    This would be my choice for tonight, but we know it will likely be a diamond, with Gillied and Smallwood in the centre and Oliver up top.

    East isn't playing, that's nailed on but I do think he'll revert back to the 4231 and as you say, Oliver up front on his own.

    Well as a ‘Loyal’ fan I thought you might know the Club’s history? :unsure:

    We (well Bradford city) has risen to the top twice!

    Check 1907/8 when we were promoted to the top division and spent 15 years at the ‘top’.

    We were again promoted in 1999.

    So factually two spells at the top! ;)

    We stand zero chance of that happening with our current owner and CEO! None!

    This made me wonder. So I looked on the BBC website...

    Stockport scorers this season
    10 Madden
    7 Wootten
    7 Collar
    6 Sarcevic
    3 Hussey and Myles Hippolyte - many of our fans laughed at him!

    Bradford scorers this season
    16 Cook - not being selected
    4 Wright - GONE
    3 Banks - not being selected/injured
    3 Oliver

    I think that tells us all we need to know.
    Plus Sarcevic always plays well against us and usually scores.
    So we will need at least 2! No chance I'm afraid.

    I hope he doesn't throw all the newbies in tonight. I know we haven't been pulling up trees but it would be too much disruption. Obviously the LB will have to play, and I like the look of Nevers. If fit possibly Clayton but that would be absolute max for me. The Clayton signing worries me. I hope he's one of the missing links but I'm concerned he might just be another City signing based on how good he was years ago

    My guess is we will line up like this

    Lewis
    Halliday Platt Crichlow Bola
    Gillead Clayton Smallwood
    Chapman
    Oliver Eisa

    Can’t figure out the formation. Is it a Christmas tree 4-3-2-1?

    One small thing i noticed, Bola has the number 7 shirt (ex-Angol sicknote)

    was hoping City were keeping the 7 shirt for another incoming attacking player and not giving it to a defender.

    Still no Cook starting, will do wonders for his confidence in front of goal.
    Like a few of you not seeing goals from this set-up.
