21 years after my first football match commentary for the BBC and 13 since my last, I’m back on the mic 🎙️ covering Bradford City today on @BBCWYS thanks to @JamieRaynor @jonathanbuchan & @_LouisReynolds
Come on City 👏 #BCAFC

@JamieRaynor Limited budgets perhaps? Additional hotel, travel costs? Dug out limitations?

Like with many needed changes in the modern game, surely this is one of them?

“I don’t see the difference between the Championship and League One or Two. The amount of games we play, the tempo of the games, the squad sizes. Graham Alexander believes League One and League Two teams should be able to name nine players on their bench. #BCAFC | #BBCFootball

@wadsworth429 @markg80 @JamieRaynor The manager doesn’t see it that way and I see where he is coming from. Fair enough from your side, let’s see where we end up 👍
English

@Bev1876 @markg80 @JamieRaynor Football isn’t about keeping everyone interested. Its about putting out the best team possible and winning games and away from home he make wholesale changes and doesn’t win games. You can’t keep everybody happy in football, the players know that and respect it

Full post-match with GA, in which he apologised to the travelling supporters after today’s display #bcafc

“If I’ve made too many changes, or not picked the right team, then I’ll look at that myself.” Graham Alexander explains his team selection after making five changes to his starting XI in the 3-1 defeat at AFC Wimbledon. Listen 👉 bbc.in/3ZL6FCD #BCAFC | #BBCFootball

@markg80 @JamieRaynor Well he did and we are done with today. I like the fact he keeps everyone interested. It may serve us well deep into the season. Fingers crossed for a better result on Tuesday 🙌
English

@Bev1876 @JamieRaynor You can't pick players that haven't even been on the bench for four weeks they won't be fit. Lapslie could have started ahead of sibley, at least he has been involved in the recent squads.
English

@markg80 @JamieRaynor You only get match fit by playing. We have a lot of players, I like the strategy of keeping everyone involved. It served us well last season with an above average age squad.
English

@Bev1876 @JamieRaynor Squad rotation makes no sense when there are out and out replacements and those incoming are not match fit.

We can announce Andy Cook has joined Sky Bet League Two side Grimsby Town, on loan, for the remainder of the season.
Everyone at the club would like to thank Andy for his incredible service to the Bantams and wish him and his family all the very best for the future. 🤝

''It doesn't surprise me.''

@MichaelVaughan @philtufnell Andrew Gale was next cab off the rank around 2009, nearly 9k runs 20 hundreds.
David Sales also boatloads of runs

Come on everyone .. Who the best player to never play Test cricket for England ?

Played for both ✅
Captained both ✅
Managed both ✅
Peter Jackson loves Bradford City AND Huddersfield Town, so what does he want from the West Yorkshire derby?

Today we remember the 56 football fans who lost their lives 40 years ago in the Bradford City Stadium Fire. As a former player & Manager of the football club it is still heartbreaking that this disaster happened in its history. My thoughts are with all the families & fans who are still grieving.
