Maybe achieved was the wrong word. I’m just saying Bradford squeaked through those ties and weren’t taken seriously until the final (where they were resoundingly beaten) whereas we were taken seriously and against full strength teams played them off the park. Bradford fought their way through with heroic defending against largely second string teams. It wasn’t just Arsenal that fielded a weakened side against them.
Drop our team in the Premier Legaue that season and I believe they’d have stayed up. Bradford would have been whipping boys. That’s what I’m getting at.
