Bradford United 5-2 Ealandians
After a positive result on Wednesday; Bradford United were back at home hosting newly promoted Ealandians. Another 3 points were required which we got. Wasn’t 100% where we want to be but nevertheless positive progress towards for sure.
Goals win you games and luckily for us, they’re coming through in abundance. A free flowing start saw Brendan get the first of 4 as he was set free by Kas thundering Bradford into the lead. A sloppy moment saw Ealandians level shortly after having created very little. 1-1. A moment of magic saw us regain the lead as Brendan put a 25 yard free kick into top bins to close off the half. 2-1. With the hope of kicking on Bradford did the opposite as they conceded another sloppy goal bringing the half to a close at 2-2.
Team talk was simple. Be patient & the goals will come naturally but to be switched on at the back as sloppiness seemed our biggest threat. 2nd half was one way traffic. Ealandians constantly peppered by Bradford. Wave after wave, Ealandians saw it out. You wonder would it be our day. However, the pressure was just too much. With 10 to go; a flick on from Umar saw Brendan race through to get this 3rd. This pushed Ealandians out leaving more spaces for us to get the 4th & 5th. 3 crucial points.

Midweek game; A reaction needed after Saturdays disappointing result. A slight tweak in personnel & system to aid this. Reaction is what we got. Hard work, bite, energy, flair, combinations & goals; and lots of them.
At times leaving our opposition feeling hopeless. When on song, very few beat the side. Lots of positive to build on. 5/6 regular to come back. Onto Saturday were we host newcomers Ealandians.

Wortley 0-1 Bradford United
Bad day in the office for us. First half was very quiet. A cagey affair; grew into the game towards the end of the half creating 2/3 half chances yet not enough quality shown. 0-0 HT.
Message was simple: step up, both on the ball and off it. 1 goal wins this. 2nd half started the same: lacklustre. Yet mid way in the half, out of very little Umar won a pen. What followed summed our day up. Penalty firstly saved then follow up missed target altogether.
5 minutes later Wortley landed a sucker punch. Simple ball played in behind; we stopped for offside. They didn’t. Fabio made a great saves but Wortley stayed alive to tap the rebound in. Poor one to concede. But summed up our day. Lacklustre and lack of desire.
Tough one to lose but we move on with the games coming thick and fast. A long season ahead. Nothing is won in August.

Bradford United 4-1 Athletico
First game of the season. A local derby it was. Billed as the favourites; yet form and reputation goes out the window in games like these. Athletico credit to them came with a game plan: sit back, frustrate and play on the counter. They did that! 5 minutes in, Athletico couldn’t believe their luck. A set piece parried by our keeper allowing the opposition midfielder to tap into an empty net.
Nerves maybe, a wake up call for sure. Wasn’t long until our quality shone through as we grew into the game moving the ball with purpose and desire increasing confidence levels. A sensational 20 minute spell followed which would blow most teams away in the region. Firstly, Umar starting off where he left last season. Great 1-2 before twinkle toeing his way past a number of athletico defenders smashing home with his left. 1-1. Aman soon made it 2-1 with an early goal of the season contender. New signing Brendan adding 3rd and 4th against his former side.
A pleasure to watch. Second half a few chances were created where a few goals could have been added yet not to be. Game ended 4-1. Lost of positives but more importantly 3 points.
