Appetizer, Wine Bar, Wine List
Soif offers an interesting array of choice appetizers. Especially good are the pan-seared scallops with potato risotto and black trumpet mushrooms, and the pan-fried local sardines served with lacinato kale from Route 1 Farms in Santa Cruz. Entrees include spinach gnocchi, stuffed quail and braised lamb shank—each and every dish paired with a suggested wine, and all of it fresh, local and organic. Soif prides itself on its eclectic variety of wines from California and all over the world. As well as featuring the well-known wine countries of Spain, Italy, France and Germany, there are also wines from Australia, New Zealand, Austria and Portugal. There is even one from an area that most people don't think of particularly as a wine region, the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. Cozy up to the fabulous wine bar and taste some of their eclectic assortment of wines by the glass or by the bottle. And the helpful staff will suggest something if you don't know what to get. BRAIN CANDY: If you're looking for that special bottle of wine, try Soif's retail shop right next to the wine bar. | Josie Cowden

Bar, Cocktails
Yeah, it's hard to resist this magical little haven. For starters, its address adds up to 11. (My favorite number.) But it's your favorite place, mostly because of the variety of cocktails and the originality found in them. Beyond the bevy of Kenwood Champagne cocktails are a kick—literally. Try "Death in the Afternoon" (that pernod absinthe in it rocks) and other hitters like the morimoto soba ale and the delirium nocturnum are also a kick. Of course, there's plenty to love about some of the place's bar food. Try prosciutto-wrapped asparagus or The Halfjoun (spiced ground lamb, feta cheese and pine nuts on baked flatbread) next time you're there. Cheers. BRAIN CANDY: Try these $7.75 Signature Cocktails: Holly Golightly (citron vodka, limoncello, fresh raspberries, simple syrup, fresh lemon juice), Le Pamplemousse (grapefruit vodka, rhubarb aperitif, fresh lemon, orange and grapefruit juice), The 515 Cocktail (reposada tequila, pomegranate-infused tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice and a sugar rim). | Charlie Price

There is a bagel to fit almost every mood—sweet, spicy, bitter, and sumptuous. The Bagelry understands this, which is probably why you voted them Best Bagel once again. To turn my blues to bliss, I like to have a blueberry bagel, lightly buttered. When I'm feeling fiery, I bite into a jalapeño bagel with tomato herb cream cheese. And if I'm especially hungry, nothing fills me like a guacamole bagel sandwich. When you can have one at your lips for anywhere between .80 cents to $7, the things you can do with a bagel at The Bagelry are endless. BRAIN CANDY: Best-selling bagel: Garlic. | April Short

Um, this isn't exactly a surprise here. Recently, I ate an entire, decadent, unbelievably delicious chocolate cupcake from the The Buttery. To. Die. For. Calories be damned, the cakes, cupcakes, and baked goods from your favorite bakery and dessert shop are nothing short of genius. For a birthday, try the Devil's Whipped Cream Cake, rich chocolate cake filled with ganache and iced with whipped cream. Divine. For a Mother's Day party, order the Tiramisu, rum and espresso-soaked sponge cake layered with mascarpone, marsala sabayon and chocolate mousse, iced with whipped cream. And while you're there, you might as well grab a baguette to go, and top off your sugar coma with an espresso. It doesn't get much better than this.

One day, I was out with a friend of mine. It was lunchtime, and he was determined to get Cole's Bar-B-Q. Nothing would stop him. He left me (and a few others) in the car, as he hurried into Cole's for his barbecue lunch. Out he came with a steaming bag full of deliciously smelling food. Everyone instantly resented him, because there was no way in hell he was about to share. I could practically taste the dripping barbecue sauce as he pulled out a meat sandwich, and proceeded to gobble it down in front of everyone. It made my salad from the local health food store look pathetic. Apparently, this is the norm. People get a craving for Cole's and they can't help it. They must get there. Immediately. And now I know why: the menu offers a tasty array of typical barbecue, including the classics like fries, coleslaw and beans. Hungry? Keep swinging by. BRAIN CANDY: It used to be called "Adam's Ribs," under prior ownership. | CM

Walnut Avenue's delicious breakfasts are no secret: just try going on a weekend morning, when a large crowd spills out of the downtown restaurant, filling the sidewalk out front with hungry patrons eager for one of their famously scrumptious morning meals. But once the wait is over, everyone in your party is sure to be satisfied, whether they choose a scramble, omelet, benedict, waffles or pancakes—all of which are as comforting as can be and come in generous, down-home portions. And remember, no Walnut Avenue breakfast is complete without a cup of their tasty joe or espresso drink. BRAIN CANDY: Was named Best Breakfast in Santa Cruz by Sunset Magazine. | Elizabeth Limbach

Pouring regular brews, seasonal specials and world-famous standards to fill the pints of the masses, the brewery also sports the outdoor patio with gaslamps as a favorite Seabright summer destination. Happy hour runs from 3-6 p.m. on Monday through Friday, perfect for the post-work wind-down. Friday night sees live bands revving locals to sweat out their alcohol intake, while Tuesday's infamous Neighborhood Night has long been a standard for the young, single and ready to mingle. BRAIN CANDY: The brewery has taken names for its beers from punk band The Supersuckers, The Simpsons, The Big Lebowski, and its current beer name from Spinal Tap—St. Hubbins Red. | Linda Koffman

Part vintage beauty, part pin-up girl, and all-around burger temptress, Betty has nailed the title of best burger and fries once and for all. But the real honor goes to owners Laurie Negro and Juan Valledor, the husband-and-wife team who owned Costa Brava, the taqueria that previously stood where Betty's does now on the corner of Murray Street and Seabright Avenue. When the tacos got old, they sought a more adventurous venture and got to work bringing Betty to life with illustrator Eli Roe and developing a scrumptious menu with Mimi Snowden, a local restaurateur, consultant and chef. From the get go, the team decided that Betty's would be a step above your average fast food joint. They use hormone- and antibiotic-free, high-quality meats from grass-grazing cows, the meat is seasoned with a secret blend of spices before being cooked, and is made to order and grilled for the customer. While their most popular item is the Basic Betty (1/3 lb beef, with Betty's secret "lube"—and, yes, fun innuendos like this are sprinkled throughout the menu)—there are a variety of delectable signature burgers and sandwiches also offered. One of the most popular is the Point Grinder, which includes sautéed mushrooms, blue cheese and bacon. But as meaty as Betty's is, it's also home to one of Santa Cruz's most sought-after veggie burgers—a handmade concoction of wheatberries and vegetables, grilled to a perfect crisp (called Tracks in the Grass). More good news: you can enjoy a burger with "Betty Boop gone bad" at BB's new 41st Avenue location, which opened in March. BRAIN CANDY: The owners used pictures from vintage adult mags found at the Flea Market to decoupage the bathrooms at the new Capitola location. | EL

When G. Love wrote "My Baby Got Sauce," he could've been serenading the best burrito in town from Tacos Moreno. With a line of loyal customers known to wind outside its door, the taqueria dishes out a famous homemade salsa that adds the completing touch to its heavenly burrito. Packed with your choice of savory meat (BBQ pork is a hit) and veggies, the Supreme burrito—yes, it's supreme—costs only $5.45; the flavor is big but the cost isn't.

Knowledgeable on the array of wines, cheeses and meats, the helpful staff will help you pick out the best pairings to have your next dinner party guests oohing and ahing.

Calamari, Comedy, Happy Hour, Outdoor Dining
It is no wonder that the Crow's Nest is one of the Monterey Bay Area's most popular restaurants. Surrounded by sandy beach and the Santa Cruz Harbor, the restaurant offers gorgeous ocean views from most of its tables. Their famous smoked salmon alone will keep you coming back, but the menu boasts of other memorable dishes, including upscale entrees like the Herb-Crusted Filet Mignon, the Broiled Australian Lobster Tail, and tasty appetizers like Dungeness Crab Cakes and Calamari (lightly fried in Parmesan herb breading), which holds the honor of best calamari in town. On a nice Santa Cruz day, there isn't anywhere better to be than relaxing on the scenic upstairs patio (dubbed The Breakwater Grill), enjoying one of the restaurant's delish cocktails (like the Guava Rita) or taking advantage of their popular happy hour deals, which are offered Monday through Friday from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. and all night on Wednesdays. Appetizers are half-off, as are well drinks, and you can snag a glass of house wine or a draft beer for only $3.30. But the appeal doesn't stop there: the Crow's Nest is also this year's winner for best live comedy—a role they've grown into nicely in the past few years. The sidesplitting begins at 9 p.m. every Sunday night, featuring three comics for a cover charge of $7. BRAIN CANDY: The establishment's famous, expansive upstairs deck was added in 1999. | EL

This place satisfies the palate with creative food, whether you're into spicy dishes (try red-oil, pork-filled dumplings) or mild food (rice smoked Chilean sea bass is delectable). I have recently enjoyed O'mei's lunch offerings. You can choose from noodle- and rice-based entrées (both vegetarian and meat) at affordable prices, and these are served in hearty portions. Plus this includes a "small plate" (such as seasoned beans) to share with your dining companions and a cup of soup for each person. O'mei's food is well prepared, from traditional Chinese such as Mu Shu to less traditional such as chicken with black dates and sweet potatoes.

Standouts here include rotisserie chicken (natural Rocky the Range, with honey cure or garlic aioli), moist and flaky Maryland crab cakes, and Harris Ranch filet mignon with natural bacon and roasted mushrooms (Harris Ranch beef is naturally raised in California). When I'm at Cruz for dinner and in the mood for one of its large entrées, I order the chilled artichoke as one of my two accompaniments. It's an unusual, tasty alternative to traditional side dishes. Cruz has won many accolades, not just from GT. In January 2010 it participated in Santa Cruz's seventh annual Wine & Crab Taste-off. The restaurant's first time as a contestant, Cruz won the categories Best Dish Overall (consumers' choice) and best experience (judges' choice). I got to taste the award-winning crab slider, a simple yet decadent dish that paired ocean-fresh Dungeness crab with sharp white cheddar and avocado. The flavor/texture balance was perfect. Santa Cruzans appreciate the many details about Café Cruz. These include serving complimentary wine with entrees during its February 2010 Anniversary Week, and showcasing Bay Area products, including Laura Chenel's Sonoma County goat cheese, and eggs from Aptos-based Glaum Ranch.

BRAIN CANDY: In the late 1950s, the City of Santa Cruz installed coin parking meters in the Seabright neighborhood.

It's hard to match the impact of Shadowbrook. There is, of course, the food, which continually impresses with its high standards. But then, you also have the unforgettable ambiance here, which continues to attract your attention. Is it the beautiful Soquel Creek, which the Capitola restaurant overlooks, that makes it so unique? Yes. But there's more. Whether you're arriving into Shadowbrook through its own cable car or heading down the steps of its lush garden path, every layer is steeped in a rare beauty and history. Empowering our palates for more than six decades now, owner Ted Burke's distinctly oringal culinary destination dazzles the senses. Upstairs, the Rock Room is delightfully casual, with an extensive bar, a fireplace and ample room for Winemaker Wednesdays, as well as weekly entertainment. But each room has its own old-world feel. But you already know that. And you already know you can't find better ambiance than this locally. (Read more in this week's dining section.)

Restaurant (Aptos)
You have chosen Rio Del Mar's Bittersweet as best Aptos restaurant four years in a row. One reason? Since 1996, chef/owner/Culinary Institute of America alum Thomas Vinolus has dedicated himself to creating gourmet-yet-casual food in a comfortable atmosphere. One recommended starter: the prawn martini, containing prawns, organic greens, candied lemon zest and homemade cocktail sauce. Another reason Bittersweet's the bomb: recession buster specials ($6 food, $5 drinks) and 2-for-1 happy hour pizzettas in the lounge. Pizzettas include savory toppings like Bittersweet's homemade sausage. BRAIN CANDY: Vinolus is also a successful community activist. He helped save the county's restaurant composting program in March 2010 when it was about to be terminated due to cost. He called local newspapers to get the word out, and people voiced support,ensuring the program's continuation. The program picks up about 100 tons of food scraps monthly; 50 participants include dining halls at UCSC and Dominican Hospital (and Bittersweet which sends about six cubic yards of food scraps weekly). | TFW

PARADISE BEACH GRILLE (Capitola)
GT readers awarded Paradise two honors: Capitola restaurant and restaurant of the year. Paradise contains many excellent elements and the sum is even greater than its parts, resulting in a top destination for both locals and out-of-towners. The restaurant's beachside location is prime, whether you're sitting on the patio or enjoying the view from inside the mural-covered dining room. Chef Stephen Hanecak designs delectable dishes like seafood ravioli in cioppino sauce and guava-soy-marinated skirt steak with cheese tortellini and Gorgonzola cream. Hanecak's high standards include using hormone-free beef from Kansas-based Creekstone Farms. Popular appetizers include these cheese-centered goodies: the cleverly named Beach Blanket Breadalon (a large sourdough bowl filled with smoked gouda, mozzarella, garlic, scallions, and olive oil) and the fruit and cheese platter featuring Danish Bleu, double cream French Brie and New York Black Wax Sharp Cheddar. The cheese is successfully enhanced by accompaniments including fruit (grapes, sun-dried cranberries, apple), salami, and garlic crostini. One of the ways Paradise supports other local businesses is by featuring many Santa Cruz and Monterey wines, including Bargetto and Burrell School. The comprehensive wine list contains more than 20 by the glass, perfect if you want to try something new without investing in a bottle. BRAIN CANDY: Paradise, which prides itself on being a family-friendly restaurant, serves all kids' entrees on pink and green Frisbees, which the kids then get to take home.

RISTORANTE AVANTI (Santa Cruz)
Consistently serving food that is beautiful in both appearance and flavor, Avanti is the go-to restaurant for many GT readers. Avanti uses only seasonal produce, cage-free eggs, and meat from humanely raised animals. Chef Ben Sims, who joined the restaurant in 2005, creates impressive dishes whether using vegetables, meat, pasta, or all of the above. His San Francisco culinary school training and experience working at a top Berkeley restaurant (or should I say one of the best restaurants in the country), Chez Panisse, has obviously paid off. Each season I can't wait to taste what he's come up with. I enjoyed a recent spring lunch with perfectly cooked gnocchi. And of course, there's the bread dipped in olive oil—oil so delicious that I, along with many other customers, wish I could take it home by the bottleful. Avanti's menu might have butternut squash ravioli in the winter (garnished with toasted hazelnuts and sage brown butter), a dish with fresh Brussels sprouts from winter to early spring, and a Santa Cruz favorite, cardoons—sometimes with Manchego— during the summer. Other ravioli varieties include beet with walnuts and greens, and wild nettle with black trumpet butter. No matter what season you visit, you'll find dishes made with absolutely fresh, local ingredients. Chef Sims is currently using Marin Sun Farms grass-fed meats. Highly recommended: Pappardelle with baked Marin Sun Farms meatballs, spinach salad with pancetta-wrapped homemade croutons, and any risotto that appears on the menu as a daily special.

Others prefer the glowing fireplace. Either way, the wide range of food from brick oven pizza or pot roast tacos, to Towering Pork Ossobucco with grilled Caesar salad is delightful. Wednesdays are karaoke nights, and live music can be heard Thursday through Saturday. BRAIN CANDY: On Tuesdays, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., a marvelous buffet dinner is created to pair with wines of a local vintner. | KP
Runners-up Tortilla Flats, Star of Siam, Sawasdee
Restaurant (Watsonville)
The restaurant's stellar menu is upscale and diverse. Two of Green Valley's appetizers that are definitely recommended: Kobe burger sliders and pancetta bacon-wrapped grilled prawns. The sliders have highest-quality beef, white cheddar, caramelized onions, and a delicious Dijon mayonnaise. The prawns are always cooked just right, and the jalapeño aioli adds a great punch. If you want to try the prawns with several other appetizers plus tri tip, try the GVG platter. Green Valley cooks up meat like no other Watsonville restaurant, with a prime rib that's absolutely succulent, and steaks including wood-grilled filet with a fabulous sauce containing 18-year-old balsamic. Even the salads showcase a chef with enormous attention to detail: the GVG house salad contains ingredients like yummy spiced walnuts. Combine this cuisine with top-notch service and you have a winner. The waitstaff is attentive and knowledgeable, even willing to tell you how certain dishes are made if you ask—all the while remaining gracious. If you dine on a weekend night, you can listen to live music by local bands. And if your early evening schedule is flexible, and you order between 5 and 6:15 p.m., you can take advantage of GVG's early-bird specials with good discounts and smaller-but-still-filling-portions. BRAIN CANDY: Executive chef Jim Hughes has worked with world-famous chefs including Wolfgang Puck. | TFW
Runners-up Cilantro's, Jalisco's, Miyuki's
During crab season I often enjoy a late lunch with half of a local Dungeness as the bright autumn sun shines warmly through the windows here on the wharf. I also love the broiled Oysters Verde, with salsa and molten pepper jack cheese. Pasta dishes tossed with clams or prawns and brightly colored fresh vegetables are served with a considerably sized fresh salad. BRAIN CANDY: In addition to the extensive menu of fish entrées, the specials board is also brimming with fresh catch exclusives. | KP
Runners-up Stagnaro's, Crow's Nest Paradise Beach Grille
Slow-roasted prime rib, eight ounce filet mignon, and 22-ounce Texas T-bones are just a few of the favorites that have earned Hindquarter the GT readers' recommendation for 22 years running. At this carnivore's paradise, the free-range chicken, St. Louis center-cut BBQ pork ribs, Texas BBQ beef back ribs, apple wood pork chops, and Chicago-style baby back ribs are all house-smoked. Even the half-pound hamburger is sensational. The bartenders are knowledgeable about the wonderful wine list, which includes many selections by the glass. BRAIN CANDY: Numerous vegetarian pastas and salads are also served. | KP
Runners-up Bluewater, Café Cruz, The Point Chophouse
Asana is more than just a teahouse. It can easily become a cleansing experience for the mind, body and soul. The aesthetics of the place alone will likely cure most of your stress. Art always lines the walls, and the music is relaxing and oftentimes live. They have wholesome treats to tantalize the senses including a chili lime shrimp panini and focaccia bread pizza. And of course they offer a selection of teas to aid any ailment. BRAIN CANDY: The tea menu expands several pages and includes a detailed description of each of their black, green, white, oolong, tisanes, puerh and blooming teas. | AS
Runners-up Chaikhana, Bloomsbury Tea Room, Asanti
Thai Restaurant
A calming respite from the bustle of busy Mission Street, Sabieng's extensive menu of tropical specialties includes sweet and sour BBQ, roasted duck, noodles, sautés, and mildly spiced curries, including yellow curry with lamb. BRAIN CANDY: For lunch, 27 specials ($6.25) make favorite study companions for UC students catching the bus up to campus. Favorites include the seasonal mango sticky rice, and Pad Se Ew, which blends your choice of protein with broccoli, eggs and black bean sauce. | KP
Runners-up Sawasdee, Star of Siam, Bangkok West
Vegetarian Cuisine
Tofu, tempeh, seitan—oh my! Dharma's has been serving natural and organic fast food-style vegetarian food to the Santa Cruz community since 1981. The cafeteria-style restaurant has become a vegetarian institution for locals and visitors, offering a mind-blowing array of tasty vegetarian and vegan options one might be hard-pressed to find elsewhere: burgers, sandwiches, desserts, sautés, pasta dishes, desserts. Now for the hard part—how to choose! BRAIN CANDY: Ninety-five percent of the menu is vegan. | EL
Runners-up Saturn Café, Malabar, Charlie Hong Kong
Winery (local)
Although Bonny Doon is a local winery, it's now known far and wide. With Randall Grahm at the helm, it's no wonder. This forward-thinking winemaker is also out to have fun whilst he's doing what he loves best—making superb wines. One of his most famous is Le Cigare Volant, a voluptuous red blend. I remember sipping on some in a restaurant—and not caring that my friends were running 30 minutes late. When Grahm moved his tasting room to its present location on Ingalls Street on the Westside, it was an instant success. And much of that success is due to the innovative Cellar Door restaurant with Manresa alum Charlie Parker as executive chef at the helm. Here is where you'll find not only gorgeous wine, but also inspired food to go with it. Everything served is fresh, organic and totally wholesome. So take my advice and get yourself a glass of Ca' del Solo and try something from Parker's kitchen—and guaranteed you'll be in hog heaven. BRAIN CANDY: Randall Grahm has written a book entitled "Been Doon So Long" and has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show. | JC

Steve Parkin was delighted after City rescued a point from a "hard day's work" at Sheffield United.
Second half goals from Gary Jones, via a deflection, and James Hanson helped the Bantams come from two down to grab a 2-2 draw against Nigel Clough's Blades.
City assistant Parkin was not so happy with the performance of referee Roger East.
Parkin said: "Some of the decisions went against us – tell us if we got any?
"I didn't think our front two got any protection, we had a couple of decent shouts for penalties and there was a handball in the middle of the pitch that really wound me up.
"We never recovered from that one and they went on and scored – I thought he was playing basketball!
"So being 2-0 down at half-time and losing Kyel Reid as well to a serious-looking injury, it was a really hard day's work for us."
Reid twisted his knee in the first half and had to be taken off on a stretcher.
City came back from two down to grab a point in a ferocious Yorkshire derby at Sheffield United.
Trailing 2-0 at half-time, the Bantams looked down and out against a rampant home side.
But they clawed their way back with two goals that won't be remembered for their quality – not that any of the 3,130 away fans cared about that.
Gary Jones got the first with a 20-yard drive that took a massive deflection to wrong-foot keeper George Long.
Then the skipper's free-kick crept through a ruck of players before James Hanson could apply the killer touch from close range.
City, who were losing at half-time to goals from Jamie Murphy and Harry Maguire, had to withstand some heavy late pressure to hold on to a valuable point.
There was one big downer for Phil Parkinson, though, as Kyel Reid departed the game in the first half on a stretcher – a lengthy addition to a growing injury list.
And that's it. 2-2 and the jeers at half-time have turned to cheers
Nearly there...
Five more minutes added. Hold on to your hats, in fact hold on to anything...
Debutant getting some stick from home fans over that penalty appeal
City make their final change. Mclean subbed by Gray
Corner number 11 for Blades
It's all happening in the City box. Miller draws McLaughlin out of his goal, ref ignores huge shouts for a pen against Doyle and Murphy curls just past far post....
Mclean goes down in Blades penalty area claiming he got caught by Maguire. Boos all round, gesticulations from City dug-out.....
Sheff U make their change, Coady for McGinn
Decent corner from Jones but everyone misses it and Blades roar to other end where McLaughlin grabs Murphy's cross at the second attempt.
But before he can come on... City have a corner!
Blades preparing to make their final substitution. Coady gets a good luck pat on the bum from Nigel Clough.
Thompson makes it a hat-trick of Bantam bookings after going in late on Hill
Sliding block from Yeates to concede a corner
McMahon rattles advertising boards with free-kick. McLaughlin had his post covered
Baxter going off to be replaced by Miller
Game delayed as the Sheffield United striker gets treated
McHugh gets second City booking for foul on Baxter just outside the box.
Gutsy block from McHugh from close range as Blades queue up to have pop at City goal.
Doyle going straight into the book for catching other Doyle, Blades skipper Michael, too high
Second City sub as Doyle comes on for Kennedy
Another Blades corner. Noise getting louder as pressure builds again
Doyle getting ready to come on.
All hands on deck in City penalty area as Blades turn up heat looking to regain lead.
Maguire highest of the lot to meet cross but glances header across goal. City escaped there
Big save from McLaughlin at near post to deny McGinn after Flynn pass opens up City back four.
Blades still going down their right all the time. Cross from McMahon too high for Porter at far post
The tone of my Twitter feed has changed quite a bit in last ten minutes.....
Midland Road is belted out with extra enthusiasm now.
Bates takes a whack and goes down. Time to have a breather - think we all need it!
My, my, my. Funny old game, football....
Would you believe it??!!! 2-2..... Jones free-kick, McArdle misses header but it passes through for HANSON to turn in at far post.
Mclean hauled down level with edge of the box. Cmon Mr Jones, decent delivery please
Blades make a change and replace Paynter with Porter
Stewards run behind goal to eject a City fan as tempers rise.
More life from fans and hopefully more life from team. Sheff United continuing to target City's left side.
City have a lifeline.... JONES shot from 20 yards takes massive deflection to wrong-foot Long in Blades goal. 2-1
Bates seems to have moved over to left back and McHugh back in middle. Suggests finding a loan left back will be a priority this week
McMahon crosses pops up in front of Baxter who flicks over bar.
It's official. Forget about play offs. We are now in a relegation battle. Come on City 👏👏👏 #bcafc #disappointed #badawayday— @BantamPete 18 January 2014
Yeates drills cross too high for Thompson. Flicker of hope for the 3,130 travelling supporters
Bit more about City now , at least the fans hope so as the volume behind the Sheffield United goal goes up.
Big chance for City as Yeates cross is missed by Hanson and Mclean bundles over bar. Hanson mistimed his jump, should have been 2-1 there
Crowd is 18,794
Vital tackle from Jones in his own penalty area as hosts threaten again.
Quick corner for Blades comes to nothing
I remember being worried when #bcafc had only one win in five. Now its looking like its gonna be one in sixteen, seriously worried #ouch— @GeorgeStead18 18 January 2014
No changes at the break but City certainly need a change of fortunes for second half.
This one is safely negotiated but the half-time whistle greeted with boos from away end. Sheff United 2 City 0
Lots of shouting and finger-pointing as Blades win another corner.
City defence being opened up far too easily
Jones drills it hard towards the goalmouth but it goes through the pack for a goal kick
Biggest City cheer of the day as referee awards a free-kick to the away side.
Baxter shot turned behind for another Blades corner. Panic ensues before ball hooked over bar.... so close to 3-0 there
Four minutes of added time to play - thought it would be more than that
Is it too much of an overreaction to mention a potential battle at the bottom if we're not careful? #bcafc— @aaronbower 18 January 2014
Former Blade Yeates getting booed with each touch. Gets into a good position and then the flag goes up late
City need something back before the break, midfield have got to get involved more. The absence of Reid's pace hurts
And MAGUIRE heads home at the far post despite efforts from Kennedy on line to keep it out. 2-0 to Sheffield United and City really up against it now
Darby, under pressure from Murphy, concedes corner number three for home side.
Parkinson getting agitated with ref Roger East. The current foul count is 8-2 in United's favour.
Good position wasted by City as Thompson shanks cross over goal.
Yeates on the left side, which Parkinson reckons is his most effective position. The Irishman needs to show it after some indifferent displays from the bench recently
City's injury curse continues. Another one to add to the list - and a key one at that.
Generous applause all round the ground for the injured winger as he is carried off the field
Yeates coming on for Reid
Here comes the stretcher
Worrying this for City as Reid gets treatment. Yeates and Graham both warming up
Reid looks in pain after challenge with McMahon. Winger staying down banging the ground
Positive play from Reid before squaring to Jones who tries speculative drive that flies into the crowd
Corner hit deep to Maguire, whose header is tipped round post by McLaughlin
First corner for Sheffield United after 23 minutes.
Flurry of pressure around edge of Blades penalty area but City cannot find the room to get off a clean strike on goal.
Shot from Baxter 25 yards out but it's tame and straight at McLaughlin
Baxter flagged offside as he shoots at open goal. Hits the bar anyway and gets wished well by the City fans ....
Sheffield United looking a lot more direct than they did under David Weir at start of season. Paynter given them a more aggressive edge up front
Baxter stretches to turn ball over bar from McMahon's cross-shot
Important block from McHugh to take the pace off Paynter's shot after free-kick drops nicely for Blades striker.
It's all happening here but City trail 1-0
How did that not go in? Hanson header hits bar and McHugh's fierce shot from rebound cleared off line by Baxter.
Good response to goal from City as they force another corner.
Chance for Mclean but heads over from City corner.
Goal for Sheffield United! Low cross from McMahon and MURPHY slides home at the far post. 1-0
City enjoying plenty of the ball in opening minutes.
Mclean fouled on touchline, chance for Jones to swing free-kick into box. Hanson rises but header bounces straight at Long.
Catching practice for an unchallenged McLaughlin.
United have the first free-kick on the beach, sorry, the touchline level with City's box.
Mclean's first touch as a City player as the visitors kick off. Fans behind them first half
Pitch is a tad soggy!! #bcafc— @Elambongo 18 January 2014
The Red and White wizards? Nice sense of perspective from PA announcer...
Bring on the Bantams ... the chant begins as the away end continues to fill up. Teams on their way any minute now
Some decent away support at the lane for once #bcafc #sufc— @KieranHorry 18 January 2014
Met the legend that is Tony Currie in the media room. He was a quality player in his time - ask your dad!
RT @jordandakid: So buzzing for todays game!!! Big big game!! Time to go get it ⚽🔥 #BCAFC safe trip to all our travelling fans 🙌👏 #3Points— @alecforbes 18 January 2014
Big 3pts needed today, will be nice to see @A9Mac open his account #bcafc— @oneleg83 18 January 2014
Plenty of noise from the away end as City come out for a warm-up. And there's a lot more supporters to come - around 3,000 expected
Former City loanee Billy Paynter makes his first start for Sheffield United.
Paynter, on loan from Doncaster, played the last 20 minutes in their 2-1 loss at Notts County.
SHEFF UTD: Long, Hill, Maguire, Collins, McMahon, Flynn, McGinn, Doyle, Murphy, Baxter, Paynter. Subs: Porter, Miller, Coady, McFadzean, Whitehouse, Kennedy, Howard.
Andy Gray is back for the first time since his injury - and goal - at Peterborough. He is on the City bench.
Subs: Oliver, Gray, Yeates, Taylor, Graham, Doyle, Jameson.
Two changes as expected to the City starting line-up.
Aaron Mclean makes his debut in place of Oliver McBurnie, who has not travelled as he nurses a slight hamstring problem.
Jason Kennedy also starts in centre midfield in place of the injured Ricky Ravenhill. The former Rochdale man had a really good game last week when he came on for him against Bristol City.
Still waiting for the subs to be confirmed.
CITY: McLaughlin, Darby, McArdle, Bates, McHugh, Thompson, Jones, Kennedy, Reid, Mclean, Hanson.
This day has started brilliant, awaydays with the mighty bantams, and leeds losing. Come on City #bcafc— @BantamsBlog 18 January 2014
Time for a few stats to be updated this afternoon...
City have only ever won here once in the league when John Hendrie and Ian Ormondroyd scored in a 2-1 win in April 1988.
City have won only one of their last 16 games in all competitions.
City have not won any of the last eight since beating MK Dons on November 23.
Woop woop @A9Mac #bcafc http://t.co/OqazJWTZ6u— @RizzWL 18 January 2014
Good afternoon and welcome from Bramall Lane for an eagerly-anticipated Yorkshire derby.
No team news just yet but would expect there to be two changes with Aaron Mclean coming in for his debut and Jason Kennedy starting in centre midfield.
At the moment, Andrew Davies is out on the pitch being put through his paces by fitness coach Nick Allamby. The centre half's return is getting closer ...
