Match Thread Cheltenham Town v Bradford City FA Cup 1st Round - Sat 1 Nov 2025 3pm

Isn't the ref supposed to blow his whistle to signify restarting the game?

 

Yes ref blew twice in quick succession . Hes fecked up badly according to Parker.

 

How many chances does Tyrek want to beat the keeper ?.

 

Are you surprised mate?

 

When you pick your league 2 squad from last season it’s likely you might lose to a league 2 team. Just saying

 

The thing is we shouldn’t be losing. Their goal should never have stood

 

But but but... We're unbeaten in the league.

 

This is basically how we played last season… need 10-20 chances to squeeze a 1-0

 

How many times did we say that last season against league 2 teams. We scraped promotion last gasp and set to work on improving the squad.
The only reason we are better than Cheltenham is if we pick those improved players, otherwise we’re not.

 

Our league two side was miles better than Cheltenhams last year and this year. Should be seeing them off with ease

 

I’m on holiday in turkey. Can’t access the Beeb and can’t be arsed setting up a VPN, so thanks to those who are chipping in with updates. Cheers!

 

Tyreik should have around 7 goals by now…

 

I'm fine with the team we've put out.

We're doing well in the league, made a load of cash in the league cup and have a number of players who need competitive minutes. If we lose, we lose. Then crack on in the league.

 

Who asked you to chip in with a sensible opinion? Jeez...

 

Must be taken off at H/T

 

Were any of those keeper saves any good though or was he catching a kick from a 9 year old?

 

We can't keep missing chances like were doing, I'd take Lapslie and Wright off and bring Humphry's and Pattison on.

 

All from the Cheltenham half. Saved the lot.

 

That could be said most weeks.
