    Our next six games…..

    Rochdale (18th)
    Walsall (15th)
    CRAWLEY (11th)
    ORIENT (12th)
    Harrogate (14th)
    Stevenage (21st)

    ……all below us in the table.

    will today’s fightback victory prove a turning point?

    we weren’t great before the red card but battered them thereafter……

    It depends on how good our signings are. Bring in a few more like Walker ie who look like they can affect the game and make things happen and we could go on a decent run.

    Don't see any reason why we can't win all six

    That’s the mentality.

    We matched all of the big teams earlier in the season so there’s absolutely no reason why we need to be running scared of anyone coming up in the next few months.

    i just hope Adams hasn’t destroyed their self belief earlier in the season and that we can ship out any sulkers (if there are any) to harmonise the dressing room……

    3 points yesterday. Put Boreyer in his place. Big win. Can kickstart our promotion push. Walker is the dogs nuts. Even the training pitches are looking plush. Lots to be optimistic about.

    Ok, I want to see everyone gamble their savings that we beat Rochdale at the weekend!

    Come on. One win and no back to back wins but now we are the greatest team on earth.

    Do it if you are so confident!

    Not a chance I believe we are good enough to go on any kind of winning run! No chance. Show me them betting slips!

    Here you go. My wild prediction and this is being quite positive.
    • Saturday 22nd January Rochdale 1-1 Bradford City Draw
    • Tuesday 25th January Walsall1-1 Bradford City Draw
    • Saturday 29th January Bradford City 3-1 Crawley Town Win
    • Tuesday 1st February Bradford City 1-0 Leyton Orient Win
    • Saturday 5th February Harrogate Town 2-0 Bradford City Loss
    • Tuesday 8th February Stevenage0-0 Bradford City Draw
    City gain 9 points. They climb the table to……ninth!

    Copy the fixtures and put your own scores against them!


    Clearly City may well out perform this. I may review after each game. However as of 16th January that is my prediction.

    However I worry that Cook, is carrying a chronic injury, which will mean his appearances will be reduced and his effectiveness reduced.

    Paudie took a hell of a knock, I wouldn’t be surprised if he has to sit out. At best he will have a gum shield which could impact on his breathing.

    Canavan again looks a little out of sorts.

    This reminds me of when Trueman and Sellars put a string of wins together, and everyone had us going unbeaten til the end of the season and putting bets on we'd get promoted. Booking hotels for Wembley.

    Barrow and ten man Salford. Two wins since the 23rd of October, and we're now unbeatable (apart from Harrogate town for some reason, who last won on the 23rd of November and have been shipping in goals for fun). If we don't sign any new players who are an improvement on the ones we have, then I can't see anything changing. Hope I'm wrong, but we've got two weeks left of the transfer season, and despite the shiny new scouting network, I'm thinking it's going to go down to the wire again. Walker looks good. The other fella was signed two matches ago and we still haven't seen him.

    Get your definitions right Fordy. We are not shite. We are currently desperately mediocre.

    Two faced so and so. Show us that bet you paid to the burns unit. Shameful.

    Good idea.

    I’m being overly optimistic but sod it. Assuming Cook and Angol stay fit and hoping we make defensive reinforcements;

    • Saturday 22nd January Rochdale 2-2 Bradford City Draw
    • Tuesday 25th January Walsall 1-2 Bradford City Win
    • Saturday 29th January Bradford City 2-1 Crawley Town Win
    • Tuesday 1st February Bradford City 1-0 Leyton Orient Win
    • Saturday 5th February Harrogate Town 2-1 Bradford City Loss
    • Tuesday 8th FebruaryStevenage 1-2 Bradford City Win

    Don't get to many away games these days, but think I'll make the trip to Spotland on Saturday, was dependant on yesterday's performance but really enjoyed the game and the general attitude of the team. Hopefully we can take a load over to get behind the lads to help us to back to back wins
    Last time I went there we were bottom of Div one but put in a superb display and trounced em 4 nowt, shame we couldn't perform like that every week and not gone down to this w##k division

    Interesting, why would you pick Harrogate as the game we would lose?

    They seem to be a pretty poor side this season, gone totally off the boil.

    If Derek and these scouts can turn up someone who can convert chances or nick goals out of nothing and from nowhere, I think they definitely could start to climb the league. It's not like they're being comprehensively beaten on a regular basis. They've patently been low in confidence and their heads drop when they go behind because they have zero confidence that they can turn a game around.

    I think they'd have done well to have taken a point yesterday without the sending off. But perhaps that win might have given them a little boost in the confidence department. They just need more opponents to commit more tooth removing forearm smashes and it's 'E,I,E,I,E,I,O. UP THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE WE GO!'

    Although, this is Bradford City and we could start to score more but then the defence will turn into a sieve and we'll be back at square one again. Just to temper any optimism anyone might have. (We've all seen it many, many times before with this football club, after all. Just when everything starts to look good, something turns up to pi$$ all over our chips.)
