So we have been playing like champions when the pressure if off, now the pressure if well and truly back on with a win needed to take it to the last day will we go back to bottle it mode?
Barrow and Newport are on current form the two worse teams in the league, and we play them both.
I can't believe we are even here with a chance, this is one of the worst Bradford teams, led by a boardroom who would struggle to tie their own shoelaces but here we are.
It has the making of the Crewe game last year, high hopes going into it with a crushing result on the end. I hope I am wrong but if we even end up in the play offs it just shows what a shit pool of a league we are in.

GA and the side have to go for the win, a draw would be the same a loss with our goal difference.
We have to at least go down fighting and not set up to not lose - but I fear it'll be more the latter. It's like the second half at Millwall in 2016, we have to go at them.
We can't go behind in the first 15 minutes again, we're the worst side in the league for it and we can't coming back to win every time.
It's madness, we're still in with a chance just becuse this game has been postponed twice and we've had a huge swing in terms of results going our way over the last few weeks. 5/6 going our way on Saturday (all 6 were going our way later into the second halves) was crazy.
It's also weird Barrow and Newport are 23rd and 24th in the form table over the last 6.
Expectation - 1-1, too little too late.

I fear to have any chance we need to win and win by a few goals. Donny put 4 past them on Saturday, Gillingham have recently beaten them by 3, Swindon managed a 2-0 win. They should be fearing us and setting up not to lose, not like you say what will probably be the other way round.
Beating them by 3 goals puts them in a world of shit as it brings the goal difference down to 4 and us to +1. Meaning that even if they draw the last game they have to hope we don't win, anything less and we aren't bridging that gap if they draw we just have to hope they lose.
We might aswell die trying at this stage.
A draw is pointless, as Donny aren't losing 2 on the bounce after winning 10 in a row, after tonight Donny are probably going to be sat firmly in the play offs at worse with a spot all but guaranteed. It's Barrow and Crawley that are there for the taking.

It's a free hit after a shit season, what have we got to lose? So obviously we'll set up for their low or high crosses, maybe play Sam Walker as a holding midfielder with Oyegoke as archbishop of Durham.

It's not happening, there's no way Donny don't get in and no way Barrow and Crawley don't get the points required. All their games on Saturday are against teams with nothing to play for.

Stinks of an easy 3-0 Barrow win. Actually want us to lose. Can't stomach Sparks crawling out of Rupp's sex dungeon to gloat.

There is no way City end up in the play offs.
All the results could go City's way, they'd still blow it.

Kavanaugh worth every penny, we've needed aggression like this all season.

Amazing having a player who can actually shoot a ball.

Surely our best first half performance of the season?

Surely our best first half performance of the season? only criticism is it should be more, Barrow have the look of a team feeling the pressure of being chased, get another they’ll capitulate

Should have had more in the first half, they hang on, reshuffle at half time and score. Of course. And what a moment to let in a goal like that.

It's like I said at the start of this thread, it feels like Millwall away in the 2016 play off. 15 minutes left and we're just holding steady, first sub on 77 mins.
If anything we'll start to go for it and get sucker punched at the death.

The sheer shithousery of making a double sub, then making another double sub to take them both off again after less than 10 mins
Do you think the just didn’t change the numbers on the board to save time?
