Is that sarcasm, or was he really bored?

No he was bored, he enjoyed all the singing and clapping but the game itself was a bit of a side issue. He's 7 years old and has barely watched a game on the telly so I wasn't expecting much enthusiasm from him. My eldest daughter usually goes so I didn't want to waste the ticket.

Looking good for Wycombe right now, could end up being an amazing turnaround from last season.

Amazing indeed.

Be happy with play-offs, tbh. Don't wish to sound negative, but if we do go up, we'll probably end up coming back down. There is though some big teams in that league, so would be nice.

I remember taking my son to cricket for the first time (aged 8).

Big mistake. A lot of adults struggle to sit through a day's play so what chance an 8 year old. Most of my days with him were spent behind the scoreboard playing our own game of cricket. Fortunately he soon found some friends there in similar positions so I could leave him and go back to the cricket.

My wife has no interest in sport whatsoever, which I'm fine with for many reasons, but I think it has rubbed off on all my kids who seem to share her disdain.

Fantastic corner from Jamie Hanson and he's meant to be a centre back too. His namesake James would love to get on such a delivery.

Matt Richie called up for the Scotland squad, I was only thinking this morning that I'd love to see him in an England shirt one day, not to be.

He had been down a while just before that after a pretty sickening clash of heads with Tettey, and was surprised both were able to continue....

Neither side really stormed the game, but Norwich were the better team. Derby played with 10 men behind the ball all game and should have been 3-0 down at half time, but Norwich got the goal and played out the rest of the game like they had won the league because of it, and couldn't step up a gear once Derby got back in it.

It'll be back-to-back away wins too if we can hold on.

Blimey what a chance for Wilson to put us 2-0 up at Cardiff, goal at his mercy and he scuffs it onto the post.

Should have won tonight, a load of chances squandered and a very debatable disallowed goal. Wilson stood still, keeper kicks the ball straight at him, ball ricocheted back onto the bar and then Wilson tucks it away. Goal disallowed and Wilson booked. *modded* decision!

Dropping to third as a result, was hoping we'd win tonight because I was going to take a point against Boro on Saturday, now we have to go for the win.

Results larely going Bradford's way in League One tonight. Playoff sides Barnsley and Sheffield United could only manage a draw, whilst Doncaster lost to Swindon.

So Bradford 4pts behind 6th and 5pts behind 5th with two games in hand and are scheduled to play the South Yorkshire sides in April, bring it on :box
