The latest Bradford City team news as Graham Alexander’s side gear up to face Barrow in League Two.
Bradford City are sat in 10th place in the table as they eye a late charge into the play-offs.
They are four points off the top seven with two fixtures left to play this season.
If they can beat Barrow this evening, they would take their campaign into their final day.
Bradford City team news
As per a report by the Telegraph & Argus, Bradford City are without Alex Pattison, Sam Stubbs and Jake Young.
Meanwhile, attacking midfielder Jamie Walker is suspended after getting sent off in the 3-2 away win at Walsall last time out.
Starting XI
Walker, Halliday, Oyegoke, Platt , Kelly, Wright, Smallwood, Gilliead, Pointon, Cook, Kavanagh
Sam Walker has been Bradford City’s number one since his arrival in January. He was brought in to replace Harry Lewis after he left for Carlisle United.
Brad Halliday has been in good form recently and was named in the Team of the Season. The soon-to-be out of contract defender is likely to start at right wing-back with Plymouth Argyle loanee Tyreik Wright on the other side.
In the heart of the backline, Brentford loan man Dan Ogegoke should get the nod ahead alongside Matt Platt and Ciaran Kelly.
Walker’s absence could pave the way for Alex Gilliead to start after he came off the bench against Walsall.
Richie Smallwood will be eager to use his experience to help the Bantams pick up a result away at Barrow.
Further up the pitch, Bobby Pointon and Calum Kavanagh will be looking to cause the Bluebirds some issues.
Andy Cook had a spell at Holker Street earlier in his career and has 16 league goals to his name this term. Tyler Smith provides back-up on the bench.
