Match Thread Newcastle v Bradford Wed 24 Sept 19:45 Carabao cup

First half?

 

Seeing that line up has filled me with dread. Again.

 

This game is not on Bantams TV at all regardless of where you are in the world.

 

I'm in the S

I'm in the Strawberry right outside the ground and you can have my ticket if you can get here quick enough!

 

Away from the overly giddy 30 spot laid on earlier, genuinely feel sorry for all those fans going up there. Great occasion, undermined by an efl trophy level approach.
There is still a tangible point where GA over thinks it, peterborough away, and it goes south.

Cashing out in the cup with 5k away fans taking the time and money to get there is not good.

 

I wish i shared your optimism! I dont think kelly or byrne are good enough for L1, let alone tonight!

with newcastle’s pace we could get murdered by Elanga and Gordon

 

Sorry to all of you who that are upset at the line up but I would rather get 3 points at the weekend.
Free hit as we all say, resting players and not risking injuries/burn out.

 

Which is fine if you haven't spent £150 on tickets and travel to support your team.

 

Without doubt but it's not often you get to play a big team but to then put out a severely weakened side is ludicrous.

 

That comments so unusually for you .

 

I can't see a win at all tonight for us, especially with that line up. Hope I'm wrong (obviously) but I just hope that any adverse result doesn't affect our confidence and league form in a bad way.

 

Parky never saved anyone.

 

And a potential confidence hit.

 

That lineup hurts,,,,,let's hope we don't do a Barnsley and roll over

 

Blackpool have had the week off and we are playing a day later midweek than usual. If picking this team helps us get three points on Saturday that will be good enough for me

 

We should be playing our strongest team. It's not the time to be giving Kelly, Byrne and Powell a runout.

 

We put out our strongest side and loose by the odd goal (hey, we may have won, I want us to win btw) but then loose to Blackpool I'd be more upset.
GA and his staff must balance the squad rotation. I'm happy to go with his decision.

I hope the weakened back line snuff out their rapid front 3 ... I really hope so

 

Its not on Bantams TV anywhere in the world, both audio and video, due to the competition regulations I.e. broadcast rights

 

1st. VPN
2nd. NOW TV pay £15

Alternatively, if you have a gambling site account, it might be available there albeit a small window rather than full screen.

 

In the first half...
