    In reverse chronological order:

    Bradford 1-0 Mansfield - Danny Rowe
    Walsall 1-2 Bradford - Levi Sutton, Andy Cook
    Bradford 1-0 Leyton Orient - Callum Cooke
    Cheltenham 0-2 Bradford - Andy Cook, Andy Cook
    Bradford 2-1 Morecambe - Anthony O'Connor, Charles Vernam
    Bradford 2-1 Barrow - Danny Rowe, Callum Cooke
    Southend 1-3 Bradford - Gareth Evans, Gareth Evans, Danny Rowe

    We've won every game either Rowe or Cook has started (except the first, a 0-0 against Cambridge), and the strikers themselves have scored in 5 out of 7 of those games. Extend it to our 'front four', if you will, and at least one of them has scored a goal in EVERY SINGLE game since Cambridge away, and you could even include Exeter in that one because both Vernam and Crankshaw scored.

    Saturday will be a totally different game. Bolton won't sit with a packed midfield but will come at us and will leave gaps. Cant wait, whoever wins this match will finish in the top three. If Canavan can Marshall Doyle and paudie stop sarcevic we win. Cant wait.

    The point is we are spot on defensively and we have proved we have the forward players who can get us results .contrary to what some say I thought Rowe did ok today he battled hard with centre half despite not really being a target man took his goal nicely and that shot that knocked their keeper over from an angle was worth the I follow fee on its own. Today wasn’t about attacking future games will and we have the weapons

    I had a plan in my head. Top half by end of February. Tick, done that. Top ten by end if March, done that early. Top seven by end of April. 45 points from 31 games. Done that early.

    As things are going we could be top seven by next Tuesday.

    This season is turning out to be immense. Win on Saturday and we need something like 22 points from 15 games to make the top seven.

    The top three is very very much in our sights. Bring it on.

    Need to hold our nerve and keep passing not resort to hoofing and then we'll create chances.

    They play the same formation as us, with Sarcevic playing in the Callum Cooke role, so Paudie won't be directly against him. We might be relying on Levi Sutton to do more a man-marking job.

    We saw Law in a similar position for Mansfield today, and he almost scored, so hopefully we address that and find a way of putting the same kind of pressure on him that we've been putting on a string of League Two's top strikers of late. He's just as dangerous, IMO.

    I can't say I noticed DMH, but I hope you're wrong about him playing because we'll get a whopping fine and possible points deduction. He transferred elsewhere in the January window :thumbup:

    We still seem to be giving free kicks away around the box. Something we need to address before the inevitable happens.

    I don't think Trueman and Sellars will have us "hoofing" the ball.

    Wish I could agree with you on the last statement but I think Cheltenham, Tranmere and to an extent Bolton are very much in the driving seat. Points in the bag. Win the next 4 and I will agree
