Bantams to make changes

PHIL Parkinson is forced to reshuffle his midfield pack as knock-out kings Bradford City arrive at Boundary Park.

Captain Michael Flynn is missing through suspension after racking up a fifth caution of the season during Saturday’s 3-1 home FA Cup win over AFC Wimbledon.

With on-loan Notts County player Ricky Ravenhill unable to play in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy again this season due to being cup-tied, it means a likely return to a central berth for ex-Athletic man Ritchie Jones.

On the flanks will be two men well-versed in football at a higher level. Craig Fagan, formerly of Hull City and Derby fame, will operate from the right with ex-Charlton Athletic flyer Kyel Reid on the left.

In goal for the Bantams will be Jon McLaughlin. He is the third goalkeeper Parkinson’s side have used in the JPT this season — and he joined Oscar Jansson (Sheffield Wednesday) and Matt Duke (Huddersfield Town) as a hero after earning a penalty shoot-out win at Sheffield United in the last round.
