The Voice - Match preview #26: Huddersfield Town vs Bradford City Saturday 24th January 2026 12:30pm

Well then, we shall continue to believe in satanic black magic.

 

Well......im more open minded about that one!

 

Have you actually seen Curtis Tilt.

 

It's a myth I expect some stat freak with nowt else better to do could prove

 

The people I am going with went to watch them play Man City at home in a friendly so have a purchase history

 

Could they have put out a less passionate plea?

I don't know if anyone has watched The US Office, but I'm getting Dwight organising a birthday banner vibes from whoever sent that out.

 

And it's their bring a scarf game.....



But it's OUR cup final.......

 

Not confident that we will get a result on Saturday, If we perform with the same disjointed hoofball we seem to have adopted especially away from home coupled with their expected bounce it’s going to be tough would take a point

 

Great stuff ushering in ST holders into the cowshed it’s the only place you can make a noise apparently. Then they have to do all the TIFO thing

 

?

 

IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY.

 

What bounce, they are still Managerless , no coaches taking training , they all got sacked too! Have I missed something?

Here's a taste of their forum:-
It's actually embarrassing that we're contemplating this fixture, against those lower league skip dwellers.



Think if you collect 5 vouchers from the T&A you get a season ticket.

Dont knock em for getting a bit giddy at the moment.
These are the days they'll be telling their grandkids about.

" Whats that grandad..you were near the top of LEAGUE 1 ??"
"Aye kid...only seems like yesterday now...even went to Huddersfield and we were above them in the table!! Can you imagine that eh?" ( teary eyed he points to framed newspaper cutting of League 1 table in January 2026 on the wall )

Expect there'll be some astute local businessmen flogging half and half scarves behind the south stand on Saturday morning.
Smash a few past'm? Bugger that.

Smash a few of their players. Sign Hogg on for a 20 minute solo. Crock a couple of their ankles... or knees..

I want to see at least 2 bookings of our players for dirty fouls in the first 30 minutes.

They won't like it up'm.

 

Manning is in, sounds like he has taken training this morning too. I know players usually get a day off in the middle of the week, i wonder if he has them in this one to try get his tactics across?

 

Manning will have them organised better than Grant's negative approach.
I expect, much like the home fixture, to be under the cosh for the first 15/20 minutes.
If we can weather the storm and cope with a belligerent home crowd we can hopefully nick a goal out of nowhere and put them on the backfoot. We need to be top of our game.
However good their midfield and forwards are on paper, their achilles is their sloppy defence and often calamitous goalie
There's gonna be goals in this match, just hope we score enough to secure at least a point.

 

First West Yorkshire club in the top flight: Bradford City
First West Yorkshire club to win a major honour: Bradford City
First West Yorkshire club to play in the PL: Leeds, but it wasn't Huddersfield second

None of that really matters because nobody lives in the past better than a Huddersfield fan. They can't stand been below us, I can still remember them being in the old league 2 and I hope they end up back there someday.

 

Can someone forward those comments to Max Power! Sort of thing he'd absolutely love to read. Good Lord - if I didn't want us to win big on Saturday, I do now. Absolute smug town twonks!
