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

They’ve offered absolutely no threat up front and yet he still gets caught out of position

 

I'm liking Hiltons distribution. Makes big Sam look slow and ponderous.

 

Very close then. Would have been a fantastic strike.

 

My son's housemate has asked him if he is happy with himself, bullying scouse kids!

 

That McNeil lad isn’t bad. Let’s buy him in January…

 

Looked like he didnt quite control it as he wanted and rushed the shot a little. Shame as the keeper was never saving it if it were on target!

 

Accordingly, he was a stride short in training practice. He pulled up in training, went to the sidelines, threw his bib and was assisted with the physio away from training

 

Number 49 would be more suited to Liverpool with the amount of times he falls over and moans to the ref

 

I’ve just tuned in, how have we been playing and what were the goals like?

 

Shouldn’t be anywhere near the first team squad.

 

What a great team goal!

 

Better finish for the 3rd, think thats the first time I've seen Humphrys aim for the corner rather than hitting it dead centre.

Switched it off now for Bake Off, felt like a glorified training game for the most part.

 

Lovely goal that.

 

That was a super goal!

Brilliant touch from Kav. Lovely finish from Lapslie.

 

Fantastic team goal

 

Whilst Everton’s kids look lost, this is still a further indication of our improvement in the last 12 months. We never used to take U21 sides behind the bike shed like this.

 

I know we are playing the Everton kids, but how good has Kavanagh been.

He certainly has a part to play this season and not to be loaned out like some fans were saying.

Hopefully Humphs will gain some much needed confidence after his first half performance too.

 

Let’s make a statement that these reserve teams shouldn’t be in any cup competitions with the pros and beat them 12-0

 

Great performance but what a farce

 

I was about to post something similar. We are so much fitter and quicker with the ball now. Some good options in this squad.
