Bradford City 0-1 Dagenham & Redbridge - Npower League Two
Saturday 20th August 2012 - The Coral Stadium - Attendance: 9,594 (100 Visitors)
Okay, where to start on Dagenham & Redbridge. We lost 1-0 to a scrappy first half goal scored by the Bantams great tormenter himself Jon Nurse. He loves to score against us & did again on Saturday. Our Man of the Match was centre back Luke Oliver. The lanky lad covered the full backs & saved us conceding more. Jacko outers are now out in full force, but we need to stick by him until the end of September - start of October at least. Liam Moore, on loan from Leicester also looked on top form. Also Compton, Hannah & Jones but in decent shifts but we need to improve for the Barnet game! Until then here are the Dag & Red ratings & farewell!
Martin Hansen - 4 - Slightly better than Tuesday but still looks shaky at times, and felt Branston let him down a bit in the near 2nd goal for Dagenham.
Liam Moore - 7 - Just like Oliver! But Luke just edged him out for me!
Guy Branston - 4 - Slower than a Snail this lad! All mouth, no action at times! Fantastic goal line clearance but nearly granted Dagenham a second goal.
Luke Oliver - 7 - MOTM, Fantastic Performance by the big fan, I'm one of his biggest critics! But he's slowly winning me over so far this season!
Robbie Threlfall - 5 - Set Pieces were average just like his performance, lost his cool with a small group of fans at Full Time.
Michael Bryan - 5 - Some good passing & communication with Moore, disappointed to see him subbed.
Michael Flynn - 5 - Needs to calm it down on the quick free kicks, other than that a average performance from Flynn.
Ritchie Jones - 5 - Good showing by the lad this afternoon, improved his fitness since Tuesday.
Jack Compton - 5 - Sponsors MOTM, Had a good game! Needs to work on the final delivery in training, only thing letting him down.
James Hanson - 4 - When, oh when will we learn that hoofball to the lad doesn't work! Sooner we drop him from Stewart or Rodney the better!
Ross Hannah - 5 - Good game, mass improvement from Tuesday! Exact replica of his Oxford performance minus the goal!
SUBS:
Nialle Rodney - 5 - Another decent sub appearance from the young man, how long til' he gets a start Jacko?
Mark Stewart - 5 - Worked hard after coming on, other than that just a normal sub appearance.
Chris Mitchell - 4 - Came on after mellee & took free kick, forgot he was there after.
