    Phil Parkinson was a little too loyal IMO with regards team selection that day you can't have the likes of Andrew Davies and Kyel Reid not starting, plus I believe Michael Laudrup had done his homework with regards not taking us seriously, Michu and Nathan Dyer were unplayable on the day.
    But what a achievement and although bloody freezing a great occasion for Bradford City fans.

    I never had a problem with any Bradfordian who attended that day, there were 9 in our party of which only two were Bradford City fans me and my grandson.
    I wanted the rest of our party to experiance what a great day it is when we win at Wembley unfortunatly Swansea took the game by the scruff of the neck from the first whistle and we never got a kick, yet my wife, daughters and granddaughter took great pride in that phenomenal last 15 minutes or so, proud to be a Bradfordian.

    Laudrup had recognised that our biggest threat to them was from set pieces and that our central midfield of Jones and Doyle was slow. He set them up to play tika taka keepball and run us ragged. They kept the ball on the park the whole time and starved us of any opportunity to play to our strengths. It was superb tactical management.
    I agree about Davies and Reid not starting. And having a CB at LB hurt us badly. At least Reid's pace might have worried them and given us a chance of getting the ball to Nahki or big Jim, neither of whom had a sniff all game.

    Hadn't Davies been out injured for a long time? It also didn't help when the ref completely ruined any chance we had by sending the keeper off. It was hard enough 11 v 11 but with a man down, we were always going to be chasing shadows.

    Parky asked him why he felt he had to send Duke off and he replied, "look phil, if they missed the penalty and you came back from 3.0 down I'd have been crucified"
