Match16 Sep 2026

Bradford City march on in the cup

Cambridge United are out and Bradford City go through, 2‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Ethan Wheatley scored one and made one — 7.49

Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.49, and 2 involvements.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Bradford City

Stephen Humphrys was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces21 Sep 2026

Bradford City supporters have found a favourite in Joe White

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Joe White has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Joe White was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.02. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad21 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Curtis Tilt

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Curtis Tilt, and the manager let it.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words at Bradford City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ethan Wheatley is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match19 Sep 2026

Bradford City and Luton Town take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Will Swan knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Bradford City, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Ethan Wheatley, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.31

A mark of 8.31 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Bobby Pointon

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Lamare Bogarde in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bradford City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match12 Sep 2026

Ethan Wheatley sends Bradford City past Northampton Town

It finished 2‑1, and it was Ethan Wheatley’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Bradford City.

The terraces14 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Ethan Wheatley

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

A masterclass from Myles Peart-Harris

Marked 8.34 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Ibou Touray falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad14 Sep 2026

5 new faces, and Bradford City are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Market14 Sep 2026

Bradford City and Bobby Pointon are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market24 Aug 2026

Middlesbrough come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Bradford City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market24 Aug 2026

Harry Ibbitson hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Bradford City can pretend not to have heard.

Market24 Aug 2026

Eyes on Stephen Humphrys again

The phone has started ringing about Stephen Humphrys again, and this time the name on the line is HJK. Bradford City are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Bradford City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Antoni Sarcevic is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Bobby Pointon runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Bradford City

Bobby Pointon was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of Myles Peart-Harris at his very best

Marked 8.07. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Bradford City.

Squad24 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Jenson Metcalfe

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jenson Metcalfe, and the manager let it.

Market10 Aug 2026

Bradford City say no — this time

The offer from Sheffield Wednesday for Joe Wright was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Myles Peart-Harris gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Myles Peart-Harris has just signed for Bradford City, and for once the answer mattered.

Market10 Aug 2026

Middlesbrough join the queue for Bobby Pointon

Add another name to the list: Middlesbrough have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Bobby Pointon. The answer from Bradford City has not changed — yet.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Myles Peart-Harris stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Myles Peart-Harris and Bradford City agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Myles Peart-Harris in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bradford City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
