Bradford V Crawley Town at Coral Windows Stadium : Match Preview

Kozluk banned for Bantams Bradford defender Rob Kozluk will miss the home game with Crawley through suspension. Kozluk was sent off for two yellow cards in last week's defeat at Bristol Rovers and sits out a one-game ban. Manager Phil Parkinson has several options, with Andrew Davies and Chris Mitchell both able to fill in at right-back, while Marcel Seip could switch flanks from the left allowing Robbie Threlfall to step into the left-back slot. Central defender Luke Oliver is hoping to return to contention after missing the last two games with a hamstring strain and winger Kyel Reid is pushing for a recall to the starting line-up after returning to the bench following a similar problem. Midfielder Michael Flynn is another week away from a possible comeback following his illness, while defender Simon Ramsden will be sidelined for another fortnight due to a broken toe. Billy Clarke and Karl Hawley will vie to make their Crawley debut. Clarke has joined the Red Devils from Blackpool and fellow striker Hawley arrived on loan from Notts County until the end of the season. One of the new boys is likely to start alongside Tyrone Barnett in attack as Crawley attempt to fill the void left by top scorer Matt Tubbs' move to Bournemouth on Monday. There will be a further change on the bench after midfielder Ben Smith joined Aldershot on loan. But boss Steve Evans has no new injury worries and will not veer too much from the side which beat Hull last Saturday in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
