and Amber.
TimHOST
Valley Parade.
TimHOST
The only team in the whole country that do that, I think.
TimHOST
Oh, Motherwell.
TimHOST
Might be wrong about that.
TimHOST
Well, the stadium I think you're going to struggle with unless you know it.
NormHOST
Well, it certainly used to be Valley Parade, but I'm not.
NormHOST
Yeah, Valley Parade.
JohnnyHOST
I think this is gonna get used quite a bit today.
JohnnyHOST
Uh, arrives in provide another boost as Bantams make in five matches unbeaten with closely fought victory at Valley Parade.
JohnnyHOST
I think Bradford City are going to win.
JohnnyHOST
I'm gonna go 4-0, Bradford.
Warren AshurstHOST
We're gonna turn our attentions now to the EFL because there's been some action, of course, even during the international break in both League One and League Two.
Warren AshurstHOST
And in particular, the big talking point as far as League One is concerned anyway, has happened over the last couple of weeks because Bradford, who were promoted of course from League Two and flying high at the top of League One at the moment, have lost their boss Graham Alexander, who's departed to join Preston in the championship and Michael Duff has been brought in to replace him at Valley Parade.
Warren AshurstHOST
Uh, big appointments for both clubs really, Dan.
Warren AshurstHOST
I mean, Graham Alexander did a fantastic job at Bradford.
Dan ChildsPANELIST
He's gonna be get buy-in straight away from the fans, and I can see him, uh, steering them to safety
Warren AshurstHOST
safetyYeah, I know a few Bradford fans who aren't particularly happy with, uh, Graham Alexander's decision.
Warren AshurstHOST
And of course, mainly because of how well he's done at Valley Parade, but I think they think that there isn't much between the two clubs in terms of size.
Warren AshurstHOST
We shall see how both Alexander and Duff get on over the coming weeks.
Dave VictorCORRESPONDENT
But Graham Alexander will be a tough act to follow.
Dave VictorCORRESPONDENT
The 54-year-old enjoyed success at Valley Parade.
Dave VictorCORRESPONDENT
He decided to go to Preston North End, where he achieved so much as a player.
Dave VictorCORRESPONDENT
Michael Duff will be in charge for the visit of the O's.
Matt RoperCORRESPONDENT
And it's this sort of defensive frailty that is costing us heavily at the moment.
Matt RoperCORRESPONDENT
We could, of course, be far better at the other end as well because I don't think on Saturday the Argyle keeper was hardly troubled.
Matt RoperCORRESPONDENT
The home form remains a big problem, but crazily enough, it wouldn't shock me to see us roll our sleeves up, play some deals and stuff at Valley Parade on Saturday and come away with a positive result.
Matt RoperCORRESPONDENT
Let's cross our fingers that comes true.
Richard KosmalaGUEST
But are they? And, and who knows? But, so as it stands at the moment, obviously it looks good in the table, but I am unconvinced that this Huddersfield Town is the real deal.
Richard KosmalaGUEST
But if we did this podcast after the Bradford game and maybe we've beaten you 2-0, we've won at Valley Parade and-
Dan FudgeHOST
We're winning the lot.
Dan FudgeHOST
It's all happening
Matt WattsHOST
It does indeed.
Matt WattsHOST
So it's looking increasingly likely that Michael Duff is going to be the man who will replace Graham Alexander at Valley Parade.
Matt WattsHOST
It's important to reiterate that at time of recording, nothing has been confirmed yet.
Matt WattsHOST
But if it is Duff, what would you make of that appointment?
Will Evans-JonesGUEST
Uh, and I deliberately sat in the, in the, in the Bradford end, uh, just 'cause it was a better view, and I tried to sit as close to the dugout as possible.
Will Evans-JonesGUEST
I remember leaving Valley Parade in the pre-season game.
Will Evans-JonesGUEST
We got beat 3-2, and I remember just thinking, "Okay, Bradford have-- Bradford approached that game like it was a proper fixture." Now, I don't know if North End had another one to go before the cup game at Goodison, but I remember leaving the, Bradford's ground thinking, "Okay, that is a well-oiled machine," and they've got players that know where to be, and they could mix it up, and they had a proper squad.
Will Evans-JonesGUEST
And o-okay, we played some decent stuff, so I think I, I, I seem to remember Andy Moran playing pretty well in that pre-season.
13 MINS LATER
Will Evans-JonesGUEST
There was a good deal on.
George HodgsonHOST
Yeah.
Will Evans-JonesGUEST
Um, and I think there was like 20-odd thousand there at Valley Parade.
Will Evans-JonesGUEST
So he's, so he, he, he's, he's happy, uh, and he, he probably drives on that or strives on that, sorry, um, that pressure.
Don GoodmanGUEST
I was still an electrician.
Don GoodmanGUEST
I had to get the afternoon off work, uh, to get across to Valley Parade, um, and make my debut as a seventeen-year-old.
Don GoodmanGUEST
So, um, two games from the end of the season, I came on as a sub for the last twenty minutes, and then he brought, brought me on as a sub at the following game, uh, for the last twenty minutes again.
Don GoodmanGUEST
Great experience.
Stuart DeaconsHOST
Historically, maybe.
Stuart DeaconsHOST
But Bradford still think because they get £25,000, In Valley Parade, they're a big club.
Stuart DeaconsHOST
Let's not cut around the shit.
Stuart DeaconsHOST
They basically invite everyone in at such low prices.
Stuart RaynerPANELIST
I don't think it's just the case of he's improved the team.
Stuart RaynerPANELIST
I think it's probably hard to overstate what a big psychological hurdle that club had at Valley Parade.
Stuart RaynerPANELIST
Before Alexander came in, it wasn't that they were losing games hand over fist, but their win percentage was way below what it should have been.
Stuart RaynerPANELIST
And you got the sense there was a real fear of failure there at home.
Leon WobschallPANELIST
So there'll be plenty of other candidates as well.
Leon WobschallPANELIST
But it's a good job for somebody, isn't it? Obviously, it's out of the top of the league.
Leon WobschallPANELIST
Stuart's right to speak about the Valley Parade factor.
Leon WobschallPANELIST
It was...
