Bradford City Pre-Match Views
Manager Stuart McCall: "I don't read too much into the favourites thing. I think that's just because of the size of our crowds. I'd imagine there are at least a dozen managers who are confident of getting out of this division. We've got our own focus, but won't be shouting it from the rooftops. But I'm happy with the squad we've got, the players we have kept and those we have added. It is stronger than it was last season."
