asda? How the fuck would I know! I still refuse to set foot in these empires of evil. Marks out of ten? Well if HP is the standard, I reckon Hammonds is the next best pie and/or bacon condiment. 8.5/10
