Before going to bed, I'll agree with Donaldo that scoring is our problem. I think a draw is maybe the best we can hope for, but in my usually optimistic mood, I'll say 2-1 to the Rovers with goals coming from Mols and Sharp. If neither starts , Middleton, if he doesn't, Bailey - who else!!!

I'm busy in Lincolnshire again today.
Rovers 1-1 Bradford
Sharp, Moly, Olusanya to score ⚽

Likely to be a very tight game. It feels like a 1-1 but I'll be optimistic and predict 2-1 to Rovers. Bailey again.

2-0 to Bradford

By the time I got up and switched on my computer, it was 1-1! However I saw the goals at half-time. TLT must be embarrassed with that one, and how often does one see a bullet header from Mols?
You know I have not been a fan of Giibbo, but if he keeps playing like today, I'll be converted. By far the man-of-the-match with a great goal and assist.
We really should have been out-of-sight by half-time, but with the defence playing well, it did not matter. I thought Clifton played well again - OK, maybe he should have scored, but I agree with his appeal that it was deflected by the Bradford foot, or even struck by that foot before Clifton completed his attempt and it should have been a corner.
O'Riordan played well out of position, and I liked him in one game when he was in the middle with McGrath.
All the starting eleven played well, but Maxwell cetainly got "leggy" and was taken off.
I'm not sure about the guy from the MLS as he seems somewhat clumsy and fouls too easily. I still do not see the pace Grant talked about.
We have certainly got better results earlier than I would have expected, but think what it will be like if we start scoring goals like today.

Probably the best game of the season so far for us. A bit experimental from GM but it paid off.
It begs the question " Will we actually be better off getting into the championship?"
Especially if the Blades and Owls get relegated.

We were so impressive in the first half that I could hardly believe it.
I suppose Bradford, though not a bunch of “has beens”, were players they had acquired because of their proven ability, ability that may have peaked in some cases. You could discern that quality that is visible in a player who used to be “class”, but whose best days were behind him.

Powers for example has been around for a long time and our own Joe Wright and Brad Halliday and several of the names were of familiar prominent League 1 and 2 players. I reckon too that TSL would have got down and across to both the second and third goals.

Talking of GKs, TLT did gift them their goal without a doubt and his style is based around his speed of reaction and movement often preferring to stay on his line and reacting quickly, possibly because he is on the small side. You could say that he has yet to be tested really intensively.

It's ten year's today since we sacked Paul Dickov.
Did he ever get another manager's job ? 🤔

Funny you should ask that as when discussing our last time in the Championship after Saturday's game, my wife Pauline asked me the same question, and I do not know.
On the EFL website today, Gibbo was the League One Player-of-the-Week!
