Match Thread Bradford City V Burnley 26th August 2026 7.45pm Carabao Cup 2nd Round (with Poll)

We are going to have four or five hangers as well

 

McCracken
Neufville
Touray
Welch
Baldwin
Gillesphey
Cartwright
Sarcevic (c)
Phillips
Swan
Beesley

Dawson, Pennington, J Wright, Connolly, Lapslie, Jackson, Pointon, Powell, Humphrys

That be my 20. Welch, Cartwright, Swan and Phillips all coming in to starting 11.

 

Don't think you'll be far wrong there tbh.
Maybe Powell to start and get an hour.
If not I'm not sure where he'll ever get some decent minutes in. (Obviously I'm aware he's made of glass)

 

Id probably start him but think he goes with Beesley against these. Powell will see 25-30 mins you would think.

Welch and Cartwright need a start IMO. Lets see if they are up to it before the window shuts!

 

With an hour to go last night it had just tipped 19000

 

Nathan's gone and jinxed it.

 

Have we lost to them?

 

I know the £5 window ended, but since when has it ever been £29 for adults at BCAFC games? Where has £29 come from? League games to my knowledge are £26.

 

Heavy rain supposedly, it will be interesting to see how the pitch holds up.

 

Sounds a bit of a drastic measure

 

Wow, on the day price is insane. Talk about knocking back those who suddenly find themselves with a free afternoon short notice.

 

It encourages people that are definitely able to attend to buy early. I doubt there's many people on any given match day that suddenly find themselves at a loose end and able to attend and those that do, I'm sure an extra 3 quid is a price they are willing to pay if it means they no longer have to attend aunty Barbra and uncle Keith's 40th wedding anniversary.

 

Really? - i think he looks cool af! No i am not being ironic either!

 

M606 southbound has been closed most nights for the last couple of weeks. That has caused back ups on the two feeding roads aswell.

might want to check before you set off back, diversion takes you parallel down cleckheaton road to Chain bar but will be busier than usual

 

Sarc gets a bit of a breather.

 

I assume that’s Jackson at RWB?

 

Plymouth does have to come first. A bit surprised as the club would certainly like a cup run, hopefully those on the fringes can stake a claim for a starting berth.
