No change from last season - can't kill games off. Cant get a 2nd that could lead to a 3rd. Instead we let one in & then usually lose. 1-0 up at Wimbledon last week & lost that one. Expect to do the same today.
Do we really want to kill these two games off?
Maybe not last weeks but certainly this one. This is the League Cup. 2nd biggest cup competition in the UK.Wembley final & a place in Europe. Tis is no micky mouse competition. Might get a Premier League side in the next round or 2.
Whoopdie Doooo
Apart from being a chance to blood in any new signings its nothing more than a distraction
Well, if you don't care much about it why are you posting on this thread.
Weird.
Because its a Charlton game... Obviously
I'm just realistic and know we cant win every game, prioritise the important games
Or would you prefer it had we done a Portsmouth and Sunderland two years ago and gone far into a cup game only to tire when it matters in the League?
@golfaddick you'll have to remind me why you only chirp up when a match appears at its most negative?
Its a complete myth that a cup run effects your league form. In fact it usually does the opposite...
What like Doncaster when they beat us in the FA Cup
Or Portsmouth / Sunderland when they went far in the EFL Trophy, both teams looked exhausted come the end of the season
Who won the Play-Offs out of us four that season?
Hell I'm all for going far in cup competitions if it gives much needed minutes for players or new signings... But thats it
How many teams win every single competition they're involved in, its about managing each competition you're involved in
You’ve picked any old example there! I could do the exact same. We didn’t win the play off final because Sunderland played a few extra games than us and were ‘tired’. Now the checkatrade can go that is pointless. Bowyers team against Doncaster was disgraceful, although i’ll let it slide as hes a god.

Think we'll have to agree to disagree - Cup competitions these days are sadly expendable
We're not going to win them so why waste our time with them... Its the same approach Bowyer takes for the most part
It is a shame taking that stance I'd agree as love the FA Cup (the League Cup a little less so, not that it should be scrapped as per the excuse that every other European League has just the one cup competition) but unfortunately the chances of there being a regular Bradford reaching the latter stages is really rare... If it was more often I'd probably have a different opinion

Swindon will score in the 92nd and 94th minutes to win after Bowyer makes a late change to protect our lead
