Well there is only just over a week to go till the Bantams kick off their season against Notts County. The summer signings look pretty good, Michael Boulding scored a hatful of goal last season for relegated Mansfield and in McLaren, Brandon and Arnison we have enticed three players who played at a higher level last season. Goalkeeper is a bit of a worry, it looks like Rhys Evans is going to be picked up, which isn't too bad, as he looked quite capable on his short loan spell last season. Crespos favourite, Willy Topp, has had an off season operation to clear up an injury, and if Thorne and Clarke can stay injury free, this could look pretty bright. But the best news, for me anyway, is the scintillating pre season goal scoring form of the Mighty Baz Conlon. Three in four, and another perfectly good one ruled out, shows the Bazmeister is hungry as the season prepares to start. I am only disappointed that some fella on the "Barry Conlon Appreciation Society" on Facebook, got his picture with him at the Prune Park. Where were you Helmet?? All the bookies make us favourites for promotion, and I don't see why we shouldn't at least make the play offs. In fact I have guaranteed a few people a victory against County. 3-0 to the Claret and Amber, and I am backing my bold prediction with a crisp ten pound note (it would have been twenty, but the crunch has bitten).
