Bradford (Park Avenue) manager Craig Elliott has confirmed that he does not believe in resting non-league players, showcasing his ruthless side in a midweek match.
Avenue is set to host Morpeth Town in the FA Trophy first round, having already won three games in the competition this season. They currently sit third in the Northern Premier League East Division, remaining in the title hunt.
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.
Elliott's team has had seven draws from 15 games, which is the primary reason they are not currently leading the league.
