 What's going on guys from the Grimsby Game? One of two games, Bumps and Bruises, just a bit expected, but hopefully nothing too serious. We'll look after one or two tomorrow night which we're going to have to do with obviously Saturday in mind and hopefully they come through ready for that. Cydwch chi'n cyfnodd i'r unrhyw bwysig? Ni'n gweithio'r cyfle o'r dymian gyda'n gwneud. Ac rwy'n credu'n dweud unrhyw dda. Rwy'n dweud, rwy'n dweud o'r gwaith. Ond yw'n ddweud bod yn rai, ac rwy'n oed i'r gweithio. Ond rwy'n dweud i'r gweithigol, ac yn y gallu gynhyrch yn fany o newid yn ymlaen. Rwy'n i'n dweud i'r gweithio'n gweithi'n gweithio'n gweithio, However, there have been good elements of each game that we can take the positives from. We are trying to build on that. That's what we are trying to do for tomorrow night's game. I'll come on to the new signings element in a minute. But you mentioned there has been good and bad. You said there has been good elements. I didn't say bad elements. You said bad elements. having the good and what are the things that you can improve? Well I think from the Cambridge game how we wanted to try and play in terms of the number of attempts at gole that we had obviously not enough on target that was the first bit and then on Saturday I think we showed a fighting spirit it wasn't again the day itself wasn't conducive to how we wanted to play i'r cyflog wedi gweld yn ffordd. Yn y pethau newydd yw'r cyflog, mae'n hawdd yn ddiweddig. Rwy'n gael bod â'r pethau na'r hyffordd, ond, fel y gallwn ymdweud, rydw i ddodol y maes yn amser i ddweud o'r gwaith gwneud. Rydw i'r gwaith yma, ond nid o gweld maes yn y pethau. Ond mae'n derbyn o'r gwaith ar y gwirio i ddweud o'r gwaith. Rydw i'r gwirio'r gwirio'r gwaith. ac yn fwy o'r blaen pwysig, mae chyfnodd iawn i'n gael gwneud lle i'r cerddiaeth iawn. Ond os ydych i ddisgwylio'n gŵl hynny'n gwneud peirio'n gael ei ddweud? Ynny'n gael. Roeddwn ni'n cael pethau'n cael ei ddweud ddim? Nha wnaeth. Yw gydig yn commentaryhau yng Nghymru? Yna gynhyrchu. Beth gydig yn ychydig?

Has it been a strange experience that having these two sort of different deadlines? I mean just for us in our office we've had Bradford City fans phoning up and clarifying with us about the transfer deadline? Roedd hynny yn… Y knodd ac mae'r oedd ychydig i'n… Yn rhoi gwirchi'r club, ydych chi'n i'n meddwl i gael'r pram sy'n gwirchi'r pram, yw'r hyn sy'n ei ddod.

Alex Neil's built a very good squad, not just a team, he's built a very good squad. I think you only have to look at the players that have recruited, they recruit young, hungry players that want to get improved and then they have a sensible model there as a club. I was fortunate to go and spend the day with them when I was out of work and the work that he does is very good. He was very open with me and showed the footage of the opposition that they were playing that weekend. The level of detail was good, very good and he's a good manager that's obviously managed in the premiership. It'll be a tough, tough challenge for us because like I say, whatever team they put out will be a starting 11 in the championship in my opinion. How exciting is it for your players to be able to test themselves against a club that's a couple of divisions higher? Definitely, we've just said that to them, it's a great challenge for us again. Obviously we played Wigan and then we played Liverpool and the different challenges that brought in this will be another one again. We're just looking at our players to stand up and be counted as they have done in the previous two games for us so far. You mentioned it at the start of the interview that you've got a couple of injured or tired bodies. Can we expect to see a bit of a different team for this game then? I'll be making changes. There'll be a few that will be forced and there'll be one or two that have found themselves a little bit unlucky to have been not in the starting 11 at the beginning. I'll be making changes for sure on that front because I've just got to look after one or two as well. So that's what we'll be doing. Have you had a chance to look at Preston in the first couple of games? Yeah. What do you make of them? I'd like to say that when the draw was made it was one of the toughest games for us because of the honesty of their squad as well. There's a real good British-based, if you like, group of players that are all of good age, good energy. Whatever team they put out tomorrow you could look at it and say, well, I could play on Saturday in the championship. Obviously, no one or two there. Brad Potts I had at Blackpool. He didn't play at the weekend so I was expecting him to play. So fully aware of what he's capable of. I don't think they'll play Paul Gallagher and I've known him obviously since his Blackburn days and fantastic talent and he's going strong still. And that's the level of players that they have in their squad so it's going to be a real good challenge. But one I'm looking forward to to see how we react and see how we go against them again and it'll be interesting. Plus there's no replays in this competition. Straight to penalties. No extra time. Does that change your mentality particularly during the second half? What do you mean to play for penalties? The formation maybe? No, we prepare from minute one. There's no point looking at preparing for penalties and setting your team up for that where you've got to try and take the game to Preston when we can. But I think pre-season has been very good for us in terms of some of the games that we've had in terms of our organisation off the ball and there's no doubt that tomorrow we will be tested on that for sure because they play the game the right way as well. The style of football that Alex has them playing and I can't speak highly enough of them as a football club as well. I think the model is terrific. They don't go and spend millions and millions of pounds and put the club at risk. The fan base is there. It's not a massive fan base but they've got a sensible fan base there as well and year in year out I think they've done magnificent and they then obviously sell the players that they produce as well from that. Of course in relatively recent history this competition has been good for Bradford but it is a competition that some fans and some teams don't take seriously. Presumably you are going to take it very seriously. No, we'll be taking it as seriously as we can do because it's the next game for us you know and obviously I'll be making changes. I've got to give some of the opportunity to try and break the way into the team as well and like I said we've got to look after one or two as well but I feel with the group of players that I've got available to me that we want to be working towards the model of what Preston's doing and so if the lads that I've got just thinking of me team there, the lads that will be playing I wouldn't have any problems in playing them in my first team anyway so that just tells you you know the level of standard that we've got. Chris obviously Gary the last two weeks you've had sort of Monday to Friday. This is the start now. Was it three in the next four weeks? Was that coming into your thinking a bit now as well? Yeah it definitely does because like I say it's a busy period now and it's difficult then to fit in friendly's as well to give the ones that haven't had the game time some game time as well so that has to come into consideration because you know touch word that we've been fortunate with injuries. We've got one or two with bumps and bruises but in the first two games we've been fortunate in that sense but you know you don't want to be giving someone a game three weeks down the line and his last football was back in pre-season so you know that does come into your thinking for sure. You've got to get those minutes to balance them around otherwise you can over egg a few early weeks down there and then sort of call that activity right up into the season. Yeah and that's it and you don't want to be putting any of them too much at risk in terms of that load either so it's all a balancing act like you say but you know the majority of them that came in this morning you know like you say we're all right following Saturday. So without asking the question are you trying to win the game? What are we looking for tomorrow? We're looking to get through we want to get through it's as simple as that and that would be no different if I was playing the youth team you know you look at what happened at Bolton at the weekend they had to play all those youngsters and fair play to them. They went and had a real good go and drew with Coventry and so you know Phil Park is and he would have wanted to win that game with those lads playing as well so it would be no different if no matter what team and no matter who the personnel would be it's the next game and we want to try and win it. I know there's some of you have made a point of educating the players and the heroes of the past and the history of the club. Have you mentioned anything about the team in 2013 because obviously there's nothing left with it now? No I think it's obviously when I first arrived we had a couple of meetings up there in the famous suite up there as well but it's on the wall. It's on the wall in their dining room now and they see it every day so they're well aware of it and obviously you know it's something that the club recognises and rightly so so you know it's hopefully you know it's an opportunity tomorrow for them to try and put something together for themselves. You've challenged them about that to create their own history. Yeah definitely you know that's the point of being here isn't it otherwise what's the point of turning up every day.
