Final whistle - match report
By Simon Parker (T&A)
Bradford City sealed a dramatic Capital One Cup upset win at Watford with a
stoppage-time goal from Garry Thompson.
With extra-time beckoning, Thompson drilled home after keeper Jonathan Bond
had failed to deal with Kyel Reid's free-kick.
Sub Reid had set up the big finale by equalising five minutes from time
after Ikechi Anya had given Watford a 71st-minute lead.
City were thwarted by the woodwork as Alan Connell went close to firing them
into an 18th minute lead.
Connell, one of the six changes from Saturday, smashed a shot against the
post after Zavon Hines had miscued a volley into his path. Hines was bundled
over by Martin Taylor as he chased the rebound but the penalty shout was
turned down by referee Chris Sarginson.
Watford took a while to test the reshuffled Bantams back four. Steve Beleck
let fly with a powerful cross-shot but Jon McLaughlin , making his first
appearance of the season, turned it round the post.
Home keeper Jonathan Bond then pulled off an equally good save at the other
end to keep out Gary Jones.
As expected, Watford turned the screw after the break but still could not
seriously trouble McLaughlin. Anya dragged a shot across goal as the
visitors struggled to break out of their own half.
Watford's increasing pressure got its reward after 71 minutes when the
tricky Anya fired them ahead from 25 yards, latching on to Luke Oliver 's
clearance to fire past McLaughlin.
Sub Almen Abdi then hit the post with his first touch of the ball. But just
when it looked over, sub Reid blasted City level with five minutes to go
after Oliver's initial shot was blocked.
The drama was not finished as Thompson made sure the extra 30 minutes would
not be needed with a clinical finish. City are in round three for the first
time in 11 years!
===========================
When the dust settled - match report
===========================
The goals ensured City would be in the third round draw for the first time
since 2001.
Premiership sides involved in European competitions, such as Manchester
United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal, will all enter the Capital One

Whoever City are paired with, all third round ties are scheduled to take
place the week commencing the 24th September.

new New York Stadium at the weekend.
There will now be NO further tickets made available for the away section at
Rotherham at either the Bantams Ticket Office or at Rotherham on the day.

LEAGUE CUP 3rd ROUND DRAW - HOME TO BURTON
City have been given a home tie against fellow League 2 side Burton Albion
in this Thursday evening's Capital One Cup third round draw.
All third round ties are scheduled to take
place the week commencing the 24th September.

STEVE EVANS: WE COULDN'T AFFORD SOME OF BRADFORD LADS
By Bigrich.
As boss Steve Evans tries to capture Matt Tubbs on deadline day, he reveals
that the Millers tried to bring in three players in the summer that are now
at Valley Parade.
The Millers chief is waiting on Bournemouth regards a decision on an initial
loan switch as he tries to capture former Crawley frontman Tubbs before
tonight's 11pm deadline.
Rotherham had a six figure bid for Tubbs turned down in the summer and have
been sticking to a strict budget set by Chairman Tony Stewart, with the club
yet to spend a penny on transfer fees this season.
And Evans revealed ahead of tomorrow's game with Bradford City that some
targets had been out of his reach.
He said to today's Advertiser: "I don't want anyone turning up thinking this
is going to be easy tomorrow. Bradford have put an outstanding squad
together and that was shown during the summer. We tried for three of their
players, Nathan Doyle, Garry Thompson and Alan Connell and couldn't afford
their personal terms.
"All three ended up signing for Bradford so that shows what they are about.
"The ground looks like being full again and if we win then the next match
will be close to being a sell-out too."
