Bradford City v Walsall – Consistency of both thought and form vital for Bantams, says Stuart McCall
Last week started with a televised defeat to Harrogate Town at Valley Parade – something else the Bantams had not experienced in League Two since last October – but ended with a 3-1 win at Mansfield Town.
On-field consistency is always hard to achieve in the Football League, where the games come thick and fast, but McCall says it is important his players stay on a level mentally.

“Just as we weren’t down and out after four games because we’d lost at home, we’re not swinging from the rafters thinking we’re brilliant because we’ve won an away game.”
The Bantams could be boosted by the return of Levi Sutton, Reece Staunton and Paudie O’Connor, who has completed a three-match suspension, but probably not Zeli Ismail and Gareth Evans, still troubled by hamstring injuries.
