Bradford not so good in the League at the mo. Lost again today at home. As you say, Bartley will be a fine stand in if Chico isn't fit. Thought he had a great game today when he came on. A goal-line clearance too.
I think Monk should get the nod for the final. It would be appropriate. He played a role throughout this competition as well as our rise through the divisions. He's the captain and he should lead us out, he won't let us down. Bartley can deputise for Chico in the league.
One thing is for certain - ML will have a selection problem in a few positions. Lets hope it doesn't lead to any tantrums.
Bradfordplayers is probably all about the final now, so don't expect a lot of points before the final... We always have problems against lower league teams in the cups, so anything can happen. Remember that they have beaten three Premier teams already this season...
Hmmmm Dill not too sure to be honest in the last 15 did yuo notice Ash swapped positions with Kyle ? Ash played alongside just behind Rangel and Kyle likewise Davies, don't know what that was about to be honest maybe it's because Kyle is more comfortable left side?

Mmmmmmmmmm EDIT, when it says Offensive weapon my ARMALITE is a defensive weapon so does that count? and when you say interfere with my Tag can I at least stroke it a while Hmmmmm? Pretty please ! Matron my gun oil and pull through !
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I wonder if we will get a story about FFS journey to Wembley like we did with JH and his trip to Stoke last year
I agree with FFS, I was not that impressed with Bartley's games yesterday - aside from his goal line save... He looked a little bit lost/duck out of water to me... Maybe he has got what it takes, but with Monk I know what I am getting...
I think Bartley did well yesterday. He is quick and strong and good in the air. Mind you I thought he should have closed Zamora down quicker for the goal. I agree Monk never lets you down. However, A lot of Bradfords threat is crosses in the box and their Aerial threat and i feel that has been Monks weakness as he gets older. Bartley is better in the air quicker and stronger. There should be no settiments when the side is picked for the final. just my humble opinion on the subject
Maybe you should add that he will remain strapped to his trolley and his Hanibal mask won't be removed all day
the experience of monk edges it for me. He is better with motivating the players than ash imo. Ash is the main defender and i want him to concentrate on that job than trying to captain the side as well, monk has the experience to do both jobs...
Am I missing something or dont the BBC know Bradford City from Bradford Bulls? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/bradford-city
