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

If Smith stays you would hope he would play some part....

I think Smith goes out on loan to a gateshead etc

 

Why should he be picked, we have players chomping at the bit who deserve a place in front of him .

 

GA made it plainly clear in the media that there was no future at the club for 3 players of which 2 have already left the building. I wouldn't expect Smith to play any part tomorrow if he's still at the club.
I'd like to see Powell play 70-75 mins in the position GA appears to want to play him IE up top and then to be

 

Wasn't that jack Hunt ?

 

Just ordered tickets to the value of £9
With the new web fees the final price was almost double

 

Is today the day we see Andy Cook play football once again? I hope so! Even a little 5-10 mins off the bench cameo.

I'd give everyone a rest really where we can. Tell Tyreik he's playing LWB for a match as Touray will need to take a break at some point. No idea if we registered McIntyre in time, guessing not if it was a late one. I'd give Hilton a go too, see whats there with him.

 

Same with me. The web fee is highly frustrating.

 

Surely It is pay on the day tonight?

 

It is, but you won't get your 20 points I assume.

 

Touray needs a rest but I think Wright will be needed at LAM. Lewis Boney is my pick for LWB role - these are the perfect opportunities to look at 1 or 2 in mens football. He played pre season so GA must have him in his thoughts.

Goodman should be 100% starting tonight as well.

 

just going to book tickets for tonight and it looks like the whole lower west stand is sold out, only tickets available in upper blocks near nw corner.

 

I've got a dilemma, watching this vs Bake Off

 

Correct - just under 4k sold!

Club anticipating 5k-6k!

 

Rest as many as we can. get all those who have only been involved in a couple games. We should still be able to put a strong team out

 

Looks like this competition is gaining in popularity!

 

I thing G.A will pick a strong team, this competition is just as valuable financially as the Carabo cup, and with a more realistic chance of being successful

 

He'll pick a strong team as we now have a strong squad.
There's plenty of players who need minutes in the bank

Hilton
Halliday
Kelly
Metcalf
Pattison
Wright . T
Lapslie
Powell

Plus new signing Mcintyre

There's 9 there that didnt start on Saturday

He wont start but add Cooke from the bench,

 

FYI:

 

Not sure if McIntyre is eligible? Depends on what time the deal was completed? Locally Posh say two of their signings yesterday will play .

 

And they also shut the ticket offices on matchday so you can't even buy a ticket at the ground to get your points.
