🗣️ Billy Sharp: “I feel wanted here. It’s a great dressing room and we’re playing a league higher and everyone wants to play as high as they can. To be able to still be playing League One football at the age of 40 will be a big achievement as well for me.” #drfc
✍️ Billy Sharp on signing a new one-year deal with #drfc: “I thoroughly enjoyed this season, getting promoted, winning the league - it all fell into place nicely. I thought I had a good season personally.” [@drfc_official]

Bradford City, Doncaster Rovers, Northampton Town and Stevenage are interested in signing Barrow midfielder Dean Campbell on a free transfer. #BCAFC#DRFC#NTFC#stevenagefc#wearebarrow
🙌 No outfield player in League Two has played more minutes this season than Owen Bailey.
🔴 Bailey has started *every* league game since joining #drfc from @GatesheadFC in 2023.
🗣️ Grant McCann: “I thought they were going to score again – that’s the feeling I had on the bench. Credit to the players, they settled down a bit, and in the last 20 minutes it looked like only one team was going to win it.” [@footballheaven] #drfc
🗣️ Grant McCann: “It feels like a loss… the start of the second half is embarrassing. To concede so quickly and then again a minute later, it’s just not good enough, I’m really disappointed.” [@footballheaven] #drfc
🗣️ Billy Sharp: “My dad told me I’ve scored four in my last three [away vs @officialbantams] – I fancied one today. I’ve been due one, I’ve been getting opportunities in games, I should’ve had more goals, hopefully I can go on a run and score more.” [@footballheaven] #drfc
🗣️ Owen Bailey: “Bradford are a good side but we’ll go there with nothing but confidence in ourselves and determination to bounce back. Everyone’s really looking forward to the challenge.” [@footballheaven] #drfc
🗣️ Owen Bailey on @officialbantams away: “It’s a really good one, it’s an ideal opportunity [to bounce back]. It’ll be a good turnout and I’m sure we’ll bring good numbers, as we always do. The lads are all well prepped and it’ll be a good game…” [@footballheaven] #drfc
🗣️ Owen Bailey: “We’ve been getting the ball forward into attacking areas. But it’s just being lacking that final quality, decision making, whatever it is. Key message has been can we be more ruthless and more demanding of each other in attacking areas…” [@footballheaven] #drfc
🗣️ Owen Bailey on Grant McCann’s message to the team post @bromleyfc: “Just being more ruthless, having a bit more quality in front of goal. I think a lot of the build up play has been good and generally, defensively, we’ve been solid…” [@footballheaven] #drfc
🗣️ Grant McCann: “I asked Jordan [Gibson] and [Luke Molyneux] yesterday: ‘who’re the two best wide forwards in this division?’ – they both said themselves, I think they showed that today.” [@drfc_official] #drfc
🗣️ Grant McCann: “You need to be able to score a different goal – a set play. Again today, we were really disappointing with that, overhitting crosses, not on the ball, not on seconds, so there’s loads of areas we can improve on.” [@footballheaven] #drfc
🗣️ Grant McCann: “I didn’t recognise the team in the second half - that’s just me being totally honest. I told them: ‘you were like a team of individuals.’ Everything we worked on over the summer completely went in the second half.” [@footballheaven] #drfc
🗣️ Grant McCann: “James [Maxwell] had his operation [Thursday]. Everything’s been successful which is pleasing, so he’ll have a couple weeks back home resting before coming back to start to work again.” [@drfc_official] #drfc
