    Looking forward to the game tonight at Tranmere they're in a similar position to ourselves in the league table nothing to fear here.
    Reading the Yorkshire Post Adams saying this is the first time he's had a full squad to select from, the article also saying Cook could return, let's hope so he's been missed the Cook/Angol partnership looked promising.

    What makes you think that……

    At least we mix it up a bit lately and we’re the ones getting the equaliser occasionally!

    Need a win, most likely a draw.

    I think the article is saying we are just going to have Cook injured.

    Tranmere are there to be taken. 2.0 win for me and the start of a decent run. We should be looking to win all of the next six.

    I wouldn't expect him to start but sat on the bench would be promising especially as the talk was of him not returning until mid December.

    Read the article again Broncs, it's pretty clear that it's saying Cook is the only one out injured. He's not coming back anytime this side of Carlisle away, bench or otherwise. The comment "we are just going to have Andy Cook" is in relation to the treatment room being a lonely place, and insinuates that it is just Cook left in there.

    About time to show what we can do. Maybe against some expectations we can snap out of our single point culture and really push on to cement a place in the top six. That would be a boost as we approach January and the New Year. With a full squad to pick from at last, there would be more questions than answers if we failed to show better.

    POTENTIAL RETURN: Andy Cook has not played for Bradford City since the end of October but could feature at Tranmere Rovers tonight.

    What do I need to read again.

    As I posted I wouldn't think he'll start but seeing him on the bench would suggest he's not that far away.

    Where is that quote from? Adams said 16th-30th December after the Northampton game.

    I work on nights in North Wales during the week so not a million miles away from me.
    Other lads have agreed they can manage without me tonight so I’m making the short journey down the A55/M53 to Birkenhead tonight for my first away game of the season.

    Yep, that was my view. Not hard to do because Adams is somtimes vague when questioned about injuries. Last I heard was that Cook is expected back mid December.

    Well from what I read in the article, quoting DA, I would say the Yorkshire Post have completely put the wrong caption on the photo. We'll see when the team comes out, but I'd put my mortgage on Cook not being in it or on the bench.

    I hope I'm wrong.

    Tranmere have scored 13 and conceded 13 in 17 and not scored in 9 of those 17 games so I'm not expecting a 5-4 goal fest like in 2004.
    1- 0 either way seems most likely.

    keeps his cards close to his chest does our Derrick.
    I would be amazed if Andy Cook is back, but does seem a little early with the statements after his injury.
    Lets hope we can get our noses in front and hold on , as this lot do not score many. Knowing us though, they will find the shooting boots tonight.
    I do feel another draw coming on though.

    1 goal but for who. Our away record suggests the advantage may be with the home team.
