@BantamsHeritage Actually chanted at some Boro fans last night in jest when at Marylebone - “Oli McBurnie, he’s one of our own”. Imagine if he came back? From a scrawny teenager being lamped in professional football to the ultimate target man? Prime big Jim

The boy from the #bcafc academy scores the winning goal in the Championship play-off final - at the same end where City legend Dean Windass did it for Hull City too! 🤝

@JamieRaynor I know he’s had his detractors - “average L2 CB not good enough for L1” - but I’m going to miss him. Arguably put in the best centre back performance of the year, Lincoln at home, and was a stalwart in the L2 years. Think he can still stay in L1 and wish him every success!

“The journey was not easy and of course there were some challenges and injuries to overcome but to come through all of that with a promotion medal around my neck is something I will never forget and something I’m extremely proud of.” A farewell message from Ciarán Kelly. #bcafc

@bowers_bcafc12 Sarc, Baldwin and T Wright being offered new deals and everyone else being released. I’d also like us to scrutinise those under contract and whether they will contribute next season… being honest this a direct question on the efficacy of keeping Humps!

Everyone’s offer contracts and outs then???? #bcafc

@JohnHutchinson @DavidSharpe91 @officialbantams How many loan players arriving L1 in the January transfer window have had an impact?Can only think of two, Kenny (Celtic to Bolton) & Palmer (Hull to Luton), which shows the high probability unless-flush with cash-of securing decent reinforcements!?

Hi @DavidSharpe91 we are now all ready and waiting for you to explain @officialbantams January transfer window. We should have been challenging autos. Instead we are playing Bromley. Again. Not a single loan player made bench tonight. That’s just shocking #bcafc

@LondonBantam How the Kayden breaking through and being dragged down was not given is utterly baffling given he shelled out a Yellow for Neufville for something similar!?

@ChrisHilton83 Ditto, more nervous about the playoffs. I would not be surprised, my own view, where everyone around us will draw with the exception of Plymouth whom will sneak into the 6th spot.

Is anyone else just not that nervous today? Polar opposite to last seasons last game, don’t know if I’ve got a calm confidence about today or whether it’s because I think whatever happens we’ve had a great first season back in League One #bcafc

@nathanevans94 @officialbantams @bantamsbanter @Thecityvent @TheWidthofaPost @JamieRaynor @ParkerTandA Almost akin to the NBA’s 62 game rule, e.g. you have to have played in 62 games to qualify for the end of year awards, we should have a minimum of 35 games played for qualification in end of season awards. Why? Removes Tilt from the equation who in my view would be POTY!? Sorry

𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆'𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱-𝟮𝟲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 I'm in Spain from Thursday, so here's my shout for Bradford City's POTS. A very open field for 2025-26 given the quality in the squad! #bcafc Link & it's free to subscribe - tinyurl.com/3876vpnc

@JamieRaynor @BBCSounds @BBCWYS Finally, for epic levels of pettiness - nothing better than a sad puppy - but surely to cap the season is finishing higher than our erstwhile neighbours with their huge budget? Mind the gap 😉

A dramatic weekend to reflect on, a dramatic week to look ahead to. Back recording today, the episode will be available on @BBCSounds later. Anything you’d like discussing? #bcafc @BBCWYS

@JamieRaynor @BBCSounds @BBCWYS What atonement would be proportionate for pretending to be a L**ds Utd fan? My wife has set her heart on a property which was decked out in L**ds memorabilia so to chip the price I’ve feigned being a massive “White”. Paying Macca to urinate in all four corners of the house?

@nathanevans94 @officialbantams @bantamsbanter @TheWidthofaPost @Thecityvent @ParkerTandA @JamieRaynor From early part of the season tagged as POTY. I can barely recall a game where he’s not been at the races, whether left sided centre back and/or left wing back, paired with I always feel that we are lot more potent down the left with him in the side!?

Only two players across the Premier League, Championship & League One in 2025-26 have recorded: 35+ chances created 75+ tackles 150+ possession won 250+ duels won Bradford City's Ibou Touray and Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson ⚽️ #bcafc

@JamieRaynor It’s fantastic and my only improvements would be something gimmicky like Career We Go with Mark Bower on former teammates. In addition, touched upon during the last Podcast with your admission of your POTY, it would be great to get some End of Year gongs proclaimed by the panel!

Some great response to this week’s episode already. Thanks so much for your ears and continued company. We all really enjoyed this week’s recording. In addition, if there’s any feedback you have, please don’t hesitate to contact. We’re always trying to improve! #bcafc

@nathanevans94 @Hudsonweather @JamieRaynor Contrasting seasons to say the least - 18-19 bowing out of League One with a whimper whilst 25-26 storming League One!? What a time to be alive!

As per @Hudsonweather on the Take Me Home pod, Bradford's eight draws are their fewest at this stage of a league campaign since 2018-19 (6). City have also drawn just one of their last 25 league games, the joint-fewest since that run started across the top four tiers. #bcafc

@WSquish @bcafcwin Sorry Otley but was this not the same Walker that came out at least 12 yards - amongst a mass of players - in injury time to catch and hold onto a cross? My only criticism was for him to stay down longer instead of bouncing straight up!

@bcafcwin He shouldn't be letting the ball bounce anywhere near his 6 yard box. Reminds me of jonny mac glued to his line.

He’s been absolutely battered on social media, rightly or wrongly in recent weeks. But Walkers save yesterday at 1-0 should get as much praise as the rest for their 2nd half performance. Say it again he wins us more points in a season than he costs us. #BCAFC

@nathanevans94 @officialbantams @Thecityvent @bantamsbanter @TheWidthofaPost @JamieRaynor @ParkerTandA That is f**king amazing - we will finish with the same points total as last season!? Take a bow everyone at the club (though I think the old supercomputer is being conservative)

After yesterday's win away to Wycombe Wanderers, the Opta Supercomputer now gives Bradford City a 97.3% chance of finishing in the top six of League One in 2025-26. It predicts the Bantams' most likely finish to be 3rd spot (35.1%) on 78 points. #bcafc

@dannym97 @JamieRaynor @BBCSounds @BBCWYS Emailed the same question, though personally I don’t fear the current play off teams but more concerned on a late entrant such as Luton or Plymouth with wind in their sails!?

@JamieRaynor @BBCSounds @BBCWYS In the race for 3rd, who would you all rather finish 6th? I’d only be confident with Reading or Stevenage. We’ve been better than Reading for 180mins - minus 8 mins of madness (a) - and Stevenage games are always tight The rest in contention score too freely & heavily for us?

Back recording today after a brilliant Easter weekend. Your thoughts are very welcome - how confident of the play-offs are you? Available on @BBCSounds later this evening. #bcafc @BBCWYS

@JamieRaynor @BBCWYS @Hudsonweather @mbows23 The GKs going down, I know that we rely on this, is particularly frustrating as it allows the team that has lost momentum to regroup. The obvious solution, it would eradicate it, is that the GK is treated like an outfield player and escorted from the field of play!?

With no weekend football to discuss, this week’s episode will take a closer look at some of English football’s current frustrations. Time-wasting tactics, concussion subs, GKs going down, VAR in the EFL… How do we solve the issues? What are your solutions? #bcafc @BBCWYS

@chilternrailway what’s going on at Chalfont and Latimer - been kicked off the service to Marylebone (07:37) and does not appear to be much movement?

@JamieRaynor @mbows23 @Hudsonweather @BBCSounds @BBCWYS Is it time for a tactical evolution on GA’s part? With Sarce being withdrawn, the giddy excitement of Wright and Neufville on the right hand side against Mansfield from a 4-3-3, should we look to different tweaks? Perhaps the eponymous No.10 being introduced?

Back recording this week’s episode very shortly. Just @mbows23 and myself today, with @Hudsonweather honouring Peppa Pig World duties. Anything you’d like to discuss? Available on @BBCSounds shortly. #bcafc @BBCWYS

@nathanevans94 @officialbantams @bantamsbanter @Thecityvent @JamieRaynor @Hudsonweather @mbows23 @TheWidthofaPost With the International Break, hopefully Metcalfe can find his mojo but I would not be adverse - especially away from home - to have a midfield three of Power, Evans and Metcalfe. Metcalfe, with this technical prowess, could be that dynamic No.8 behind the frontline

@nathanevans94 @officialbantams @bantamsbanter @Thecityvent @JamieRaynor @Hudsonweather @mbows23 @TheWidthofaPost Though he looked decent & that pass for Tyriek’s consolation effort was sublime. Metcalfe has been off for the past few games, especially Tuesday where his switching of the play passes were on par with Tilt’s, which I think is due to lethergy. Get Evans in to allow Metcalfe rest

Since he re-joined Bradford City and among players to play 100+ minutes for the club since, Lee Evans is currently averaging the most: Assists (0.73) Successful passes (44.6) Forward passes (31.2) Duels won (12) Possession won (10.2) Tackles (5.1) More game time needed? #bcafc
