    I usually travel down Manchester Road. From Croft Street to Thornton Road has been hell for the last 18 months whilst they create cycle routes…..for phantom cyclists! I see they have now abandoned the closed lanes (dedicated cycle lanes) on Wakefield Road. Thankfully I am away tonight.

    The xg factor makes sense. The bookies are notoriously canny with their profiling as we know all too well but this feels like a real anomaly. Odds like these are usually reserved for games between teams with vastly differing league positions.

    Worth keeping an eye on that then if they're statistically expected to be woeful.

    Wonder what it is that's allowing them to overperform? Surely not the 6'9 guy from Town, he's pants, but that's the kind of stat you can't really account for. If he was good at headers he'd theoretically score every game.

    Really looking forward to this one. Free flowing football, 101% effort and a comfortable 3-0 win.

    The summer business will prove its worth.

    Look up “lummox” in the dictionary and there’s a picture of Hudlin.

    Failed to score at every league team he’s been at.
    A poor man’s Kevin Francis.

    Think he broke his duck last week but yeah, Kevin Francis is a great comparison.

    Yet I'm sure I've seen his name mentioned on here in the past saying he could be a potential signing

    No Huntington in squad. Thought he might be at least on the bench. Injured already?

    Not inspired by that starting lineup.
    We shall see however.

    Only other forward scoring goals and he can't get on the pitch. I don't know the phrase for it but Alexander goes through these periods where he seemingly just drops a player for no apparent reason and allows other out of form players to play ahead of them. Makes no sense to me.

    I'm always a fan of playing our own players ahead of loan players wherever possible, but I just can't see how Kav gets in ahead of Sanderson

    Surely he must be. Recent performances weren’t great, but not bad enough to be completely dropped and definitely not in the place of Kavanagh who has really struggled so far this season. I’m really hoping in Kavanaghs case he can get a goal and get back to the form we saw last season.

    Happy to see 3 CBs and the return of Byrne. Main thing is it should allow Walker to play a more advanced pressing role rather be wasted on the right.

    Need a win and a much more convincing performance tonight….

    Bobby Kamwa for them is an ex Bradford youth from memory. Hudlin is 6’9 or thereby but he's shittee
