The Voice - Match preview #32: AFC Wimbledon vs Bradford City Saturday 21st February 2026 3:00pm

Two big problems:

1. When we're good, we're very good, when we're bad, we're honking.

2. Recently, when we've started poorly, we've been unable to pull it back/turn it around. We did it a couple of times early in the season e.g. Stockport, Wimbledon at home but recently, if we start badly we can't improve.

 

Half an hour later than usual surely?

 

Should have poured one at 3.30

 

Maybe a lack of desire is a tad unfair, but Neufville in particular didn't looked arsed today to me. Compare that with Sarc's desire against his old club on Tuesday and it's night and day.

 

The left side today was a problem.

Sibley being chucked in is not helpful to him, he doesn't have match awareness or know how to play in a system with his team mates.

Touray is like a yo-yo - LCB to LWB to LCB - it's unhelpful to him. He needs to play mainly in one position not keep changing. He's constantly having to work out on the pitch he should be.

Kelly - sorry but is the weakest of our LCBs. It would have been better to play Touray there.

The whole left side was a problem and that's where the first goal came from as well.

 

That's the problem though isn't it? That wasn't isolated to today. He did the same at Mansfield after back to back home wins.

 

But as I said earlier Park, the man doesn't learn, does he?
How many times this season has he ripped the team apart for away games especially, which has cost us games and as a result terrible performances?
Today was nothing short of abysmal and that is solely down to Graham Alexander - again.

 

The whole side was a problem so why not change it a lot sooner ??? Rather than simply walking straight into another loss ok him stood there all angry but he created that problem today .............. sadly should we see off Rotherham with no doubt our strongest line up he will change it agsin for the Reading game

 

Madness making wholesale changes.
Madness letting Cook go and bringing in Mullin.

 

Even with that starting 11 I believe the fans were hoping for a better performance, today has been dire once again away from home, we need answers why he made so many changes especially our attacking options after we'd played the last two games with virtually the same starting 11 apart from injuries and suspensions ?.

 

We would all been delighted with a top ten finish last August, but if we fail to make the playoffs it will be a major disappointment and could have knock on issues for next season
Can’t see any of the loan players gaining a permanent contract on what we have seen so far far

 

WTF was that starting line up GA?

was always going to lose that match. Don’t understand why so many changes when we play a poor side at home on Tuesday.

 

Will the radio Leeds lads pull him up on it ?????? Because he fooking deserves pulling up big time for that fooking shambles

 

Any manager is only as good as his last result and that along with Lincoln Mansfield and Huddersfield results must rapidly empty his "points in the bank" total he has a history of tinkering with the team leading to results like today's unfortunately he doesn't seem to learn
Yes credit to him for getting us in the top 2 before Christmas but the season doesn't end at Christmas
Add up the number of points dropped due to him tinkering and see where we would be in the league
The big question to ask yourself is has he taken Bradford City as far as he can or will he look at himself and regret his crazy starting eleven in away matches and act upon it I don't and never will buy this need to "rest" professional footballers ease off on the training and use the energy for game days if stamina is a problem

 

I mean, yes, although my point was - why start with it, then it wouldn't need changing!!

 

"Spin the wheel!

Where will it stop, ladies and gentlemen...?

LOUIE SIBLEY!

All right, and as per the 'Away Day Randomizer' supercomputer, he will play at...

LEFT WING BACK!

Okay, thats unusual, we'll just have to make a reshuffle here, and a little tweak there, because as we always say folks: The Wheel of Away Days must be respected!"

when I saw the line up, I thought he must know something we don’t. We were playing two up top, which we don’t play. The midfield was once again open and at time chaotic. Two of the players had not played with each other. The back three. I thought we only play Kelly if we are seriously short of defenders.

 

How the hell do we keep selling out away games when the team dishes up shit like that time and time again.

 

Only thing I would disagree with is he will play Jackson upfront as he runs around a lot but everything else is spot on. A bit shit if you go away from home a lot as the form has dropped off a cliff away but the home form should see us clinch a play off spot.
Thank Christ I don't get to many away games this season.
