Last Nights Matches...

[Mick]

Apparently five sent off in the dressing room after the game, 3 Bradford and 2 Creepy, I believe MacFadzean and Davies.

Looking at the vid got to be for violent conduct so three matches all round I would have thought. :thumbsup:

Incidentally Creepy had also managed to pick up 6 yellows to Bradford's 0 during the game....... :whistling:

One of Bradford's subs was cautioned. But a caution ratio of 1:6 when both teams committed 16 fouls is unusual. Homer Williamson at his best; shame he couldn't get the result right.

Typical Claude Davis...I've lost count about how many times he has got into trouble, especially when he was at Crystal Palace. A complete liability in my eyes!

 

[PrawNZ]

We play Bradford soon so 3 players out would be handy

Gillingham losing makes it look as though Crewe Alex are the only realistic threat to our Play-Off confirmation!!

but you might say that 'we' are the only realistic threat our chances!

When will the suspensions be announced Mick?

If they are straight reds then they should take effect immediately, but I guess they can be appealed.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

5 sent off were Bradford's Andrew Davies, Luke Oliver and Jon McLaughlin, and Crawley's Kyle McFadzean and Claude Davis.

Should be 3 match bans for all of them, except Davies who's been sent off twice already this season, so should serve a 5 match ban.

Bradford's 3 are their keeper and both CB's.

Quote from Plankinson - Crawley have an intimidating type of play and you have to make sure you don't get involved. Now both clubs will have to pay a heavy price. The repurcussions for us are immense, but you cannot lose your discipline.

Going by that quote he is accepting the situation and both teams are in the wrong.

 

[Gremlin]

Watch Crawley's no.4. He gets a few good digs in.

Unbelievable we should be optimistic because Bradford and Crawley might have suspensions. We should be focused on what we do and focusing more on our team should have down. If we go up through mainly the downfalls of others what does that make us?

You take the luck where you get it. If we cross the line after someone's downfall so be it. That's football.

Perhaps he's been having Bilel style anger management classes..... :winking:

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Probably just as well Bil didnt join Crawley then. He wouldve flattened them all last night, probably his own teammates too!

Bilel would probably be facing a murder charge had he got involved in that.

Sadly at this point just focusing on what we do is not enough, we need others to slip up now and any help they give us is very welcome.

A League One club?

It is one of the ironies of football discipline that if players get sent off very late in the game, it's not the opposition who benefit but that team's next opponents. Of course we will fancy our chances more playing a Bradford team without the heart of its defence, rather than with it.

Bradford: McLaughlin & Oliver get three match bans, Davies gets a five match ban.

Creepy: Davies get's a four match ban, and Mills (Not McFadzen (sp?)) gets a three match ban.

Blimey, you don't see many proper brawls like that in football these days where they actually throw punches. Certainly wouldn't get that in the Premiership. Shame that no one lumped Evans. No surprise that Crawley got 6 bookings during the game and Bradford got 0.
