Match Thread Bradford City v Grimsby Town EFL (Vertu) Trophy Tue 2 Sep 2025 7.30pm

The stats don't back up any of the nonsense we were better without Cook. Its all very marginal with slight improvements on PPG and GPG - but doesn't factor in Sarcevic and Pattisons return from injuries, or the signings of Adaramola, Khela, Leigh or Lapslie.

If Cook had stayed fit last season we would have won the league IMO.

 

Right you two are on washing up duties for the foreseeable. @Sergio Pinto III

 

My job, I just put the lot in the Bosch

 

Of the outfield players, only Tilt, Power, Neufville and Touray have started all 6 league games.

 

He doesn't like facts, completely ignores them and makes up his own to push the narrative.

 

You seem to be having a pop at me on numerous threads? Are you OK? Now you're trying to collect allies. Fortunately, the poster you're replying to is able to have a difference of opinion to me without going all 'playground' about it. Grow up!

What fact have I made up?

 

The Grimsby red card has been overturned.

 

Not surprised. It's a pity the earlier yellow for the challenge on Kelly that should have been a red can't be changed too.

 

You keep pushing your crap about Cook. Ive set you straight numerous times.

 

I thought it would be. At the time I didn't think it was a red card and wasn't even sure it was a foul by their player, if anything it was a foul the other way round. I do think the referee had in his mind the challenge around the 2nd minute that he gave a yellow card which I thought was a red but he probably gave the benefit of the doubt as it was so early in the game.

 

I haven't been offensive. We have a different opinion. That's all. You think we'd have gone up as champions. I think his absence changed our approach and lead to our form in the second half of the season. Yes, I appreciate other factors including other players coming in had an impact. What have you set me straight on?

 

Reece Staunton, Clark Oduor and Jamie Walker all start tonight for Grimsby v Doncaster. 19:00 KO for those who may have nothing else to watch!

 

Tnx… Let’s hope our agents demoralise em ? Donny first team ?

 

Loving the to and fro they are having with Seville on X.

 

With Donny winning tonight a win after 90 minutes or penalties against Everton next week will see us qualified and effectively set up the game against Donny as a play off to top the group
