Decent performance today against a good. Still a bit baffled by millsy's selection policy at moment but will happily take a point.

Awesome crowd, but big question is where are all the vocal lot at home games? Atmosphere at BC has been pretty dire recently, something like what we had today would make a difference in my opinion

Not the best of games but a very good point. Challinor had a bit of a mare but a good shift again from the likes of Walker and Blair and oh how it's good to see Kerr back. Good support from the city fans but did Meredith really have to get all that abuse ?

Tight game - draw a fair result, although a couple of let offs for us in the second half.

Superb City following of 1400.

Good response from City after that midweek debacle-they say its how you come back after a bad defeat that counts-would have been nice to keep a clean sheet after going ahead but not going to complain about an away point at Bradford-cracking crowd & atmosphere-occasions like this make it so good to be a League Club again-just need to start getting a few 3 point hauls in forthcoming games to move up the League a bit & see where it takes us-Yc4e!

Happy with that, we played well for the most part, Chambers scored a phenomenal goal. Some defensive frailties still, but fewer of the individual errors which is good to see - generally, everyone was concentrating and up for it. One thing I noted; Fyfield was once again excellent, and on todays performance I would say he looked better than Meredith. Very encouraging.

Good performance, perhaps fortunate to get away with it in the second half. I thought we were weak down the right with Reedy and Challinor before the goal, then their lad went through them like butter.

I would have brought Parslow on at right back but generally very happy with a point and what a superb following. There hasn't been any away crowds at BC to match the vocal support we take away.

A bit surprised when I saw the team that Gary Mills had selected, but I enjoyed the game and felt that we deserved to get a point. We scored a good goal then conceded a poor goal, but thats football I suppose. Still frail at defending, Challinor was very poor today. Not a perfect performance by any means, but a big improvement on the Coventry debacle. I just wish that we could bottle that support and bring it out for every match, tremendous atmosphere at todays game - "Well done to all the City fans who travelled to Bradford". Now please lets start performing at Bootham Crescent!

Great performance - glad that Gary picks the team and not some of the posters on this web-site. Chambers was excellent, took his goal well - just watch the teams reaction on him scoring to show what they thought. Smith another website 'hit man' excellent all round captains perfomance. Walker - I would like to see him 100% fit - what a performance from the walking wounded - or was that a ploy from Gary Mills - ran his socks off for 94 minutes - well done Jason. My man of the match was Fyfield (Jason W runner-up) - outstanding performance from Jamal - looked better the Mez today. Who's the happiest tonight? - York City - many Bradford supporters thought we we the best side and certain had more idea of breaking down a defence - they were happy to settle for the point.

Best away support (other than the Wembley finals), since Mansfield in the POSF2!! Chambers goal was a beauty! We backed off Hines far too much and let his pace frighten us for their equaliser. Our defending was a bit brittle in parts but for me, Ingham, Smith and Fyfield were all very good, with Kerr starting to run things in the middle. Jason.Walker worked his socks off all afternoon but needs more effective support and maybe Michael Coulson should have had the nod ahead of Jamie Reed? All in all, a well organised and strong City performance but as mentioned above, we now need to start making it fortress BC! COYR!

Just got back from Bradford after a very good City display - we had a reasonable shout for a penalty for handball turned down, their keeper made a very good save shortly before they equalised, they missed two sitters. At least we've answered the question about whether or not Jamie should get a place in the starting XI - not on the basis of this performance, Jamie, very ineffective. JW, Fyfield, Chambers all impressive. I'd have been happy with a point before kick off but am now slightly disappointed we didn't get all three. COYR

what an incredible goal by chambers!!! that's one of the greatest goals scored by a city player in the last 15-20 years for me, absolutely outstanding....and infront of the their big home support was even sweeter.
lets get 3 points soon though, hopefully next weekend, but against a resurgent Dagenham it will be difficult.
only downside, meredith getting stick. out of order without question.

Good performance, what a strike from Chambers! Hope that keeps the Chambers haters quiet for a while, deserves his goal always works his socks off!! The center halfs were superb for us today, challinor had a tough game, not the best defencively but people forget he was brought to the club as a midfielder. Another player that always puts a **** in! Bring on Saturday!!! Come on City!!!

Thank you for name dropping... don't do it again!. To state the obvious (see other posts), for every good game you get from chambers, you'll get 4 or 5 not so good ones. By the way, it's 1 point today and we were lucky to get that! Go bother somebody else!

We would have been happy with a point before the game so a draw is not such a bad result. Great goal from Chambers, hope it works wonders for his confidence. Does Jamie Reed deserve to be in the side in front of Coulson? Doubt it! Need Banjo back at fullback. If we can start to win our home games we will not be too far off the play-off spots.

What a great level of support packed in like battery hens, looked at a web site which said it was 1440 certainly felt like a lot more much more vocal than the home support & for the most part a credit to the club.
As for the game thought City looked out of sorts really lacking a genuine centre midfield player Blaire's pace wasted good to see Kerr looking a bit more like his former self.Reedy played a part but in no way is he a wing player. Smith was certainly the better of the two CB's today Carlisle looked short of match practice, Fyfield was certainly in contention for my MOTM but the off colour Challinor would have been my first substitution however Kearns off?? I thought he was one of the players having a good day involved in most of our good stuff. Still GM is paid to make these decisions, I am not sure that having the 3rd Coach on the bench is not muddying the decision making? The goal by Hines was a disappointment from a defensive point of view he rode 3 or 4 ineffective .challenges to finish well. Overall for me two points lost perhaps, but it could have gone either way as there was no gulf in class between the teams if GM can get us ticking we have just about got the talent to be looking at the play offs Cmon City!!!!

Good performance by York, after 1st 20 mins. Tired display from Bradford, compared to previous home games. Top finish by Chambers but there was a 'could have gone anywhere' feeling about it. York restricted to long range efforts...Bradford a few half chances and a couple of near misses in 2nd half. All in all a draw the right result. Away support could have been better...more chanting to wind up the home fans than to back the team! There was a depressing inevitability about the 'wanna go home' chants and Meredith boos! How about a bit of imagination?!

Regarding Reed the problem is Mills obviously has no faith in him, he needs a run in the team as any player does to get up to his best but that's never going to happen. We know we can get points away but it's now back to BC next and Mr Mills has to find a way to win at home one way or another. It's ok taking a point away if you follow that up with a win but as we know we can't do that at the moment.

1:23pm Sun 14 Oct 12

I think it's a bit unfair to criticise Reed on that showing. He's a goal-grabber so he needs to be in the box with the ball fed to him. He can't do that when he's effectively playing at right-half (that's right side of midfield for you younger folk).

Phil, Leeds says...
1:45pm Sun 14 Oct 12

Another good away result but we need to get 3 points at home next week or the home gates will continue in a downward direction - as will the league position.
Bit unfair to be critical of Jamie Reed. He's an out and out striker and will never be at his best in the way that he's currently and occasionally used.
The stick that Meredith got was completely fair IMO - that's what happens in football, just accept and enjoy it!

A number of the Bradford fans were shocked by the aggressive chants including the words ***t or ****e - from a seemingly large number of the York supporters.
This led to a debate as to an appropriate collective noun for such supporters.....
They were also puzzled as to how such chants could motivate the team.
As for the treatment of James Meredith - it was both inappropriate and disgusting.
The football was entertaining and full of promise for the future. We may not move up this season - but with Mills at the helm we should be well prepared for next season.

Great away point for city. Obviously I'd love us to be top of the table but absolutely would have taken where we are in our first season back in the league. We are in a good position.
If anybody needs a reality check I have just looked through yesterdays Blue Square fixtures and it made me shudder. Personally I think Its a great time to be a city fan.

Meredith and Hines were allowed to run along two thirds of their left flank and our challenges against both were no-where near good enough and when Hines got into the box, our defenders took a step away from him with their arms raised in the I haven't touched him gesture! This was just not good enough and we need to get a bit more street-wise and put in some "hard" tackles/challenges in such situations, even if someone has to give away a free-kick or pen. and take a yellow card. Better than just standing-off and allowing them to run the ball into our goal un-challenged! Lanre Oyebanjo with all his pace, might just have got in a telling tackle/challenge?

He was at times but overall he was poor for me, balls into the box were very poor. For the goal yes Kerr certainly for one let the player go straight round him. It was a pretty crap goal from our perspective.

8:06pm Sun 14 Oct 12

Two very different but great goals and they smashed the post with a good effort so got to be happy with a hard won point away.
We're playing a league higher than last season and feeling the comparative strain but we'll be ok - mid table with an outside chance of the playoffs I reckon. I'm still loving being back in the league and playing well (though yet to match the heights of early season last year).
Kerr tired a bit I think but great to have him back and getting back to his best.
I was a Chambers doubter last season but his all-round contribution this year is impressive as well as his outstanding finish yesterday. Agree Reed needs a run if only a run as a sub with 20-25 minutes to go when we need it.

OLD - HEAD says...
8:23pm Sun 14 Oct 12

I thought that John Challinors positional play and use of the ball was very poor against Bradford. Nobody is trying to say that their goal was totally down to him though. Like "Duffy" has already said, Scott Kerr could have done better, but he was afraid of bringing the lad down in the penalty area. It certainly was a poor goal to concede. At the end of the match City would be much happier with a point than Bradford City were. They really failed to finish us off when they were well on top. Reading the Bradford City forum some of their postings said that York Citys nippy little forwards were very impressive. Obviously others said that we were just an average team, that they should be beating. Its all down to opinions at the end of the day.

Enjoy the rest of the season and if you're looking up the table rather than down I'd be content! If the going gets tough make sure you keep the faith with Mills. It's a long time since York had a good manager so give him every chance. Looking forward to the game at BC in March when you'll welcome the Bradford rabble. What's the away allocation these days?

garnham says...
9:24pm Sun 14 Oct 12

Mills has my support all the time no-one at the club can match his experience. If he thinks some players don't measure up to what is required,then he's probably right.
I hope the moaning minies at BC stop the negative chuntering & start cheering the team on. There's nowt worse than half the crowd not joining in with a cheer or applause.
The moaners obviously are stay at homers as our 1400 on Saturday did a great job, except the panto boo boys. Don't they realise all they achieve is to egg on the said villain to up his game.
Who was it that passed to he guy who scored for Bradford ?

Agreed. Challinor always made himself available for the pass from the centre halves but because his right side forward player didn't support he resorted to lumping the ball forward and often over hit his passes or probably more accurate to say he got his angles wrong from around the halfway line. But he can claim half an assist for the classy Chambers' goal. Apart from the ten minutes when they could have had three we controlled much of the possession without really threatening. Happy with the draw but I would have liked a few more shots given the possession. Hats off to Meredith for his end of match response to applaud us - despite the barracking.

Chambers : what's not to like? Scares defences with pace, makes goals, scores goals. Oh, but he's useless at defending...a bit like Byrne and Gabbiadini then!
As last season showed and this season is proving we're great away where we have space to counter attack and our "nippy little forwards" are effective, but not so good at home when we've got to make the first move. It's almost as if we need 2 front lines. A Reed/Blair one for full-on attack at home and a Walker-led one for hitting people on the break away from BC.
Pity Johnson doesn't seem to be making a play for that 'leader of the pack' home role.

What planet are some of you on?
Yes Chambers had a better game on Saturday (not hard on recent performances!!) and scored a very good goal, but a good goal and mediocre performance doesn't change the fact for the last 5 games he has been very poor. He was also the player that gave the ball away for Bradfords equaliser and before you all jump on the bandwagon, yes it still should have been dealt with, but that doesn't change the fact he gave the ball away.
On his day, when his confidence up there isnt a better player at York than Chambers, the only problem is that player only appears 3 to 4 times a season.
We are already carrying several mediocre BSP players (C Smith, Challinor to name a couple) and cant afford to carry another player like Chambers week in week out. Especially when we have better at he club. He should be rested and given his chance from the bench.

Before 90% of you tell me to be more positive and get behind the team, I'm not all about doom and gloom and I'm positive the team will do OK this season, but as a paying customer (and have been for 30 years) surely I'm entitled to have and voice my opinion.

I will continue to get behind the team every game regardless of Mills team selection and tatics even without the rose tinted spectacles so many of you seem to be wearing.

Yes Chambers had a better game on Saturday (not hard on recent performances!!) and scored a very good goal, but a good goal and mediocre performance doesn't change the fact for the last 5 games he has been very poor. He was also the player that gave the ball away for Bradfords equaliser and before you all jump on the bandwagon, yes it still should have been dealt with, but that doesn't change the fact he gave the ball away.
On his day, when his confidence up there isnt a better player at York than Chambers, the only problem is that player only appears 3 to 4 times a season.
We are already carrying several mediocre BSP players (C Smith, Challinor to name a couple) and cant afford to carry another player like Chambers week in week out. Especially when we have better at he club. He should be rested and given his chance from the bench.

Before 90% of you tell me to be more positive and get behind the team, I'm not all about doom and gloom and I'm positive the team will do OK this season, but as a paying customer (and have been for 30 years) surely I'm entitled to have and voice my opinion.

I will continue to get behind the team every game regardless of Mills team selection and tatics even without the rose tinted spectacles so many of you seem to be wearing.

An excellent post very well put!

Was you there V Coventry dazethecat ? Thought the vocal backing that night was outstanding
I wasn't, I don't live in York so unfortunately mid-week games are tough for me to make, and if that's the case then I stand corrected.

Having said that, I was at the Cheltenham game and noticed inghams clear frustration at the lack of vocal support, and Rotherham wasn't much better. The excitement of being back in the league really seems to have faded fast on the terraces

Just because 2 or 3 people share similar views to the majority of sheep on here doesn't mean they have to be the same person!
Believe it or not you are entitled to your opinion, you don't have to follow what other people on here say.

Just shows how deluded some are on this forum. I'm not the same the person as you stated so man up and get some opinions of your own
