v Bradford City (a) 23/08/2022 League Cup

[bluebruce]

Good stuff, winning again with a weakened team may restore a bit of confidence. Now to do it in the league! (And to sign some defenders)

When Is the draw for the third round

I fear those words may come back to haunt you.

Nope. As I said, nothing to fear from a team starting Smallwood and Chapman.

Good to still be in a cup, onwards to new signings and a much improved league performance on Saturday!

Good win. Interested to hear thoughts of those at the game!

[davulsukur]

Always knew this kid was class 🤥

[neophox]

Good win for our fringe players players...

Bradford just started slinging it into the box... Probably should have done it all game! 

Aye but a huge block from Annesley to prevent an equaliser at the death.

He's good at those. Did one for Gib U21s when they shocked North Macedonia a few years back.

[WacoRover]

A speed bump or two, but Rovers advance. 
All that we could have desired today, & no new injuries.

Don't have DAB. Using an old style radio where I can't see the specific one I'm tuned to, the 102 to 108 range only gives me the Nobbers, or some fucker talking in Welsh.

ok no problem. 

[neophox]

Both Garratt and Annesley made their debuts tonight... good for their confidence.

This is a home win banker.  A physical Bradford and Hughes will be up for it like a house on fire. 

We haven't a prayer.

JDT will take no risks with any key player.

Earn yourself some early Christmas spending money.  I put a bundle on Bradford last night at 3/1.  This really is an opportunity to fill yer boots.

Any comment tonight Mercer? 

Another betting loss here

[neophox]

This would NEVER had happened under Mowbray with our first team playing....

dingles in the next round😄

Especially that final moment of action. Louie will be on top of the world after that.

Did we ever progress in any cup under Mowbray?

Always felt like we were knocked out by lower league opposition every season?

[neophox]

Can anyone post the goals from the game?

He's cracking open a bottle of lemonade. Leave him alone in his misery.

I mean, it was a bit of a problem, I didn't get to listen to the commentary, but cheers.

What's that, 4 Academy debuts this season?

JDT is going to blow Mowbray's record out of the water.

[neophox]

Nice one!!

[bluebruce]

So, successfully navigating two rounds of a cup...I'm pretty sure TM never did that once in all his time here, whilst JDT has done it first time of asking, with a weakened squad that could barely field a defence.

[SuperBrfc]

That's an impressive win. A result that I was not expecting when the lineups came out. Credit to the lads for getting us into the next round.

Looking forward to seeing the draw. Another lower league side hopefully, I want the cup run to go on.
