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

Yeh youd think this game perfect to be amongst first team and a bit of experience. Appreciate GA takes this seriously but an injury or 2 tonight to key players would hurt.

No Powell either. Surprised he hasnt made the bench.

 

Powell just being given a break i reckon. Not wanting to over use him.

 

Good luck to Hilton. Hope he has a good match.

 

Shocking tackle …all studs !

 

How's that not a dangerous tackle studs showing.

 

That is a stone wall red, wtf

 

This guy thinks he's reffing a friendly.

 

Feck me I’m sat near a right idiot in the main stand. Doing my head in.

 

Ask him what his Bantam Talk user name is.

 

Looks a decent turn out for this competition.

 

That's what happens when you let the mutants sit with the prawn sandwich brigade

 

Haha are you getting a running commentary?

 

Is he waffling on about Welsh internet, his favourite ice cream and his 6 holidays a year to Tenerife?

 

Guessing it's folk hoping to get more tickets points for the Newcastle fixture?

 

Metcalfe showing some good touches and passing in the middle. Good so far. On the whole we're a bit too ponderous and inaccurate though.

 

Metcalfe is a very impressive little midfielder

 

He thinks he’s the coach, he’s shouting every instruction going. “Get it wide!” “Find the gaps!”
Jesus H mate STFU

 

Straight red for Grimsby

 

This doesn't look good , back up but stupid challenge, not sure I'd want Cook involved with some of these challenges going in from Grimsby.

 

Was that a red card? Hard to tell from behind on the tv angle but if that was a red then the first one definitely was as it looked worse to me.
