    Yes, a nice selection headache to have, but for me away at a side who aren't doing so well we need to play two up top.

    Today's formation worked really well in stifling Swindon's midfield, we were nippier and more competitive than them, but that's fine and dandy against a side that are high on confidence and not really interested in scrapping and defending for their lives.

    There are any number of options for the midfield now, but I'd consider dropping Ismail to the bench and restoring Pritchard to the right, and continuing to use Zeli as an impact player. His fitness just isn't there.

    It will be interesting what he does with Vaughan. But I'm more interested that he shows respect to Morecambe.

    Going top on October 12th means nothing

    It will be a big call for Bowyer to either leave well alone or reinstate his Captain, unfortunately I think he will go for the latter.
    It's been a long time since we played with two out and out wingers but it worked reasonably well yesterday it would mean dropping one of our wingers to accommodate Vaughan and I agree of the two Ismail would be the better option off the bench as I agree Zeli is not quite there fitness wise.

    Sorry to disappoint @Jonny78@Jonny78 but iFollow is no longer streaming live games at 3pm to UK subscribers. They knocked it on the head at the end of last season.

    Think @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler needs to have a word with his counterparts over at Morecambe about the entrance music. With Chris Sarginson being the man with the whistle and cards this weekend, we have to ask Morecambe to play the Benny Hill music for him.

    Who can forget the most amusing refereeing incident ever
    :laughing:

    Funnily enough, Andy, we and Oldham were charged by the F.A. after that game for failing to control our players. Oldham pleaded Guilty, largely as a result of their keeper running half the length of the pitch to get involved. We pleaded Not Guilty and I told the F.A I wanted Mr Sarginson, his two Assistants and the Fourth Official at the hearing so I could question them all as to their actions.
    24 hours later case dropped against both Clubs!.
    As to your music suggestion, very funny and I will see what I can do but be aware these guys have a way of getting their own back if they feel targeted and I would rather have three points.

    You say these guys have a way of getting their own back, that comment should not be a throw away one, any dodgy action and decision should be well scrutinised and taken up with the authorities as we fans
    are suspicious that this seems to be the case most saturdays, marks out of 10 should be published post match by an independent assessor.....

    Connolly to the right? Pritchard has played on the left most of the season.

    Pritchard is anything but a right sided player.

    A good idea @Tony Wilkinson@Tony Wilkinson . Personally I'd prefer to hear of performance related pay being in conjunction with that.

    As perfectly demonstrated in his last game.

    As we build up to Saturday's match, who can forget Aaron McLean's long range thunderbolt:

    As always, I'm caught in limbo with this fixture.
    Bradford has for a long time, had a social relationship with Morecambe.

    Currently, Morecambe are trying to survive a low, as City need to surf this crest of a wave.
    The stat's read well, in Citys favour. But let's forget stat's for a moment, or two.
    Morecambe is more like a Derby, these days. And as such, I'm tempering my expectations. A Win ? Oh, yes !! But tighter than many would expect. A 0 - 2 Win for me - and fought for, well and hard ;)

    Similar to Donaldson’s disallowed effort against Northampton recently. Nothing he could do, he just fell onto it, completely accidental.
