Tonight’s line up:
-
Safe travels to those going, on what will be a chilly night in Bradford.

I hope they have already got there..... it KO in 25 mins
-
Let’s see how that re-vamped defence performs.
Surely we should see an improvement? Certainly looks better on paper.
-
Rovers are doing well, fingers crossed!
-
Sounds like a lively start. 3 efforts to their one in first few minutes.
-
Assume it’s a back 3 with Bailey in there if Wood is starting?
-
Looking very poor again. Blink and Bradford have a dangerous attack
-
They are striding through our midfield with ease at the moment.
We cant keep hold of the ball. To many balls just being lumped long
-
Good punch clear by Jones from a good Bradford corner.
IFollow commentator (who is very poor by the way) says he clawed it away.
Jones having a good game so far.
-
Assume it’s a back 3 with Bailey in there if Wood is starting?
No it’s a back four of Sterry, McGrath, Wood and Maxwell.
Looking much better so far, having faced quite a number of crosses and corners.
-
God we are s**t. Getting absolutley over run. Have these players given up?

Agreed about the commentator Hound, he’s poor.
Failing to give credit to some good defending by Rovers.
-

You’re watching a different game to me.
-
Good to see McGrath mixing it with Andy Cook - that’s what we need.
-
We need control of the midfield. Just stay in the game.
-
Nasty knock for Molly there, comms calling it a twisted leg :lol:, talk about blind love, he took a fair kick from the defender, should’ve been a card
-

And me

I must be unfortunatly. Its been all one way traffic, we've had no control in midfield. Not posed any threat going forward since the 3rd minute. Its all bradford. The only positive i can see is the 2 CB's looking solid.
-
Taylor flashed a great ball across the face of goal but no one could get a touch to poke it home.
-
Maxwell inches away from making contact with a fierce ball in from Taylor - just needed a touch and that was in.
-
4 shots to rovers just 1 on tgt. Around 50/50 possession . They have had four shots all on tgt
-
Juvenile commentary.
-
We aren’t great tonight but are massively better than on Saturday.
Lots of commitment and hard work going on.
-
Carty now forced out of the game.
Hurst on.
-
Two enforced changes through injury already
Seem to remember that also happened at Mansfield in this competition :mad:
-
2 bloody injuries
-
Carty bundled into the hoardings and injured in the process, having to come off. No free kick given!

Hopefully we aren’t taking any chances and the first sign of a knock we are taking players off.

More than a couple of knocks I think.
Molly can barely put weight on his injured leg and Carty had to be carried down the tunnel.
-
Half-time: 0-0. Not too bad, eh?
-
Decent half that. Wood is having a good game. Sterry seems to be struggling to contain Richards
Keep going and the chance will come
-
Good half by Rovers and Bradford are seemingly a bit rattled and starting to get very physical with their challenges.
-
Really need to be exploiting the gaps Halliday is leaving.
-
Looks like two more long term injuries
-
Molyneux limping badly off and Carty was shoved into the hoarding it looked bad had to be carried back to dugout.
-
Half time 0-0.
Well played Rovers. A much more solid show in defence and we’ve taken the game to Bradford when possible - 5 corners earned.
A couple of very near misses. Taylor looking lively and dangerous since he came on.
Molly and Carty off injured as a result of two cynical fouls on the touch line, neither of which resulted in a free kick.
We’re still well in this tie.
-
If Carty is long term then he should go back to Bolton and bring in another player
-
Broadbent looking better than he has done in his last few outings. Good physical midfielder for a game like this when he’s up to speed.

Ffs! This is getting silly now. It's gotta be a curse.
-
Rovers haven’t got the skill of a lot of the Bradford players, but they have looked more dangerous than Bradford in and around the box. We’ve managed to deal with the crosses too with Jones leaving his line to good effect on one or two occasions.
-
Awful pitch, weak referee, childish commentary by Tom Biltcliffe but a decent performance so far by Rovers.
The back four looks much improved on the shambles last Saturday and in other recent games. It’s good to see two full backs worthy of the name and the two CB’s are complementing each other well.
Richard Wood is a steady influence so far and we’ve defended balls into the box which we totally failed to do on Saturday.
A shame about losing two players with injuries but we can win this.
-
Sterry looks like he’s blowing out his a£s#, I know he’s just back but he looks way of it.
Molly took a nasty blow to the right shin/calf no way was it an attempt at the ball, should’ve been a yellow.
Carty was shouldered, but way off the ball - he wasn’t prepared for it and went flying. He instantly looked white as a ghost. Again no attempt at the ball, his only concern was fouling the player.
They are as bad as us in defence, just keep the crosses and pressure up, and they will cave in.
-
Good to hear some positives, particularly Jones coming off his line.
-
Corner by Bradford “comes off a Rovers head” according to Biltcliffe, which translates as a firm and decisive header by Wood.
-
Definitly better for having wood defending the corners
-
What a mare from Jones good job it was offside although we appear to have cleared off the line
-
We could do with a few set piece specialists.
-
b*llocks
-
Jones got that wrong poor from the Keeper set up the wall and left the left side all wrong
So flat footed we need better
-
Did it go through the wall or did I miss see that?
-
Waiting for someone to blame Olowu
-
It went over the wall and in the corner Jones didn’t move
-
Went to the right of the wall. Never liked Biltcliffe. Smug git.
-

Looks like City have one! :headbang:
-
You could see a mile off where that free kick was going, poor goalkeeping for me.
-
It went over the wall and in the corner Jones didn’t move
He did move. He dived. But he was too far the other way to get to it.
-
1-0 Bradford from a free kick. Poor keeping from Jones really.
-

Not sure you can blame Jones. Close should have got a tackle in before the free kick then the wall just stood still.
-
Half an hour to get a goal. Come on Rovers
-
No 2 players in this team are on the same wavelength
-
We are creating nothing. Hard to see where a goal is coming from.
-
Waiting for someone to blame Olowu
Still time - he's just come on....
-
We are creating nothing. Hard to see where a goal is coming from.
Patience, Sir, patience!
-
Harrogate one up at Sutton :thumbsup:
-
How many years have we known Jones isn’t good enough, yet here he is as our number 1
-
Harrogate one up at Sutton :thumbsup:
Get in, yesssss! We are staying up! :thumbsup:
-

This,Im not one of the serial Jones critics,but he was far too far the other side for defending a right footed players free kick from almost central position.
-
This commentator talks absolute b*llocks
-
What formation have we gone to with that double sub? 2 defenders on with 1 midfielder going off?
-
Harrogate one up at Sutton :thumbsup:
Get in, yesssss! We are staying up! :thumbsup:
Thought that was a goal for donny you w**ker
-
This commentator talks absolute b*llocks
Biltcliffe is getting too clever for his own headphones! Close to crossing the line with sarky comments and questions to GM in interviews.
-
Andy Cook off - 2 yellows
-
Come on Rovers!!
-
Harrogate now 2 up
-
Why is Biltcliffe laughing? How to build the tension …. not.
-
Harrogate now 2 up
Spotty at the double!
-
Three minutes to go, Wood up front
-
Now Close injured, and Bailey struggling?
-
Terrible looking foul on Close - he looks badly injured.
-
Close looks injured.
-
Stretcher for Close. Jeez
-
FFS
-
Stretcher on for Close
-
Bradford lad has done Close there, out for season that one, studs right on the knee
-
Is Close injured....?
-
We have no luck with injuries at all!
-
That tackle on Close is ridiculous.
Very high and deserving of a red card.
-
That looked an awful challenge on Close
-
Kiss goodbye to the EFL!
-
Kiss goodbye to the EFL!
That's it Alan...... no kneejerk reactions
-
I bet McCann is fuming!
-
How this commentator can be cracking jokes in the 6th minute of extra time …. What a f**king prat.
-
Full time, hard luck Rovers
-
Well three bad injuries will we go out and get a replacement for Close it looks like his seasons over.
Not even given as a foul.
-
If we put as much effort in on Saturday we will beat Sutton.
-
Three serious injuries, we have to look at the loan market again
That tackle on Close was a disgrace and Bradford got the free kick
-
Sutton have pulled one back
-
Well played Harrogate...
-
Wtf wish we never got this far now what a disaster. Were threadbare in midfield anyway and now Close will be out for a while.
Need to sign a centre midfielder now at the very least to give ourselves a chance.
-
The good news tonight is a Sutton defeat.
Downside is we have to go there this sat. With more depletions to the team no doubt.
-
In the run up to the Close injury, one of the Bradford player was yards offside... and nothing given. That's given, Close doesn't get crocked. Beggars belief doesn't it? Time to dig in. Good to see Wood and McGrath at the back - no messing about.
-

To be honest, centre midfield and goalkeeper were priorities for me before all these signings.
-
The last 30 mins we were great and put them under the cosh for all of that time.
The ref was an absolute disgrace one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen
