“Like a League One Messi” Bradford City fans react after Iron show

Bradford City were a side digging themselves a hole but a few games ago. Deep in the relegation mire, keeping on digging for a way out was a seemingly fruitless task.

Apart from one game, a 1-0 victory over AFC Wimbledon, the Bantams have been in the relegation zone since losing 3-2 on matchday 7 away at Blackpool.

14 games that’s been, with seven of these seeing the Valley Parade side firmly fixed in place as the division’s basement side. They’ve taken some hammerings, the 4-2 loss to Coventry City and the 4-0 pasting from Luton Town spring to mind.

Boss David Hopkin said that he sensed that an upturn in fortune was just around the corner. That seemed to begin with the comprehensive 4-0 smashing of mid-table Walsall in the biblical rain of last weekend.

That upturn continued today as City welcomed their former manager Stuart McCall and his 20th-placed Scunthorpe side to West Yorkshire. It was one of those cliched six-point games, a ‘must-win’ game.

As a ‘must-win’, City went out and did just that. In a solid display that lifted them out of the relegation zone, goals from Jack Payne (10′) and Eoin Doyle (27′) were enough to lift them above Scunthorpe on goal difference.

It was a result that was well received on Twitter as fans took to the social media platform to celebrate. Next up for the Bantams is a tough away game at Sunderland, a side that beat them 2-1 at Valley Parade back in early October.
