League Cup Semi Final - Bradford City

[eastie]

Will kea be away for both semi finals ? Also with Westwood out , if we signed someone in January who isn't cup tied i think they will they be eligible to play in the semi or final .

Both Andy & Stuart Gray both scored at Bradford in 87 in the 4-2 win, Bruno got one and possibly Lillis ?

Stuart got 2, Bruno and Birch.

Andy Gray scored for sure. It was a daisy cutter from 25 yards

Not at Bradford, are you thinking of the 5-0 at Hull?

[silhillvilla]

No he definitely scored at Bradford the first goal .
Stuart Gray later scores a free kick curler

Valley Parade is a quirky old place. It's kind of hanging off the edge of a cliff (or valley)

It is odd.  I went there about 10 years ago and it has two massive stands on one side with the corner filled in and two tiny ones on the other.  It looks like they started rebuilding the ground and then ran out of money half way through.

According to their forums they're delighted.

Good for them. If they're so fucking clever how come they aren't twenty points clear at the top of division four?

Well, they're full of shit quite frankly.
They would have said that if they had been paired with Swansea or Chelsea.

Not having it. The 2 debutants both scored that day

[silhillvilla]

On 11v11.com it has Andy Gray down with 2, that's incorrect too.
Andy Gray opened the scoring. Stuart Gray later curled a beauty in.

Part of the reason why we are struggling to remember who scored the Villa goals is that you could not actually see the goalmouth at the away end unless you were stood right at the front. I didn't see half our goals until I got home and saw them on telly.

Steve Sims did a completely unnecessary kamikaze handball for one of their goals.

Andy Gray scored down the other end so had clear view of that
Sims handled x 2 for two pens

I can assure you he did not.  The goalscorers, as stated, were Stuart Gray with two, Thompson and Birchy.  It was Stuart Gray up the other end with a daisy cutter.  Andy Gray also scored a daisy cutter from 25 yds vs Hull at Villa Park on New Years Day 1988 and then another goal at Leeds in the Cup just over a week later.  That was all he scored for Villa that season.

The games was memorable as BOTH debutants scored .

Only one way to settle this -Calling Harry hill to the thread!
