Nobody could get near Jayden Danns
Successful dribbles: 34. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Anthony Clarke
24 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Bradford City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Ibou Touray: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Bradford City have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Match21 Aug 2027
Bradford City cannot stop winning
5 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Luke Harris is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Max Alleyne 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.

Graduation day at Bradford City
6 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Alexander Morris steps up from the Bradford City academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Alexander Morris has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Edward Butler steps up from the Bradford City academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Edward Butler has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
