I couldn't stomach our match against Cambridge today even if we were to get the 3 points, so I visited a my second team Bradford Park Avenue who simply had to win to have any chance of avoiding relegation. Basford are just above the relegation zone and are the only team that can be caught .
Avenue miraculously won 2-1 in a match that was played like a cup tie from the 1st minute to the last.Jake Daniel's came on as a sub but never got into the game, whereas the other sub was James Hanson (remember him) who gave the Basford defence something to think about.
Anyway I was very surprised at the quality of both sides and started to compare some of the players on both sides.
The Bradford keeper Ellison a loan player only playing his second game.
He saved shots that were going into the top corner, he came for everything as the crosses rained in on the Bradford goal.
I don't know who his parent club is but we should be looking at this lad.
I have to admit though that Basford had 5 or 6 players that looked absolute class and were really fired up.
On any other day this could have been
Avenue 2 Basford 6
What an afternoon's entertainment.
What a change!
Sorry for the long post. (Still buzzing)
I had almost forgotten this feeling.
