Haven't gave these bus threads much of a look in the past, but this season with all the off the field goings on and our poor run it has been a much needed thread. So stuff it the team is what i'm focusing on now, give us a seat Rich.

It’s Christmas! More the merrier. Great result today. Let’s keep this going. From this point forward we should only look up. Only 8 points from playoffs. We are always better in last four months of season. Put the seat belt on and enjoy the ride. Enjoy.

I’m in reasonably good shape apart from an ulcer that is repairing itself. Thanks for asking. Bring on the December fixtures. Just imagine where we could be on 1st January 2018.

The promotion bus went in for its annual MOT today and unfortunately it failed miserably! It’s going to need a complete overhaul and a lot of money spent on it in January, it’s not finished yet and could still make a comeback? Still only 8 points off the playoffs gasheads, chin up UTG!

Still in bottom half but look only nine points from play offs. It’s time we were just a little more positive. Somehow, I feel I will need to print a few more bus tickets. A run of victories and we will need another bus. The Ground breaking bus ride begins again. Ain’t no stopping us now.

It's still possible but will take league winning form to make the play offs from here on in. At least 40 points from 20 games. Not impossible

I think we’ll kick on have a decent second half of the season and finish around 10th again. That was my pre season prediction and I haven’t seen anything so far to change my mind. I do think that we need to play Bodin on the right tho,he’s lethal there but average everywhere else. The way we dominated the first half today we would have been out of sight if he’d stayed out on that side rather than playing in a free role as he seems to be doing. Good performance all round today though , and anyone who says stu isn’t up to league 1 needs a check up from the neck up , he wins it and gives it. Every good side has one of those.

So there we have it, Bradford. A few years ago the bus crashed at your place. Our dreams were for another day. So here we are many years later and it looks like we can beat the big boys. Don't underestimate our manager or this team.
Now Ten points behind Charlton. What does a bus ticket buy these days? Promotion through the Play-Offs surely is worth a journey joining. Why not? We have done it before. Get ready for another run in with a few twists and turn ahead for sure but hold on for another ride of your life. I'm on the bus and enjoying the ride again.

And only 6 points off the relegation places so have a bit of perspective.

People who know me will know I don’t do looking down only up. We have had our poor run of results and now we are back. Time to leave our fears of relegation behind and aim higher. Our manager will play down this result but we all know that we expect better than where we are now. I’ve a sneaky feeling that manager also think his team could quietly do better. Will he put pressure on them by saying it publically. Probably not yet but sometime soon he will. There is a whole bunch of clubs above us that we can go ahead of if the next few weeks go our way. Can we dream of being 3-4 points behind the play off positions by start of April? If we are then the bus will be packed!

Whilst were are on a decent run at present we are still 10 points behind 6th place, the same as where we were before the game started and, as you say, only 6 points off relegation.

But for that we need to win 3 or 4 away minimum - for that to happen I think we need 2 or 3 players to be signed in Jan. Wide right and left and a left back I'd say. Prob too late anyway because Charlton, Roths , Posh will keep winning to stay ahead of us. Hopefully, DC can get the players he needs in the summer and we won't have to sell any.

Win at home and draw away would have seen us 7th last season so who knows.

I think we have started our traditional good second part of the season.
But the first part was worse than usual and the second part has started later than it usually does, so we have a mountain to climb, with a precipice still just below us.

I’d be happy to finish 10th again personally, anything more than that would be great really given the players we’ve lost and players we’ve replaced them with... or not curretly replaced. Looking up not down tho that’s the main thing. Utg

Could still go up could still go down , will probably finish mid table. A mid-table finish this year would be a very good achievement in the circumstances, a far better achievement than last year when we had Taylor for half the season, Bodin for all of it and were still riding the crest of a wave. Those two are both worth over a million pounds in today's market so they were always going to be nearly impossible to replace given how little we got for them. The squad as a whole is also gradually being rebuilt. The job DC has done for us over the years is nothing short of outstanding and I expect there will be lots of interest from higher clubs to take him at the end of the season.
