I came away happy with a point but very disappointed by our second half performance.
From Freddyās disallowed goal in the 2nd minute to Carey hitting the post in the 44th we looked most likely to score and with Edwards completely dominant at the back , very comfortable in defence.
Whereas in the first half Fox was picking up all the second balls and Sarcevic was probing, the second half was totally opposite. I was looking forward to seeing Carey kick on after scoring last week but not much came off and whilst there was lots of effort there was also lots of falling over when it was clear the ref was giving him nothing.
Equally Lameiras was repeatedly giving the ball away in our own half. I felt sorry for Ladapo who struggled manfully up front when there was no green shirt within 25 yards of him. However, my sympathy soon went with every shooting opportunity he refused to take on. If heās not scoring then Taylor really is the better option to get us playing further up the field.
Also Oscar definitely looked like an upgrade on Smith-Brown at right back.
Seemed like Bradford must have had 70% possession in the second half and really should have scored four or five. Apart from Canavanās block and Letheren s superb save they hit the post and missed at least one sitter.
Good numbers from GA. I sat near a family of Scousers but couldnāt work out whether they were there with Conor Grant or Edwards.
Pretty much as I saw it. Most definitely I would start with Oscar next match. Much more energy when he arrived. Smith-Brown, in recent games, has become very wary of crossing.
Interestingly, chatting to some Bradford fans on the train, they were impressed with Edwards and would definitely swap him for O'Connor. I think, playing like that, they will escape as, of course, I believe we will.
