Match20 Sep 2034

Bradford City out of the cup

Portsmouth ended it 1‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market25 Sep 2034

Callum Bates puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bradford City, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad25 Sep 2034

Marshall Murray says Bradford City went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Clarke Oduor, 35, rolls back the years — 8.31

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.31 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Player ratings25 Sep 2034

Nobody could get near Markus Baumgartner

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match23 Sep 2034

Bradford City see off Cheltenham Town

Three points for Bradford City, 3‑1 the final word against Cheltenham Town in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad25 Sep 2034

Callum Bates 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.

Squad25 Sep 2034

Tempers go at Bradford City

Zack Stritch 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.

Match23 Sep 2034

Kacey Wooster at the heart of a fast Bradford City start

2 goals inside twenty minutes with Kacey Wooster in the middle of it, and Cheltenham Town unable to get near the ball long enough to change anything. Some matches are won before the first drink.

Match21 Sep 2033

Bradford City out of the cup

Barnsley ended it 0‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Player ratings26 Sep 2033

A brace, and Omari Benjamin takes the afternoon — 8.25

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Omari Benjamin provided it, and the 8.25 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

The terraces26 Sep 2033

A cup hiding at Barnsley leaves Bradford City explaining themselves

0-3, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

Squad26 Sep 2033

Kayden Hughes keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Bradford City may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match24 Sep 2033

Omari Benjamin the difference as Bradford City beat Doncaster Rovers

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Omari Benjamin. 2‑0 against Doncaster Rovers, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Match24 Sep 2033

The run at home goes on for Bradford City

8 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Squad26 Sep 2033

The manager makes an example of Ibou Touray

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Kacey Wooster did the work nobody counts — 6.98

9 combined actions and 6.98. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Squad26 Sep 2033

Tempers go at Bradford City

Bakhammad Khadjimusala 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.
