Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jenson Gaitley

34 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.

Squad

Josh Andrews breaks a bone — 65 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 65 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

6 saves: Riccardo Piscitelli was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Market

Bradford City say no — this time

The offer from Wigan Athletic for Andy Cook 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.

Transfer targets

Michael Keane will not be coming to Bradford City

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Everton is saying, and nobody at Bradford City is enjoying the guessing.

Match

The wait goes on for Bradford City

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Transfer targets

Burnley tell Bradford City: Lukáš Červ is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout

No hiding place for De Lucca

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

Match

A bad afternoon for Bradford City against Reading

0‑2 to Reading, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Andy Cook is not the player he was

It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph a local paper has to write. 36 years old, 3 points down on where he was, and a body that has started charging interest on a career.

Match

Bradford City refuse to lose to Bolton Wanderers

A point taken on 88 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

Squad

Reece Welch signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Reece Welch commits to Bradford City for another 4 years.

Loan watch

Harry Ibbitson wants to come home

“I did not go to Cheltenham Town to sit and watch. I want to come back to Bradford City and fight for my place.” 3 appearances in 10 matches say the rest.

Player ratings

Will Swan stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.60 on the card, and the Bradford City support went home talking about one name.

Squad

Gullit Peña 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.

Match

Honours even between Bradford City and Bolton Wanderers

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad

Jayden Luker 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.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Jacob Stewart chose the glass-half-full version of 1‑1; the supporters left with the other one.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Words exchanged at Bradford City

De Lucca and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Bobby Pointon signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Bobby Pointon commits to Bradford City for another 4 years.

The dugout

Bradford City keep their word to Lewie Coyle

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Market

Tyreik Wright told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Tyreik Wright has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Bradford City.

The dugout

Josh Neufville gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

The formation has left Gullit Peña behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Bradford City will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Antoni Sarcevic

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Bolton Wanderers in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Market

Bradford City put Andy Cook up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Andy Cook may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Squad

Gullit Peña remains an outsider

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Bradford City would admit. It shows on Saturdays.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Tyreik Wright 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.

Boardroom

Bradford City close the window on a squad of their own making

12 in and 4 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Anísio Cabral rejects the move

Bradford City had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Benfica, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Transfer targets

The window shuts on the Emmanuel Adegboyega deal

Bradford City ran out of time with Rotherham United. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Max Dean

Bradford City asked and KV Kortrijk said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Still no ink between Bradford City and Jayden Wareham

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Bradford City, another week without a signature from Jayden Wareham.

Squad

10 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Josh Andrews

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

Squad

Nick Powell is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Nick Powell has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.
