Overnight Stay For Bantams

Bradford City will travel down tomorrow for an overnight stay prior to their match at Edgar Street on Saturday, according to the Telegraph & Argus.

Travel problems blighted their trip to Shrewsbury, a game they lost, but they will make no mistakes in travel arrangements this time with an overnight stop with McCall telling the paper: "A few things cropped up on the day which may have affected us. I don't want to make excuses but our preparation wasn't ideal. Hereford is a bit further on so at least by staying down overnight, we will be prepared correctly.

"The boys have trained well this week, though I know it doesn't always go hand-in-hand with how you are going to play, but I had a good feeling before we went to Lincoln and won and I'm quite confident again. You can't give people belief and confidence, that's got to grow with results and the lads are looking good."

On the Bulls, McCall acknowledged the poor form at Edgar Street: "It's probably better to be playing them at home at the minute. The further we get into the season, the more we know about teams and players and can give the lads a better idea of their shape and tactics. That's beginning to help us and that's why it was important to see them in the last home game. The stats suggest Hereford don't concede many and we'll have to look at ways to break them down."

The paper also reports that McCall attempted to sign Theo Robinson in the summer prior to his Bulls arrival.
