Thanks Philip and Darragh great, informative and honest as ever. Can't get to Reading tomorrow for family reasons but will be there at Crawley on Tuesday!
Superb episode as ever guys!!!…UPTFC ๐๐๐๐ช๐ผ๐ and UPTPOSH โฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธ
It's amazing our posh have improved since Christmas, the January signings have made a huge difference ,but the whole team are just better๐๐๐ค๐
Fantastic day for Bradford City a year on from the protests. It was a great example of the club working with the fans rather than seeing them as the problem/toxic. We arenโt toxic and the reaction was still positive after the two defeats. The players are closer to the fans now and vice versa.
Credit to Ryan Sparks, iโd be curious to know if Philip has noticed a difference in him over the last year. Because the way he embraced the whole pack the parade idea and ran with it was great to see. And some of the things he said in the โfans forumโ I thought showed signs of learning from past mistakes and maybe a new improved outlook.
I do love a good redemption story so Iโm hoping we are seeing a Ryan Sparks with more humility and that has learned and is better for it. Thing is I didnโt just slate him for the fun of it, neither did many others. Same for Rupp, heโs kept his promise and look what has happened. It didnโt take much and some contracts that expire in the summer will greatly help with a L1 budget.
27:30 – irony here is that good reffing makes life harder for our defenders in one way. Although the up side is soft penalties are avoided, we have a few defenders (mainly Sheperd who didnโt play) that drop to the floor when they get a hand touching their back. Works a treat normally. Wouldnโt have worked so well with Will Finnie.
