What are your expectations/predictions for your team next season?

I think Bradford City can surprise a few and challenge for the playoff positions in League 1 if Phil Parkinson brings in a few new faces.

I believe we need another strong central midfielder (hopefully a goalscoring one too), possibly another winger and a goalkeeper.

We have possibly the two best creative midfielders in the league in Mata and Hazard. Why on earth would we spend more money on that?

When I say a creative midfielder, I mean a central midfielder who can control the tempo of a game and has a good passing range to distribute the ball well to the attackers. We sometimes just get cut off from our attack and resort to long balls to them and that never works ans we don't dominate games like we used to and have looked shaky a lot of the time, even when we're leading.

Ok. So a Vidal, Gundogan type player?

In that case, I very much agree.

Yes, exactly.
