Belford, Clohessy, Barker, Prosser, Hills, Hall, Ferdinand, Grant, Timlin, Eastwood, Mohsni.

another quality line-up, bilel and eastwood up front, must be three points today.

 

[fredheim_holm]

Sounds good to me. Come on you blues!

 

[McNasty]

Same starting team as the team against Cheltenham. Good.

 

[canveyshrimper]

I'd like to see Phillips back in the side, but after Cheltenham keeping the team that won so convincingly makes sense.

 

[superblue24]

Kyel Reid starting on the bench for Bradford.

 

[RobM]

All looking good...we're gonna get spanked :winking:

 

[r16sby]

I can feel the nerves already, time for a 'comfort' break.

 

[Onion_Bag_Dave]

Come on you bluuuueeeessss!

 

[Cricko]

Filling up nicely at Valley Parade :unsure:

 

[MK Shrimper]

So who had the flu or was that some kidology from Luggy?

 

[dannypav]

Bit unlucky on Phillips , but makes sense to keep the same team.
Whose place has he taken on the bench ?
Was it Sawyer ?

Subs: Gilbert, Harris, Martin, Phillips & Benyon.

If it all goes pear-shaped we can still blame Gilbert :winking:

Kyel Reid starting on the bench for Bradford.

Good. Let's hope he's knackered from being alongside his missus as she gave birth.

So who had the flu or was that some kidology from Luggy?

I wondered that, he's done that kind of thing before. Chris Phillips said Freddy and Hills passed late fitness tests but no mention of flu victims.

 

[Smiffy]

Bradford have 2 midfielders playing in defence and a 35 year old 2nd choice goalkeeper. Must take the 3 points today boys.

 

[Evening Echo]

Blimey did you have that many pints pre Cheltenham? :dizzy: Yes, Sawyer I think.

 

[dannypav]

It's an age thing H , and it was a week ago......................

Yes it was Sawyer missing out

 

[dannypav]

I know he has to cover all eventualities on the bench , but we have Prosser and Barker who can play left back , so can't see a scenario where he NEEDS Gilbert to come on.
Should have kept Sawyer IMO
