Hughes linked with Birmingham city.. half way through season I would have drove him out of Bradford myself when he dropped cook for them 7 games late subs everything not going for us.. but it’s a long season n that proved to be master class from hughes.. he has the chance to go down as a city legend if we get up This year n god knows what we can achieve going forward ! Hughes Lewis cook n banks sign back up now! Mark hughes Bradford army !!

A good performance just lacking clinical finishing but it's nicely poised for the 2nd leg!

the stand up chickens , stand up.

"They by-passed midfield". Carlisle's style of play last night countered Bradford's preference to play it on the ground and through the thirds. Its horses for courses I suppose at this stage of the season and the second leg is nicely poised so it will be interesting to see who comes out on top in this particular culture war. I've only watched Carlisle a couple of times this season and I am curious to know whether and how often they have successfully played any other way this season ?

[@tommybcafc5531]

Tbf the ref was consistent at least

[@geraldarmstrong874]

​@tommybcafc5531 you must be joking,he missed a blatant penalty that could have given Carlisle the lead and gave loads of throw ins and goal.kicks to Bradford when the ball clearly came off a Bradford player.
