Out of the players we've lost over the last 12 or so months, Sammut is the only one that I'm deeply upset and concerned over.
Whitehead, Bateman, yes they were 2 of our best and brightest home grown players, but can you honestly say at any point during their Bradford careers "We'd have won that game if Whitehead/Bateman had been playing"? I can't think of a single instance. But Sammut? There were games last year that he won for us.
Yes, he has a tendency to go missing on occasion (the occasion usually being him getting smashed by the opposition) but that's something that can be levelled at all players of his ilk.
IF there are new players heading to Bradford to replace Carvell and Sammut, I hope that they get here soon and are willing and able to step in and lift the side because I think it's going to take something special to save us from relegation this season.
