Hammers Reece Burke and Josh Cullen could face Millwall in the League 1 play-off semi-finals. The West Ham on-loan youngsters helped Bradford City secure their place in the play-offs on Saturday as they beat Southend United 1-0 away from home.
Both played 90 minutes each as the Bantams held out to record the single-goal victory after Lee Evans struck in the twelfth minute. It completed a superb week for defender Burke, who was awarded with seven accolades at the club’s presentation evening on Tuesday, including the Player of the Year prize.
Likely play-off opponents for Phil Parkinson’s men in the semi-final could be Millwall, who have also cemented their spot in the top six, while Walsall and Barnsley are on course to be the other two sides. Bradford occupy fifth position in League 1 on 77 points while Millwall are fourth on 78 points. If both teams finish in the same positions after their final league game, Bradford will play their semi-final games against Millwall on Sunday 15th May – kick off 12:15pm – and Friday 20th May – kick off 7:45pm.

2 more players that don’t need to be old men before they play for our first team,
Burke proved this time last year he was a first team player with 4 excellent performances in a bad side under Hippo,
Cullen has the ability to be our next Noble and maybe another year on loan will do him no harm as we have an abundance of midfielders,
But these players need to play and for clubs that share our way of playing,
I think they are doing that and will continue there if Bradford go up. It’s the perfect way forward for them.
It also looks like Oxford wil go out too, and don’t be surprised to see Sammuelsen do the same.
We are going to need a large squad in the Europa League next season, bring the kids home and start playing them, not all at the same time but introduce them to the first team at suitable times….
Why would we even think about buying Smalling when we have Burke and Oxford.
i thnk the source for the smalling story is the brentwood gazette. ’nuff said. clickbait nonsense.
