Good morning Bantams,

Welcome to the end of another week - it always speeds things along with a Bank Holiday!

Let's get into that Friday feeling by talking about the winning mentality that City's new recruits will bring to the dressing room.

As three recent promotion winners, Graham Alexander believes the new arrivals have got that culture where they expect to win every game.

One thing we all want to see change next season is the casualty list.

You'll obviously never escape injuries in football but Alexander believes City can reduce the number of "soft-tissue" setbacks the squad have suffered.

A familiar face could be prowling the Valley Parade touchline again next season - and I don't mean Mark Hughes!

It sounds like Michael Flynn has landed himself another management job in League Two. Click HERE for details.

That's it for now but keep an eye on the T&A website today and over the weekend for more City updates.

And, who knows, there might even be news of another signing ... 😉

This newsletter is taking a few weeks off now to disappear somewhere hot, sunny and all inclusive! 😎

But we'll be back in time for City's return to pre-season.

See you again soon,

Simon Parker
