Bradford City (a) Preview...


The Cobblers travel to Bradford tomorrow for a real six pointer in the race to stay in League One. Stuart Gray is expected to name an unchanged side for the trip to Yorkshire but Pedj Bojic and Joe Burnell are on the comeback trail after appearing for the reserves in midweek.

The next in a long line of recent relegation battles, the Cobblers will need to be on top of their game to see off a Bradford side rejuvinated by the shock mid-week win at promotion chasing Bristol City. The Bantams have taken Moses Ashikodi on loan from Watford and he should start alongside fellow loanee striker Billy Paynter. Both scored in the Ashton Gate victory and will test the resolve of the Cobblers' stern defensive line.
Both sides will be relieved that Chesterfield have already lost out on the chance to gain some ground on the rest of the relegation candidates after defeat at Swansea tonight leaves them in the bottom four.
The Cobblers are still six points clear of the relagation zone but anyone can still be dragged into a late relegation dog fight and any Cobblers fan will tell you that you can take nothing for granted when it comes to our club!
