There's no way Bauer deserved a card there. Ref just buckling to pressure from home crowd to show he isn't biased. Piss poor.
Could be for the amount of fouls he has committed today
Maybe so.
Anyway decent half I thought. Seems to me we are trying to be more patient, so it isn't as exciting as parts of Tuesday but there is calmness and assurance about our play, and the City fans are a bit frustrated. Professional.
We are soaking up pressure and defending well without causing Bradford any real issues ourselves. Sarr looking very good once again, solly defending really well.
Slowish start from us, but we were the better side by half time. They are going failrly direct but the back 4 coping well so far, Sarr, Konsa and Bauer in particular playing well. Kashi and JFC bossing midfield, Kashi doing an excellent job on helping out the fullbacks - he's having one of his 3 places at once performances.
The front 4 haven't quite clicked yet, Fosu's decision making has let him down and Clarke and Holmes' passing has been a bit off making Big Mag a little bit isolated.
One fantastic bit of interplay down the left between Sarr and Fosu deserved more than just a corner.
We can win this for sure, but honours even at half time is probably about fair.
