I don't usually moan about the refs, but this guy is doing my head in.
Not much between the teams.

Thought he was very good today. Made a couple of mistakes but nothing major. One of the better ones IMO

He was awful, but gave us plenty of weird unexpected advantages. Typical fussy ‘everyone came to watch me’ wanker

Agree , thought he kept the game flowing , only gave cards when necessary. Their fans called for 25 penalties.

I thought he was dreadful, got multiple decisions wrong for both teams, probably should have given a red and them a penalty. One of the worst we've had in a while
Performance was great on the other hand, and particularly encouraging how we kept pace with a team that's looked the best in the league by a distance so far. The improvement from last year is impressive too, particularly in White. Pattenden was particularly good, I was a bit worried about him before the game based on some shaky performances but he was my motm today. If Reid or Roberts scored either of their good chances early in the second half it would have been a brilliant win, but still a very positive result.

Good summary. Felt they were very beatable when we raised the momentum and had a go. But happy with the sensibly fairly conservative base.

I wouldn't want him again as a ref. Got 90% spot on but as you say, some odd calls.
Gave a foul against Kemp when he had the ball and got bumped from behind. Not a foul either way but definitely not against Kemp advancing into the final third.
The trip on Roberts was an professional foul in a dangerous position, yellow every day of the week.
Hack on Pattenden a clear red IMO but can forgive a yellow.
Pleasantly fussy on Bradford stealing 10 yards on throw-ins but let us get away with it.
Attention seeking.
Bradford fans will be blaming him all weekend.

Not sure anything justifies Lubala coming out for the 2nd half. Can’t beat his man and leaving Freestone stranded.
Kemp having a good game and great strike from Harv.

Still not sure what Lubala offers, other than a bit of strength.

Reid & Goode appeared to be having a few heated words. Bit of finger pointing, Reid seemed a bit vexed!

Can only go by the stats but they have us way on top in terms of chances.

Yep.
Other than their goal we haven't really been troubled, whilst we have had three or four chances in and around the box.
An entertaining 45 between two clearly decent sides, but we have edged it.

First half was so entertaining and quick... best 45 I've watched in a while.
1-1 a fair result IMO.
Ref arguably could have sent the player off first half for that bad foul on Pattenden (who should already have been booked for the trip on Roberts) but you win some you lose some.
White is gonna make us a fortune at some point, not even close to the player of last season, so so good.
And Pattenden had an absolute stormer, Luther might have a fight on his hands.

This is definitely winnable. Just don't get sucker punched on the break

Yeah, they look very dangerous when they attack on the counter.
And having Pidge and Houghton on a booking is a concern with the way they attack.

Get Bez off for Campbell

Or Pheonix, but this is a shambles the last 10.
What planet does Campbell come on over him if we are trying to win the game?

Because Phoenix offers nothing defensively and we need an element of dealing with their attacking threat down that side.

And lose 2-1 ;).
Any suggestion we didn't go for the win just because Phoenix didn't play (after doing well against some shit children) today is complete and utter bullshit.
And besides, whenever he has started for us in the league he has been disappointing, and today was not a match that suited him. I absolutely agreed with Campbell replacing Bez over Phoenix. I would have brought Phoenix on instead of Roberts (poor again for me today) and Gass for Reid (really poor today, looked two yards off the pace all day and his first touch was shocking) a good ten or fifteen earlier, but overall I have no complaints with Revs' selection or subs, nor with our performance. Draw was a fair result, but we edged the chances and could have won it, against a very good side.

Today wasnt a game for flair. Far too frenetic and physical.
I thought Roberts did OK today, and I'm not a huge fan.

Been very poor this second half, not helped by the bench.

Yet we have had three good chances to score.
I would cast your mind back a few years if you want very poor. This is not it.

I didn't say it was poor overall, just frustrating. Feel like he was happy with a draw today. I would want to go for it more in the home games.

Disagree about the bench, the ref is having a bigger influence on how this is playing out, bizzare decisions both ways.

The result was my fault today, sorry.
I’ve been to every home league game this season & have a 100% success rate. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it today - my girlfriend bought me tickets for the tour of Inside No. 9 - so I couldn’t be there.
I promise it won’t happen again
