Bradford City are back on the road on Saturday, as they travel to fellow playoff hopefulls Luton Town.
The Bantams travel to Luton, sitting 5th place in the League One table, 7 points above their opponents who go into the game in 7th, a golden oppertunity to take a firm grip on a playoff spot.
A real 6 pointer in Bedfordshire, Bradford City could open up a 10 point gap on Luton with a game in hand, on the flip side if Luton do the business at home they will close the gap on Bradford to just 4 points.
Both teams were victorious last time out, both winning by 1-0 scorelines, as Bradford beat Doncaster Rovers and Luton beat Blackpool.
When these two sides met in August it was Bradford who took the points winning 2-1, Stephen Humphrys and Bobby Pointon put Bradford 2 goals to the good, before Gideon Kodua pulled back a late consulation goal for Luton.
It was Matt Bloomfield who was in the Luton dugout that afternoon, but since then Jack Wilshere has taken the reigns, but despite this City manager Graham Alexander believes that his team still needs to focus om themselves;
“They have made changes, but the manager has been there for a while now.
“We just prepare to be the best version of ourselves.”
Bradford City also have a new look about they squad since August, with the Bantams bringing in 7 new signings in the January window, including the signings of Ethan Wheatley and Lee Evans on deadline, Alexander spoke to the media about how he thinks they will add to his squad;
“I thought we needed another body in midfield with just Max and Jenson as our sixes.
“Lee is a motivated player with an excellent passing range, he will add good quality in midfield.
“Ethan is a different option to the other guys, we have different options now.
“He has exceptional attributes, which is why he is at the parent club he is at.”
Both Wheatley and Evans are in contention to play on Saturday, and so could Antoni Sarcevic and Louie Sibley who have missed the last couple of games through injury;
“Antoni Sarcevic has been on the grass so we are assesing him.
“Louie Sibley was also out there today and in the same boat as Sarce.”
Another exciting game in the season of Bradford City, with the Bantams hoping to replicate the game in August.
