Bantams 3 Robins 1

Sorry about the delay in posting Saturdays match report, but I, and everybody else who was at Valley Parade, has just about come down off cloud nine after the most surprising off displays. Even when the lads went one down early on, you could see the team was vastly more confident than the last few games we had watched. Hell, I saw more shots in five minutes from the boys in mustard than I had seem all season. All over the pitch the side looked solid, and in the first half Daley was running them ragged. It was only a matter of time before parity was restored, and some tenacious tackling from O'brien set up Syers for the equaliser. At the outset of the second half new loanee Jason Price replaced the injured Daley, and proved to be an excellent change. After weeks of watching the head less chicken cross country running of Gareth Evans it was most refreshing to see a player who used intelligence and wit to run the attack. And it was the Afro headed hit man who set up Lee Hendrie to open his Bantams account with an over head kick. Still the lads flew forward, and only a couple hair line off side decisions kept the score to one. But this was a day of firsts, and instead of retreating into a defensive shell for the last five or so minutes, there by causing palpitations in the crowd, we continued to attack, and Hansen made sure with a low drive. Will the boys keep us on cloud nine? A tricky away game at Burton lies ahead, but if we can some how keep Price, and avoid injuries it is looking a lot more promising than it did a month ago.
