Jackson goes on attack first for Bradford City: 'Going away from home doesn't bother me'
Blimey, we've hardly got over Luke Prosser's late equaliser at Port Vale before Bantams interim boss Peter Jackson is reminding us of the Roots Hall League Two clash on Friday evening. Peter Jackson; not a shy and retiring type of blokeBradford City interim boss Peter Jackson has never been known to do anything but to come out fighting whatever the situation, and a mere 236-mile Friday night trip to south-east Essex is not going to change any of that.Especially as points are still needed to make sure the bottom tier's best supported club stays playing League football next season, which is still not guaranteed after a horrible 3-0 reverse to play-off challengers Torquay United last Saturday at Valley Parade.The Bantams remain a half-dozen points above the relegation zone with six games remaining, which should see them OK, but the West Yorkshire travelling faithful, and there will be enough to make a noise, will know a win will see them above that iconic 50-point mark. Jackson told the Press Association: "Friday is now another big game for us. But we've had two good wins away from home since I've been in charge, so going away from home doesn't bother me. We have to be positive and look forward to the game."Jackson is also hoping welcome back joint top scorer James Hanson from a hamstring injury that made him miss the heavy home defeat to the Gulls.The local born striker would hope to add to the 9 goals he's already grabbed this term.He continued: "I think James was a big miss for us, you could see that at various points in the game. He would be a big miss for most sides, but especially for a side like us who have been struggling for goals this season."Bottom of League Two15Morecambe41678242873102432131018486049-1216Hereford United41410722278392534121316476149-1417Cheltenham Town4166924306682942121217537248-1918Bradford City4092923235312153014521385347-1519Macclesfield Town41651024356682833121118526847-1620Lincoln City41741018366311253613721437246-2921Northampton Town4178636312810173391616536443-1122Burton Albion39866302725121635101118466241-1623Barnet417410273337102335101120506841-1824Stockport County41410728484214154081221438836-45
