Phillips - 8, commanding and confident and pulled of some really smart saves. Chicksen - 7 really impressive, calm and confident Bauer - 7 generally solid, distribution sometimes a little suspect. Konsa - 7 really impressed by this prospect Crofts - 7 led by example, helped charlton boss midfield in first half, Ulvestad- partnered Crofts well in midfield Betake- 7 showed a couple of moments of unbelievable skill, energy and pace to burn. Ajose - 7 faded in second half but linked well with Magennis Magennis - 8 MOTM stunning first half, best player on the pitch. Defended corners well. Deserved a goal Novak - 6 worked really hard and made one of the best and cleanest sliding tackles of the day(!) Texteira- 6 needs match sharpness but dealt comfortably with Bradford's pacy attack Jackson n/a
Really encouraged and shame we didn't come away with a win.
Phillips - 7.5 solid, needs to be more commanding and claim balls Chicksen - 8 Really impressed with him today. Dealt with Marshall at every turn. Bauer - 8 not holding the sending off against him. Never a yellow for his first. A foul on him if anything. Konsa - 7.5 this boy is the business. Crofts - 6.5 Ulvestad- 6 we need more from him Botaka- 6.5 offers no support to his teammates and drifts inside too much leaving the full back exposed Ajose - 6 poor after a good start. Slows us down on the counter Magennis - 8.5 so unlucky not to have at least one goal. They couldn't deal with him. Novak - 7.5 great shift. Deserves to start. Stepped up at CB and even fullback too Texteira- 8 welcome back Tex
Phillips - 8 couple of good saves, one blinding when a Bradford player through on goal. Claimed every cross. Chicksen -7.5 really impressed. Knows how to time a tackle and dealt with Marshall who was probably their best player. Bauer - 7 definite double booking, solid. Looked like he was carrying a knock after treatment. Konsa - 7 Bit of a shaky start but grew with the game Crofts - 6.5 solid. Ulvestad- 6 bit anymonous Botaka- 7.5 lovely couple of touches. Tracked back well Ajose - 6 nothing really came off today Magennis - 8 some blinding touches often let down by final ball Novak - 7 thought he had a good game and covered admirably at centre back when Bauer was off. Texteira- 7 tidy at the back, couple of lovely balls forward Jackson n/a
Phillips - 8 He produced a couple of game-saving saves. Very assured on crosses. Chicksen - 8.5 MoM performance. Excellent tackles and good positioning. Bauer - 7 Strong in headers but also a few too many misplaced passes. Konsa - 6.5 Much better 2nd half. At times a bit pedestrian. Crofts - 6.5 If only he could pick out a killer forward pass… Ulvestad - 5.5 Didn't really notice him until half way through the 2nd half. Botaka - 7 Far better when attacking than defending. Wish he wouldn't try fancy Dan step-overs and tricks in his own half. Ajose - 6 Frustrating that he was often not up with the play when attacking. Inconsistent on corners. Magennis - 8 A bloody good player. Frightened their defence but really should have scored when shot blocked with most of the goal to aim at. Novak - 7 Worked hard and some good interplay with Josh. Blowing out of his arse last 20 minutes, so probably relieved he ended up in defence. Texeira - 7 A fair number of wayward headers and clearances just after he came on but you could see him grow in confidence as the game wore on.
Overall a good 0-0 considering players missing and losing Pearce so early in the game. Enjoyable and encouraging.
Phillips - 7 saved two clear cut chances from Bradford Chicksen - 7 Bauer - 7 Konsa - 6 was found out a bit at RB, was better 2nd half Crofts - 6 looked out of energy after 50 mins Ulvestad- 6 Botaka- 6 can see why Slade was apprehensive to start him Ajose - 6 Magennis - 7 worked hard but can see why he's playing in League 1, he missed two clear cut chances. Novak - 7 put in a shift today Texteira - 7 solid
Phillips - 8 good distribution & made some good saves. Commands the area incredibly well. hasn't given kr a reason for Rudd. Chicksen - 8.5 would have liked to see him get forward more in second half, as seems to have a cracking left foot, but so solid defensively. Bauer - 8 solid and quick. good we'll have him back in the league. Konsa - 7 Crofts - 7.5 thought he was good 1st half, bit anon second Ulvestad- 6 didn't offer much Botaka- 6.5 few tricks didn't work out, should be more direct Ajose - 5 offered little Magennis - 9 MOM - got tired second half, but was a beast first half Novak -7.5 worked hard Texteira- 8 slotted in really well considering how little football he's had.
Great day out - the only good thing about Bradford's pubs was the £1.60 a pint near the train station at the end to finish the day off - apart from that they were awful & no beer in the ground.

He did pass it about a bit nicely first half but doesn't work hard enough for me. Magennis - 8.5 - Superb 1st half and bullied Bradford. Faded 2nd half but largely because the pattern of play wasn't in his favour. MOM. Novak - 7.5 Teixeira - 8 Jackson n/a

Which pubs did you go to. I went to the Sparrow, The Beer House, the Bradford Brewery and The New Beehive. All had a good selection of ales in good condition and staff and customers friendly.

A solid but unspectacular performance, they did give Bradford 3 clear cut opportunities to score which they blew, but we also had two clear cut opportunities too.
Philips pulled off a couple of good saves and was my mom.
