Tuesday evening match report
By Simon Parker (T&A)
City's JPT journey ended in defeat and a missed penalty at Oldham tonight.
Goals from former Bantam Tom Adeyemi and Shefki Kuqi eased the League One
side through to the northern final, with sub Craig Fagan also fluffing a
spot-kick at the end.
City, backed by a huge 2,500 following, had a decent early chance with a
James Hanson header but Alex Cisak tipped it away.
The first half generally belonged to the home side who enjoyed plenty of the
ball without putting Jon McLaughlin's goal under serious threat.
Ritchie Jones was fortunate to stay on the field against his former club
after a wild challenge on Luca Scapuzzi, Oldham's best player on the left
wing.
But the Latics took the lead on the hour as Scapuzzi's pass set up Tom
Adeyemi to coolly score against the club where he spent last season on loan.
City threw on big guns Craig Fagan, Ross Hannah and Kyel Reid in a bid to
save the match. Hannah and Fagan both had a go but Shefki Kuqi made sure
with an unmarked header ten minutes from time.
Jean-Yves M'Voto handled in the box in the 90th minute but Fagan's penalty
was high and ugly.

Tom Adeyemi helps shatter Bradford City's Wembley dream
8:00am Wednesday 7th December 2011
By Simon Parker
Oldham 2 Bradford City 0
If fans won matches, then City would be looking forward to Wembley Eve in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy now.
More than 2,500 had trekked across the Pennines to Boundary Park with the hope of seeing more cup magic.
Sadly, their fervour could not conjure up another upset win as Oldham – 34 places higher in the league ladder – finally put the lowly visitors in their place.
To add insult to injury, City's demise was started by Tom Adeyemi, who had spent last season learning his trade at Valley Parade.
Shefki Kuqi, the experienced Finn, then produced the finishing move with his 13th goal of the campaign before Craig Fagan fluffed a penalty at the end.
The watching Roberto Mancini, whose son Andreas was an unused Oldham substitute, did not witness a fourth higher-division scalp from the Bantams.
Fagan had come off the bench after Phil Parkinson made six changes from the weekend.
The absence of Michael Flynn and Ricky Ravenhill in the engine room hurt. Luke Dean got his full debut as expected to partner Ritchie Jones, who had been laid low with a sickness bug since Friday, but they did not have the same impact.
Former Latic Jones quickly found himself in the thick of it as his old club began strongly.
First he got a crucial touch to toe Josh Parker's cross away from Robbie Simpson in the City danger zone.
But then he slipped as Oldham attacked again, allowing Adeyemi to the byline. Fortunately, Kuqi fired his pass well over.
City, though, had the first decent chance, with James Hanson's header forcing a flying save from Alex Cisak.
Hanson then won the resulting corner but strike partner Nahki Wells steered it away from goal as he tried to flick on.
But Oldham continued to do most of the running. Jon McLaughlin punched clear an effort by Antiguan international Parker and left back Paul Black fired across goal from the edge of the box.
Then Adeyemi burst into the box and crashed into Liam Moore. As Oldham screamed for a penalty, Luca Scapuzzi wildly thrashed the rebound into the bulging away end.
Jones was a tad fortunate to only see yellow from referee Colin Webster after taking out the Italian winger by the touchline. On-loan Terrier Nathan Clarke soon followed him into the book for a foul on Wells.
Jones tested Webster's patience further with a check on Simpson. The midfielder was left in no doubt he was walking a tightrope.
Tempers were flaring but City remained under the cosh and McLaughlin was thankful Scapuzzi's close-range blast came straight at him.
Although they had not been seriously troubled in the first half, the visitors could not get on the ball and enjoy some possession.
City were defending well and Andrew Davies showed his experience soon after the restart to tidy up an Oldham counter after Dean's shot had been charged down at the other end.
But City's resistance was broken by a familiar face on the hour as Adeyemi weaved his way through two would-be tacklers before firing past former team-mate McLaughlin.
It was a fine finish but equal credit should go to on-loan Man City winger Scapuzzi for his pass across the box which picked him out.
Parkinson went into kitchen-sink mode by using all three subs and Ross Hannah announced his arrival with a good effort to test Cisak.
McLaughlin almost coughed up a second goal when he failed to hold Simpson's shot but atoned with a reaction block from Kuqi.
City needed inspiration from somewhere and Fagan drilled wide on the run. But any hopes of a comeback were dashed ten minutes from the end as Kuqi found plenty of room to ram home Simpson's free-kick.
Jean-Yves M'Voto handled Moore's cross in the box to offer a slim lifeline but Fagan smashed the penalty high over the bar and City's dream was over.
OLDHAM: Cisak 6, Lee 6, M'Voto 6, Clarke 6, Black 6, Adeyemi 7, Parker 7, Wesolowski 6, Scapuzzi 8, Simpson 7, Kuqi 7. Subs (not used): Morais, Bouzanis, Smith, Tarkowski, Mancini.

New Valley Parade book available
Posted on: Wed 07 Dec 2011
A new book which celebrates the 125 year history of the Coral Windows Stadium is now on sale.
Entitled 'Paraders, the 125 year history of Valley Parade', it has been written by David Pendleton, the curator of Bradford City's bantamspast museum and author of the critically acclaimed book Glorious 1911.
Paraders tells the story of the Bantams' home from its inception as a rugby ground in 1886 right through to the present day. From the fire disaster of 1985 to the FA Cup winners of 1911; the brief Premier League sojourn to all too many years in the basement division of English football. The full sweep of the history and development of Valley Parade is captured. Scores of previously unpublished images enhance the painstakingly researched text. Even the most dedicated Bradford City supporter will learn something new from this comprehensive history.

Paraders is much more than a history of a football ground. It touches on the social, industrial and demographic changes that have shaped the wider city of Bradford over the last 125 years. Priced at just £16 the book will appeal to even those who do not make the fortnightly pilgrimage to Valley Parade.
Paraders is on sale in the bantamspast museum on matchdays and at Waterstones in Bradford city centre. The author will be signing copies in the bantamspast museum prior to home matches during December. The official launch of the book will take place at Waterstones at 6.30pm on Thursday 8 December.
