League Cup Semi Final - Bradford City

[hawkeye]

why do people say a 2 - 0 win is enough, i believe that 2-0 means penalties

[Andy1874]

2 0 is good enough, after extra time tho (thats when away goals come into it)

thanks for clearing that up, so if we are 2 0 up at 90 minutes we then have to play extra time, so what happens if both teams score 1 in extra time or 2

The away goal rule in this competition never seems fair as one team gets 90 mins to score away goals and the other team gets 120. Burnley got knocked out by Spurs this way a few seasons back.

3-1 after extra time would mean pens, 4-2 and Bradford win on away goals.

Seems their boss parkinson is top of blackpools  wanted list to replace Appleby - could be good timing for us if they lose their inspirational leader in the next few days.

I can't see their manager bailing out on the eve of one of the biggest games in his career (probably the biggest).

I dunno chance to step up 2 leagues ..be handy for us if he goes

Big chance to get back up to the championship- Blackpool aren't a bad club and I can see him going there rather than staying in league 2 .

He's on the verge of one of the greatest cup stories of all time and on the brink of promotion to league 1. With the money there bringing in through TV and gate receipts then theres a reasonable chance of them being in the Championship themselves in a few years. Personally think he'd be mad to leave them at this moment in time

However, if he does leave it helps our chances. On that basis Parkinson, you have a great offer, take it!!

3-1 after extra time would mean pens, 4-2 and Bradford win on away goals.

4-1 Villa after 90mins.

I wish I could see that happening.  I think Bradford will sit back and try and snatch a goal on the counter.  I think we'll struggle to score more than 2 over 90 mins.  My main worry is them scoring on the counter attack - one goal from them would kill us I reckon.  This team has imploded on several occassions this season after going behind, despite starting well.

He's on the verge of getting battered 5 or 6 nil at Villa Park.

If we get a spell like we had at the tart of the 1st half and at the start of the 2nd half, you would think that 9 times out of ten, you'd stick at least four out of those dozen or so chances away.

On a bigger pitch, with pressure actually on them this time, then I think we'll be too strong.

An early goal and they will start to brick it. Their manager has said he is going to come out and attack, which can only be a good thing for us.

That's how I see it Ads.
