Bradford (Park Avenue) manager Craig Elliott has emphasized his ruthless approach, stating that he does not believe in resting non-league players.
I didn’t rest anybody; I picked a strong team for Pontefract. Some of the players hadn’t done well enough in their last few matches so I picked a side to win that cup match.
Avenue is set to host Morpeth Town in the FA Trophy first round, following a successful cup run and a strong performance in the Northern Premier League East Division, where they currently sit third.
The team's recent West Riding County Cup win over Pontefract showcased Elliott's strategy, with some players being given a chance to prove themselves after underperforming in previous matches.
