Meh - nothing like a first choice side, opening game of pre-season against a side playing their third game in 8 days, an injury list meaning Jakes, the physio and Wethers got the last 15 minutes.

Hardly cause for major panic, but then again that's City's OMB users for you. I'm surprised there isn't a "McCall Out" campaign going yet.

As I said on there, (can't believe I'm actually registered!) the fact that Jakes and Wethers (and our physio!) were on the bench suggests that it was an exercise in match fitness rather than performance, which wasn't exactly rocket science to begin with. None of the players got through the 90 as they've obviously been worked hard in training and it's the first game.

That was too rational an explanation for them to handle though.

Have the OMB knee-jerkers made us favourites to go through the season unbeaten now then seeing as we won on Saturday?

Well Paul McLaren is gods own gift to football now. But it's certainly calmed a few people down to say the least!

Shrewsbury are now seen as 7-1 favourites with some bookmakers to win League 2 and with a strikeforce of Grant Holt and Richard Walker you can see why.

Well if the rumours about us being interested in Anthony Elding are true then I'd be much more confident about our (Bradfords) chances of winning it. Leeds will probably need to drop the asking price though I reckon.

Thorne & Elding would be some pairing.

Aye, Town have good strikers but rest of the team isnt that great, think we need another midfielder.

It'll be wrist-slitting time again tonight then!
