Bradford City HubBradford City's Graham Alexander expects high standards from his team right from the start of pre-season training. The squad returns to Woodhouse Grove to begin the build-up towards the 2026/27 campaign.
What are the expectations?
Alexander insists the players must be on it from the start, having reached the play-offs on the back of finishing fourth. The bar has been set high for City's second season back in the third tier.
How does the team prepare?
A lot of work has to go into it, says Alexander, and the players will understand the competition first to get into the team and then the competition they will face every week. The Bantams had less time off than last summer because of their semi-final involvement.
What's the current situation?
As of 29 Jun 2026, Bradford City's league standing is 4th in League One, with 77 points from 46 games, and a recent form of WDDDL. Their goal difference is +7, with 58 scored and 51 conceded. They finished 26 points behind leaders Lincoln.
