No sign of nerves from Kieran Morgan at 20 — 7.88

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Kieran Morgan did not need any: 7.88, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

The terraces9 Nov 2026

The crowd has taken to Kieran Morgan

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.

Match7 Nov 2026

Kieran Morgan the difference as Bradford City beat Rotherham United

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Kieran Morgan. 2‑0 against Rotherham United, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Joe Wright signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Joe Wright and Bradford City agree another 3 years.

The afternoon belonged to Brad Potts

A mark of 7.99, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

A satisfied Charles Pearson

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑0, Charles Pearson could afford to be generous.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Lee Evans

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

Squad9 Nov 2026

Oakley Cannonier is a square peg at Bradford City

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Kieran Morgan scores his first for Bradford City

The one goal every signing is asked about until it comes. It has come, and a press-conference question has been retired.

Match26 Sep 2026

Bradford City tear Exeter City apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Exeter City, and it could have been more.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

A brace, and Jayden Wareham takes the afternoon — 9.06

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Jayden Wareham provided it, and the 9.06 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Up for the corner, and Lee Evans delivers — 7.29

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Lee Evans scored, was marked 7.29, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

The terraces28 Sep 2026

One of their own: Bobby Pointon

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match22 Sep 2026

Bradford City come up short against Leyton Orient

Leyton Orient left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Bobby Pointon was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.29. 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.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Tyreik Wright

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Bradford City

Lee Evans and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Charles Pearson kept it short after the 3‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.
