    I think you'll find Akpan already has a couple of bookings for late tackles.

    Not sure if this has already been mentioned but Leeds are at home tomorrow - unusual for them to be at home on the same day as us. It’s usually one of us and home and the other away.

    With 3 West Yorkshire teams so near to each other in the EFL, there is often going to be 2 of us at home together, so I am sure there are plenty of occasions when it is Leeds and us at home at the same time

    All my mates are L**ds season ticket holders, somehow it hardly ever happens we are both at home on the same day.

    Not strictly true, as it’s one of the rules put into the fixture generator for us not to be home at the same time. 99% of the time we’re not both at home

    Hard to argue against any of that, Ricky. As others have said - It's up to BRE to Win back the shirt.
    But great to have on what is becoming a strong Bench. :)

    I am a believer in playing your best players available, unless they are off form. BRE was our most influential centre back before his suspension, and I wouldnt hesitate bringing him straight back in

    No room for sentiment, play our best players and get out of this league as soon as possible.

    Vaughan should also be recalled, should have been last week actually

    It's not harsh at all. It's football.

    You play your best team unless it's a cup match or meanless match or if a player is out of form.

    BRE wasn't out of form and is out best defender.

    Think about what you're saying. Barca go unbeaten without Messi do you think they're benching him? No! He will go straight back in when fit.

    Play your best players when fit!

    AOC will have to live with it but he I hope he understands it's football.

    It's a point.. you don't leave out your best players if fit!

    BRE is better than AOC.

    Bradford City the Charity club! We need to start having some balls!

    A number of our fans mindset is weak. We need to start getting tough. We need to stop feeling sorry for people when it comes to the game. It's a game but you can't be weak!

    Start demanding more and expecting better!!

    Why would you play a CB at RB when we have two more than capable right backs in Mellor and Henley? Don’t agree with shoehorning 3 CBs into the side because they’re playing well, surely this is a dream of a headache for Bowyer picking 2 out of the 3 when they’re all playing so well.

    Crawley have scored a few but also conceded a lot. We need to get into them from the kickoff I’m going 3-1 City. Will Finnie today’s referee it’s his first season as an EFL official in ten games so far 42 yellows 1 red. Maybe anything could happen.

    You don't change a winning team if it includes all your best players on form.
