YORKSHIRE rivals Bradford City and Middlesbrough will do battle in the League Cup tonight boosted by impressive weekend victories and keen to add a fresh chapter to their fine history in the competition.
“The reaction of the crowd was telling. They realised, ‘goodness me, this guy could be a problem’ and he certainly was. I’m pleased for him because it was his first real start and a very good performance.”Hughes believes his team’s task has been made tougher after the Teesiders picked up their first win of the campaign at the eighth attempt against his former club Saints on Saturday.
“That was important for them,” he said. “It would possibly have been better for us if they’d got beaten but it was against one of my former teams so don’t cry too many tears for them. “We’ll be in good shape and we’ll give it a good go. It’s one we’re all looking forward to. It’s easier going into a game like that against higher opposition with a win under our belts.”
