Reserves V Bradford 27/10/07

Tue Nov 27, 2007 7:16 pm

Watched the reserves at Tamworth this afternoon, I am pretty sure Leamore was not there, so if he doesn't mind me using his format, and you are interested in a sketchy report here it is

Walsall 5 Bradford City 2

Team :-
Bertrand Bossu

Richard Taundry

Hassan Bacchus(Dexter Ravenhill 65 mins?)

Charlton Davis

Manny Smith

Tom Schwarz

Richard Davies

Alex Nicholls

Troy Deeney

David McDermott (Andrew Bentley 45mins)

Netan Sansara

Subs:-

Dexter Ravenhill

Alan Wilkes

Dan Schwarz

Andrew Bentley

Edward Ryan

Goals:-(All times approximate)

15 mins Hassan Bacchus with a fierce drive from just outside the area after a good move on the left

35 mins David McDermott picked up the ball in midfield and ran towards the area. His speculative drive was deflected and the keeper was already committed

40 mins A cross come shot from Netan Sansara was only touched by the keeper, leaving Troy Deeney with a tap in

60 mins Bradford scored fom a penalty following a dreadful back pass which left Bossu stranded

70 mins Bradford scored a very good goal with a fierce shot from just outside the area which gave Bossu no chance

75 mins Dexter Ravenhill scored from close in after good work by Deeney

80 mins A cross from the left (scource unknown) completely deceived the Bradford keeper and went in at the far post

A very entertaining game as the scoreline suggests. Walsall completely dominated the first half and Bossu only had to make one save. After the interval Bradford were a very different side and deserved their two goals, but once Walsall re-established supremacy with the fourth goal they were not in it again.

Players who stood out, Nichols who had a very good game, Bacchus, all of the defence. I have yet to be convinced about Deeney, he does a lot of running but was regularly caught offside, and seemed slow to react when chances arose.

Attendance:- About 50, including Dicky Dosh who sat in the stand and Geoff Bonser

3 Assists from Sansara playing wide left rather than full back

The OS credits Deeney with a header for the fifth.

Think Exy is refering to the thread title saying it was 27th October rather than November, so not a pop at you NSS. :wink:

NSS is ever so touchy lately. DD's rants at him and others behind the dugout for being negative must be hitting a nerve. They've been found out. ;)
