    It's not like we are starved of the opportunity to use it on here :)

    Pretty sure that quote came from the Barnsley end?

    He actually played on the left in the 3 games Alexander, Gent and Sparks saw him in during the play offs.....try again.

    And Wimbledon didnt set up like us. They played 3 in the middle and 2 up top. So the wingbacks were far more forward thinking in terms of offering width.

    Greg Abbott I'll give you. The other two were definitely single position players that were shoehorned in elsewhere.

    Vincelot would be a great example though, as was Eddie Youds.

    He's better than the vast majority of our centre halves to be fair.

    It did initially but Humphrys has also said it in an interview with YP.

    It's so rare that the stat is insignificant. I'll bang this drum till I drop but players are generally one position specific despite the idea by some that you can just stick a player in some boots and expect them to be versatile. These days they are moulded before they hit the first team, people mistake utility for not having your best player available so it's the best option of what you have left.

    I'd have loved to have signed him for Bradford City on last seasons performances, to say where he was 3 seasons ago to being as you say one of the best performers in last seasons team, lets hope the additions we have brought to the club prove they are an upgrade on what we had last season.

    It was a comment from a fellow Bradford City fan who has been correct in the past, if as he said it will be announced before the Austria pre-season camp it could be announced on Monday.

    I'll not comment until I've given the new guys a chance to show what they are capable of at a higher level, that's not a pop at Shepheard you can only perform at what level the team play in, it will be interesting to see if the lad gets regular starts at Barnsley.

    One and only time I saw him live , away to Norwich in the cup and that famous BCAFC victory . From memory he blazed a shot over the bar, aka Sarcevic in the last few minutes which would have pegged Norwich level…….Fortunately t

    Who is the trialist on the bench today or is it how we have to name Huntington as he doesn't have a contract?

    Tyler Magloire is one of the trialists. Born in Bradford so could be just doing him a favour.

    He played 21 times in League 1 last season.
    Don't see GA doing 'Favours'.

    Ruptured ACL and MCL
    Surely not one we would be interested in
    He does fit our criteria though
