I’m impressed

 

I expect a lot of changes and a proper **** squad of unfit journeymen.

 

City 3-0 Wezzies

 

A lot will depend on what team from both sides it put out. If they put out their full-strength team and we put out largely a youngish second-string one then it could go either way. I think we will see Cannon, Williams, Covill, Robson or maybe Thimothee Lo-Tutala , Wilks, McLoughlin, Alfie Jones, Elder, Covil, Callum Jones, maybe Coyle will play as capt, and either Tetteh or Oscar up front playing half a game each.

Here is a stab at a possible team.

Robson or Thimothee Lo-Tutala
Coyle, A Jones, McLoughlin, Elder
Callum Jones, Wood, Cannon
Wilks, Tetteh, Williams

 

Maybe not.

Mark Hughes! Fackin’ ell.

 

Let's hope Smallwood doesnt give our midfield the run around

 

The name Bradford means “village by a ford.” The first part of the name “Brad” meant broad. So, the name should really be “Village by a Broad Ford.” The name referred to a crossing of the Bradford Beck at Church Bank, which is just below the Bradford Cathedral.

Bradford is the world’s first UNESCO City of Film.

It is home to Britain’s highest water fountain.

It is home to the oldest concert hall, which is still in use in the UK.

Bradford is England’s highest city. It sits 554 ft above sea level.

The Jowett car was manufactured in Bradford.

The city invented school dinners: actually, the city was the very first place in the UK to serve state-funded meals. This started back in 1906 at one of Bradford’s primary schools. The meals were started due to school children collapsing from hunger...yet...

In the 19th century, Bradford became the international centre for textile manufacture, especially in wool. The city became a boomtown during the industrial revolution, which led it to becoming the wool capital of the world. In fact, by 1914 Bradford was considered one of the wealthiest cities in Europe because of its connection with wool. Much of this was exported through Hull.

Bradford City was formed in 1903 but the sports club that ultimately became City, Manningham Rugby League Club, were established in 1880 and were winners of the inaugural Rugby League championship in 1895. By the time of the change over from Rugby to Association Football Manningham had fallen on hard times and in 1903, after resorting to a series of archery contests to keep the club afloat, a more permanent solution to the financial problems was hit upon. Manningham changed code from rl to football.

Bradford City is the only League club in England to wear claret and amber, and nobody knows why. The first game in claret and amber was against Hull on 20th September 1884 at Carlisle Road.

Bradford City’s ‘Bantams’ identity arose from them looking like cocks, when the resemblance of their claret and amber colours to the plumage of bantams was suggested. They have also been known as the Cityzens, the paraders and the Woolwinders.

 

Cityzens…Hull, Manchester Bradford all named City all called Cityzens. Lousy, common names everywhere…

Although WBA is the highest League stadium above sea level, the ground of amateur club Queensbury near Bradford is, at over 1200 feet above sea level is around two and a half times higher than WBA’s. Bradford once had the most Rolls Royces per capita registered than anywhere else in the country.

 

Would be nice to see us keep the same spine of the team but give some others a run out too;

Ingram
Jones Fig Greaves
Longman/Williams Slater Seri Tufan Allayhar
Wilks/Smith Oscar/Tetteh

 

Id like to see us play a 433 or similar.. lets see some of this attacking football Shota keeps talking about.

 

Smith
Wilks Docherty Slater Cannon Williams
Elder McLoughlin Jones Longman
Goalkeeper ​

I expect Tufan definitely and probably also Seri to be given a rest. Estupidnan or Tetteh could get the start as a hopeful goal scoring confidence booster appearance.

 

The Doc is crocked.

 

I would play the u23 squad

 

Lo-Tutala​

Williams Jevon McLoughlin Greaves Elder
Slater Cannon
Covil
Wilks Tetteh

 

Maybe stick Wilks up top with smith, Williams and Longman in the wings and bring Coyle in at right back. 4-4-****ing-2
