    Two wins, two clean sheets, six goals scored. The more the players get used to the style of play, the better we will become.
    Well done lads.

    League winners, 100 plus points and 90 plus goals shows no sign of slowing down.

    Enjoyed today. And Valley Parade was a great day out with decent fans. Real family feel to the place with loads of kids and families in their Kop stand.

    Guy I went with said we were far better than any team from last year and really stood out for a L1 team. which was good to know. Thought we started like a train again, but still have a few areas to improve on which is equally nice as we can still get better.

    Crossing was really poor today. Except Cavare for Bradders goal. Dougall and Mowatt ran the game. But I’ll take my hat off to Bradshaw. Worked his knackers off. I’m not his biggest fan but he seems to really buy into Stendels way of playing.

    Victor impressed me again. Not just for getting in for the goal, but for his strength and hold up play. Didn’t realise he was going to be so good so quickly. They couldn’t get him off the ball.

    George Moncur looked like Gazza when he came on. They couldn’t get near him. Lost count of the number of times he beat 3 or 4 men with the ball glued to his feet. Couple of times thought he was going to bend it into the top corner but he blasted it high and wide.

    Overall a very solid win with room to improve.

    I've just been scanning through the posts on the Bradford forum and they are very complimentary about us, just as the Oxford fans were last week.

    It's so refreshing to see the term 'teams like Barnsley' being used in a positive way rather than as a pejorative.

    but seriously its wonderful.... hope it long continues. Do not wanna tempt fate , just been having a chat with TinaTyke on facebook... next up are Wimbledon ,. We should have no troubles with them given the way we have begun ... however the 'lady' that is called Football is such a callous bitch that she could well chuck a Banana skin our way..... Right now I am adopting an attitude like the chasers on ' The Chase'
    ..... take nothing for granted. I think the lad called PEP over the border had that attitude... it did them no harm innit.

    I'm taking nothing for granted, simply enjoying it while it lasts.

    I'm reserving my vituperative posts for when we discuss Leeds and the two Sheffield giants.

    Yeah, me too, consensus on there and from people we were talking to that we put in the best performance they've seen for nearly two years.

    If only we could cross (Cavare honourably excepted!) and take set pieces :D

    There's no chickens being counted here. We do appear to have the measure of this division but we will lose at some point.
    Somewhere along the line a team will have worked out our flaws and devised a way to counter the gegenpress (sp) hopefully the boss can change it up and make the neccessary alterations to keep us on track

    Assuming we need to.

    Think this confirms this poster isn’t a QPR fan but a Tarn fan on wind up.

    Odd from a QPR fan.....?

    Wonder which normal poster (as that post is quite upbeat) has a split personality and chooses to be a ***** for kicks?
