Match Preview
Branston set for Bantams bow Bradford summer signing Guy Branston is poised for his competitive debut in the home clash with Aldershot. Branston, a free signing from Torquay in June, has been installed as club skipper and is expected to take his place at the heart of defence. Manager Peter Jackson must decide who will partner Branston as both Steve Williams (thigh) and Luke Oliver (foot) have been struggling with injury during pre-season. Neither player has been ruled out, but may have to settle for a place on the substitutes' bench alongside midfielder Ritchie Jones, a free summer signing from Oldham, who has been nursing a calf strain. Jackson will be without former captain Simon Ramsden, who missed most of last season due to related hip and calf injuries and is now struggling with a groin problem. Ross Hannah and Mark Stewart are hoping to start alongside each other up front and fellow summer signings Jack Compton, goalkeeper Martin Hanson, midfielder Chris Mitchell and striker Nialle Rodney are all hoping to make their debuts. Luke Guttridge is doubtful for Aldershot. The midfielder suffered a medial ligament injury during the Shots' recent friendly victory over Stoke. Summer signings Jamie Collins - who is fit after an ankle knock - Anthony Pulis, Graeme Montgomery or Reading loanee Jake Taylor could step in if Guttridge misses out. Striker Michael Rankine, who joined the Shots from York, is in line to make his debut while defender Aaron Brown should start after rejoining from Leyton Orient. Jamie Young is poised to start in goal ahead of another new recruit, former Charlton keeper Ross Worner. Full-back Ben Herd will wear the captain's armband after Anthony Charles was released last week.

Match Report
Opening-day misery for Jacko Peter Jackson's first game as permanent Bradford manager ended in a 2-1 defeat to Aldershot. The Shots flew out of the blocks and took the lead in the 18th minute when Alex Rodman's left-wing cross found Danny Hylton, who finished coolly. The Bantams tried to get back into the game thereafter but their problems worsened seven minutes before the break as Robbie Threlfall could only head Rodman's cross past his own goalkeeper. Clearly spurred on by Jackson's half-time teamtalk, the hosts improved after the interval but Rodman was continuing his inspired performance by forcing an excellent save from Jamie Young. Despite impressing with their build-up play, Bradford were struggling to fashion any real opportunities as their final ball left a lot to be desired. They did pull one back as James Hanson headed Jack Compton's cross home but it proved little more than a consolation.
