Tim and Alex reconvene to discuss City's goalless draw away Sixfields. They reflect on City's performance in a game in which they probably shaded (between two poor teams), the strength of the defence and the decision to put white numbers on sky blue shirts

Onwards to League One!

City are top of the league at this time of the season for the first time in 40 years, and Jason, Tim and Alex combat vertigo to recap Saturday's big win at home against Crewe, as well as look forward to the run-in.

Before that, they focus on the bigger news of the day: chicken imposters.

Tim's under the weather like much of the City squad. He reconvenes with Alex and Jason after one of the first blank midweeks in months. City's charge is fading slightly, but they still have a chance to finally escape the division. The team discuss their prospects, and in the final section they definitively answer who from the 2012-13 team would get into the current team and vice versa.

Jason, Tim and Alex reconvene in the New Year to discuss a prosperous festive period for City where they earned 10 points from 4 games. They look forward to the January window and the glut of attacking midfielders joining the club, before finishing up with your tales of woe from arriving late or leaving early!

DISCLAIMER: This was recorded before the news of Andy Cook's injury was confirmed.

Jason, Tim, and Alex return to look back over the first part of Bradford City's season ahead of this week's FA Cup break. After their 2-1 home defeat against Doncaster on Saturday, City fall back to the edge of the playoffs again. Is this their ceiling or is the more to come? Jason also laments the lost tapes where he claims to have beaten Tim in a Bradford City quiz.
