Bantams 3 Millers 0

The last home game of the season, and with any chance of the play-offs a distant memory, the Bantams turned in a winning performance for the first time in nine games. This win less steak has had everybody guessing as to whether Stuart McCall will still be manager next season, after he vowed to resign if we did not make the top seven. Pre-match there was a warm reception for him, and a couple of banners pleading with him to stay. We should find out after next weeks finale away to Chesterfield. So on to the game. Our opponents wold be ahead of us in the table , were it not for a 17 point deduction, and after recent showings, I for one, expected the worst. But I should have known, after years of putting up with City, that now that there is nothing to play for, they would play like they had during the halcyon days at the begining of the season. Clarke was dropped, and Rehaman finally given an opportunity to play in his preferred centre half position again. His performance was in marked contrast to his fish out of water routine at right back. Law and Furman ran the middle of the park, and Jones gave plenty of options out wide. Thorney finally got back to scoring ways, bagging a brace in the first half, that really should have been at least a hat trick, if not four. The problem is, of the five players just mentioned, four are on loan, and our top scorer is out of contract from next Saturday.

The second half continued much the same. Rotherham created the odd chance, but looked like a team who had given up on the season. Bar the goal keeper, who single handily prevented a cricket score. He was only beaten once more, by the excellent Jones, and all that was left was for the local teenage population to stage a pitch invasion. I will reserve my season summary for the day after the season officially ends. One last piece of gossip, from a fairly reliable source, has Windass being lined up to play out his final season as a pro in the Claret and Amber. Something I am not to sure about.....

Kev Watch- A big fat zero for the first half, as he sat two rows back with Shouty, but he came good in the second half, and both him and the Shoutster proved excellent value. It will be a shame next season to be without the Right Honourable, who has had to sacrifice his season ticket due to the recession. El Grande Queso and Helmet have both stepped up to fill the void. Back to the boy Crespo Combining the two halves, I will give him a season ending 10/10. I had to. He gave me a lift..

Pie Rating- Chicken Balti. I don't get it. Bloody Awful. 2/10.
