.... Will Andy tell them how to Cook us.

No good jokes this time, could it be my undoing?

Well, Cook can’t play so that is something.

Bradford on some run, 1 loss in how many? Possibly the toughest game of the season coming up

4 straight wins for Bradford, and 9 wins in 13 games since joint managers Mark Trueman and Conor Sellars took over

This will be a tough game, would snatch your hands off for a point.

Same team to start for me, looked more solid with mal and Gordon playing in their natural positions.

I assume Andy Cook won’t be able to play against us as he’s still technically our player.

Yeah, he's ineligible to play against his parent team.

From what I've heard Cook has been a focal point for them and doing it well hopefully this will disrupt them.

Bradford are a big club for league 2, with a stadium that holds over 25-000 and a average gate of above 14-000, over the last 17 years they have spent 9 of them in league 1.
So a big club compared to Mansfield, having said that our squad cost wise matches theirs, having got 6 points more than us and being were i would like to be top 12,
We need a win but our season now is to stay clear of any relegation fight, so for me a draw would be a good result.

Our squad definitely does not match theirs in cost, not after January for sure, quick look at our respective squads makes that obvious.

Don't see much more than a point at best from this one, as they are on an excellent run. That said, most teams in this league would have struggled to break down the team we saw against Morecambe, however a pub team would have ripped apart the team we saw at Harrogate a few days before, so who knows!

Our away form is better and confidence will have improved after Saturday. I'm going for 1-1, maybe us to even score first and get pegged back.

Draw at Bradford then win at Barrow will do for me.

Prefer it t'other way round myself. If we lead and let more points slip away the mood will be far more down than if we've battered Bradford last 15m and got a deserved leveller

Another really interesting game to look forward to. Could be a really good test after Morecombe didnt show up, or we didnt let them show up I should say. 3pts will put us nice and close to the leading pack.

This could be a make or break game against one of the divisions form teams. They have had a good run of form following an indifferent start and on the face of it should be favourites to take the points. However Andy Cook is going to be a big miss for them and that should disrupt their rhythm and dent their confidence a little.

Even with our recent stumble we have taken 23 points from the last 12 games and should take some confidence from that fact. If we can stay strong and concentrate, we should be hard to break down and I expect at least a point from this game. If things go our way, a 1-0 win should not be beyond us but that would be the icing on the cake.

With 16 games to go an average of 2 points per game (as achieved in the last 12) would see us on 69 points, so hopes of the playoffs hasn’t totally gone if we can put another run together starting tomorrow.

Fight to the end lads.
