First up the Bantams, who are in an awful run of defeats away from Valley Parade. The last three performances were poor, but City still managed to hold on to a play off place. Until this weekend. Apparently, I was not willing to take a 700 mile round trip based on recent showings, the game against Exeter was a big improvement, but a fluke cross/shot deflected off the back of Arnistons head and flew into the net over Evans for the only score of the game. According to the match reports I have read we had chances to level the score, and even win, but they were all scorned. At least none of them were missed by Big Baz, but that was down to an unmentioned misdemeanour of the previous night One rumour has him engaging in a bout of fistie cuffs with our big centre half Clarke, who was also dropped on disciplinary grounds, another has them both out on the lash on an evening prior to the game. McCall has said he has dealt with the matter in house, but it will be interesting to see if the burly Irishman is given the start against Bournemouth tomorrow, especially seeing how Peter Thorne is out with a neck injury. If he doesn't get the start, and I think Jones will get the nod over him, it makes you wonder if he has played his last game in the Claret and Amber. Whatever the outcome, I fear we may be heading back up north without any points.
Der Lowen didn't lose, but were held at home to a 1:1 draw against relegation threatened FSV Frankfurt. After a resurgence under their new manager, it was a bit of downer, and leaves them stuck nine points off a promotion place. Next up is SpVgg Greuther Fürth, the team currently occupying third place, away from home. The result of this game will more than likely determine weather or not 1860 can push on and press for a top three finish. Fingers crossed.
| 1860 München |  | 1 : 1 |  | FSV Frankfurt |
