‘Stay calm’ message from Bradford City captain Richie Smallwood as Bantams prepare for home game against League Two’s form side Colchester United
City’s magnificent 10-match winning streak at Valley Parade came to an end on a hugely frustrating afternoon last Saturday against lowly Tranmere Rovers, who became the first side to win at BD8 at league level since late October.
It followed defeat against another side struggling in the bottom half of the table in Gillingham on the previous weekend.
Second-placed City return to action on home soil against the division’s form side in Colchester United this coming weekend, with the U’s, under the management of ex-Huddersfield Town chief Danny Cowley – now up into the play-off positions.
“We wished there was a game on Tuesday and you always feel better with a Saturday-Tuesday than a Saturday-Saturday which makes it a long week at this stage of the season. But the schedule is the schedule.
“They (Colchester) are fighting for something good as well. They will be full of confidence, like we were two games ago. But the confidence is still there after two defeats.”
City missed the goalscoring presence of Alex Pattison, Antoni Sarcevic and Bobby Pointon – not to mention Andy Cook – last weekend on a day when fellow promotion aspirants Walsall, Doncaster and Notts County also fortunately dropped points, for Bradford’s sake.
Smallwood continued: “We are still second and have got to try and concentrate on ourselves. We have got no control on anyone else.
