The Telegraph and Argus' chief sports writer Simon Parker discusses Callum Cooke's new deeper role in front of the Bantams' back line.

He suggest those who are expecting the on-loan midfielder to magically morph into a latter-career Steven Gerrard should be patient, but that the 22-year-old could well grow into the role and flourish.

Another 22-year-old on the agenda this week is Danny Devine. The homegrown youngster finally got his first goal for the club against Crawley in City's last home game, and could that be a welcome springboard for his Bantams career.

Simon, alongside sports reporter Nathan Atkinson, also suggests that last week's postponement at Macclesfield Town might not be a bad thing, with Harry Pritchard and Dylan Connolly now potentially ready to return.

Finally, the pair look at this week's Valley Parade clash with promotion rivals Exeter City, with the free-scoring Grecians bringing a team containing in-form ex-Bantams man Nicky Law.
