Big game!!

I’m probably the same as everyone else and expecting nothing other than an emphatic Bradford win but I’m hoping that the players have had a kick up the proverbial and come out all guns blazing and give us an unexpected win.

I’ll be watching on the telly with everything crossed.

Reasons to be optimistic:

Notts under Stuart Maynard have two 3-0 wins over Bradford.
Richard Smallwood, their captain, is suspended.
We are seemingly better away from home.

Reasons to be pessimistic:

Bradford have the best home form in the division, they’ve only failed to win 5 times (D3 L2) at Valley Parade.
From the current top 10 we have only beaten Grimsby away from home.
Our current form against anyone decent is bad.

I do think we need a win to make up for the back-to-back losses, but it’s a tough game so I'd take a point (assuming we can then win on Easter Monday). I don't think they'll be massive changes to the first 11 but I do wonder if Jodi will start this one, he looked well of the pace against Salford though.
