Match Thread Bradford City v Everton U21 EFL (Vertu) Trophy Tuesday 14 October 2025 7.30pm

Heard over the weekend from a friend, whom was observing training at AP, whom has a perusal on these boards that AC in training was assisted from training on Friday grasping his knee and Cookie threw his bib in anger to the ground before being WALKED off with the physio.

 

Looked offside to me?

Edit: level maybe at best. Ahh well, 1-0

 

Yes. I thought the same. When Humphrys shot and it was blocked, he looked offside. He then went back to get the ball, by which time two defenders and the keeper were ahead of him.

 

Good confidence booster for him.

 

As requested.

 

Brilliant effort from Metcalfe to win that ball. Kind of thing Alexander loves.

 

Metcalfe must have a good neck pillow, the lad twists his head like an owl. Scans everywhere every 5 seconds.

 

2-0, suppose it will go down as a Humphrys goal rather than an OG off the defenders arse.

 

There is a player in humphs.

 

Apart from McNeill (who has 250 prem appearances) the rest look lost.

 

Seemed like it was going in anyway.

Brilliant to get Kav and Humphrys scoring already. Brilliant for confidence.

 

The majority of prediction league participants will be of that view.

 

Humphrys again. Decent finish that.

 

Nice lay off from Lapslie there.

Super finish.

One more goal and we'll be top.

 

Is your friend absolutely certain he didn't hobble off with the physio rather than just walking off?

 

These U21 sides are so bad.

Is it really helpful for them like they made out?

 

Sounds like a training game in all honesty. One reason why I didn't bother going tonight.

 

It’s not even that competitive.

 

Byrne showing how suited he is to league 2 by picking up a yellow doing what he does best, grabbing and pulling because he’s too slow.

 

Metcalfe is playing like look what you lost. Great start.
