Nottingham Forest - Bradford City

[wassy04]

Well managed to get the win, didn’t really come out second half but held on

Didn’t Wassy say this result doesn’t go towards Hughtons match win percentage though?

:D

Ha you almost sound disappointed we won Widdow! Yes you are correct though, this game should be stricken from the records!  :D

Yep, wanted us to win, i didn't want us to write off the cup, always clear on that, so delighted we are in second round and another home tie, which will help with finances. 

Lest not forget, Bradford managed to get to the final in 2013 as a second division side, so why can't we go on a run, especially if the premier league clubs so don't take it seriously (bar Man City)

I agree in normal circumstances I always think you should play the first team in cup games. Always feels a waste when we rotate, particularly as you say others are rotating too so we'd have an increased chance of victory. I know managers like to use it as an opportunity to get games into the squad players but aside from maybe where it's a close contest who is going to start I'm not sure it's worth the benefit of making loads of changes and then looking disjointed. Like for example against Swansea last year.

Hopefully by round 2 we have a fully stocked squad and the only rotation is where the competition for places is fierce because we have such a loaded squad!  :D
