The League Two table may appear to be a pleasant sight for Bradford City, but it is totally off limits to Graham Alexander.
City, along with Notts County, are the form side of 2025 in the fourth tier, and an eighth home win against Accrington Stanley on Tuesday – the last time they did so was in 1954 – moved them ahead of Yorkshire rivals Doncaster Rovers in the automatic promotion race.
Overall, the Bantams have lost only once in ten league games since Christmas, accumulating an impressive 25 points from the last 30 available.
For his part, City Manager Alexander is looking at the big picture.
Alexander stated, “I don’t want it to seep into our minds and create a sense of weakness, as if we’ve already done something.” “We cannot do that.”Look at it, then set it down. I’m not concerned about it; we’ve just added three more points, and that’s all I care about.
“If we want to be successful, that is all we need to concentrate on. We have no control over what other teams do outside our direct opponents.
“Let everyone else see, be excited, and enjoy. I’d rather enjoy the summer when we get there, but we’ll see.”
Meanwhile, chief executive Ryan Sparks told a BBC fans’ forum that talks between owner Stefan Rupp and former chairman Gordon Gibb concerning the latter purchasing Valley Parade are “not progressing currently”.
However, with the club’s £500,000-a-year lease set to expire in 2028, Sparks anticipates that talks “would be picked up soonish”.
