Looks strangely like a 4-3-3 set up to me...

I hope it works out as i reckon that the way for us to play against the lesser teams this term....

[Barmy]

Athers startin looks of it... easy day for Petta then.. :D

Jakes to come on int 2nd half and score maybe..

[Bantam Of The Opera]

1-0 Halifax another former City player scoring in Craig Midgley. I thought you were going to the game Barmy.

[Barmy]

1-1 ht, Haslam og..

Wonder if there will be many changes at half time, or wether Todd will give them a longer run out..

[tony d]

Ah haaa , Misread Crooks for Cooke.

[tony d]

1-1 OWN Goal...

[Mallorcabantam]

1-1 ht, Haslam og..--

Maybe this lad is the striker we need :)

[tony d]

Sounds Muslim to me :D :D :eek:

[Barmy]

See Jakes has come on now. Could he get a winning goal... or even just a goal..

[Barmy]

Howarth has just saved a penalty.......






yep, from Jakes..

[Mallorcabantam]

A good keeper then --- unless Athers took it :)

[Dmitry]

Now when Caddy was subsituted he can't make his late game-winning goal. Result isn't so important for me, but the win can be pleasent.

[Bantam Of The Opera]

Marc Bridge Wilkinson 2-1

[Dmitry]

I like that we win this pre-season games in dying minutes!

[Bantam Of The Opera]

Thats it then a 2-1 win, it will be quite interesting to see how we played, already the plus points are MBW scoring again and the keeper saving a penalty. All we need now is Windass and Cooke scoring and we are on to a winner this season.

[Barmy]

Marc Bridge Wilkinson 2-1
Free-kick just out side area straight int top corner i heard..

Sounds like Windass hit the bar/post a couple of times today..

yet another goal from a midfielder which is good.

[Bantam Of The Opera]

Dmitry i like any wins :D

I know the results dont count for anything, but it must help the players with morale. I just hope they can take it into the new season.

[TSSB]

Does any one know the attendance from todays match?

[Barmy]

Does any one know the attendance from todays match?
Cant find it anywhere at moment neither ont City site or Halifax site..

[tony d]

Good result... A wins a win pre season.....

I would have liked to have seen a more convincing win so far but as long as the players are getting better and used to the new faces ...

:D :D

[Barmy]

I would have liked to have seen a more convincing win so far
we're savin that for the Middlesbrough game.. :D:D

[Bantam Of The Opera]

For us Muirhead was a busy bee, Kearney was neat and tidy in midfield, and Petta looks very promising indeed. It's the first time I've seen him close up, and I was lucky enough to be sat in the stand with him playing directly infront of me. There were times when I was left scratching my head trying to work out out he went past people, running with the ball, from a standing position, it didn't matter, one minute he was stood face to face with the defender, the next he was past and on his way, no effort, no fuss, no exaggerated dropping of the shoulder, nothing noticeable whatsoever, quality.


Good stuff.

Match report on Halifax's site

[Barmy]

Sounds like it were a good game from what it says on there..

[Bantam Of The Opera]

Liam Flynn, Ryan Sugden, Craig Midgley, Peter Atherton, Wayne Jacobs and of course manager Chris Wilder all ex City players involved against us today.

[Neddy]

Very poor from city today DC and Windass can not play together.We play all our football in our own half that is because we never win the final ball in and it keeps coming back sign a targetman now.

[citygirl]

well give it a bit longer, and the team will pick itself...the difference was highly visible when he changed things at half time, cooke played well, as did bridge, and swifty.

it wasn't the best or most worked for victory, but nevertheless was a victory over the highest opposition yet...and 100% in the pre-season friendlies...

but it's still only match practice guys...not to be taken as a sign of things to come...put them in front of a DECENT crowd, and they might be very different players.

but yes, we do need a target man.

1400 odd ?? it looked like there were that many in our stand alone..and like there were more city fans, than town ones.
