Running on Low?
City headed to Stoke with high expectations following a last-gasp James Hanson winner against promotion chasing Rotherham at the weekend. The pre-kick off atmosphere was fairly buoyant in the away end, with the prospect of drawing level on points with the hosts if City came away with maximum points.
Pleasing all the people, all of the time as City face Port Vale
While James Hanson was the object of a pile-on celebration and City fans were the subject of the attentions of Rotherham supporters with the five minutes overtime goal that gave The Bantams a 2-1 win over Ronnie Moore’s faltering Rotherham side on Saturday I can’t imagine many were watching Peter Taylor’s reaction to the goal.

City keep their heads as others lose theirs
Peter Taylor was thrust into unemployment by Wycombe Wanderers last October with accusations of dourness to smart over. But in the three short weeks since becoming Bradford City’s interim manager for the rest of the season, the 57-year-old is proving there’s a far greater edge to his methods.
Another day, another loan signing as Adam Bolder joins
Adam Bolder has signed for City on loan from Millwall as Peter Taylor continues to make changes to the Bantams side.
Bolder – who is expected to make his début for the Bantams in the game against Rotherham United tomorrow – is a central midfielder who played 166 games for Derby County and brings to four the number of loan players the Bantams have at the club with Gavin Grant being a non-contract player and Matt Glennon having signed a short term deal.

Neilson joins Cambridge United on loan
Former Cambridge City winger Scott Neilson has joined Cambridge United on loan as Peter Taylor continues to make changes to the City squad.
Taylor has brought in Gavin Grant which seems to make Neilson – who Sven Goran Erikkson enquired about earlier in the season – cost City £7,500 earlier this season and replace Joe Colbeck in the side.
14 games to make a judgement on Peter Taylor
It was always a long shot, but Tuesday night’s 1-0 defeat to Aldershot has probably closed the door on any distant hopes of Bradford City making a late play off charge this season.
Luke Oliver joins from Wycombe
Peter Taylor has gone back to Wycombe Wanderers to sign the Ormondroyd sized central defender Luke Oliver as the new city boss continues to make changes to the Bantams side.
The 6′ 7″ defender Oliver has fallen down the pecking order at Wanderers since Taylor’s exit and is expected to rival Matthew Clarke for the role of clearing it out defender alongside Steve Williams. One may wonder where this leaves Zesh Rehman’s City career.
