The Voice - Match preview #35: Bradford City vs Leyton Orient Saturday 7th March 2026 3:00pm

With Wheatley its simple. He has pace and work rate but is not a natural finisher which will probably keep him in the lower leagues

 

Aye but the principle remains the same …never give up until the final whistle .

 

Interested to hear @Bumblebee_Tuna view on today's referee.

I usually agree with a lot of what you post mate but today it must be hard to defend that performance?

 

I'd say we need both. I like Wheatley. I think there could be a real player in there, but we wouldn't want to hang all our hopes on him

 

There’s a misunderstanding going on here. We were talking about the foul on Tilt, not Baldwin’s red card. The Orient player didn’t play the ball - Tilt did - despite what @Park bantam says.

 

@NorthernMonkey tonight after Baldwins red

 

I'm not sure he does work that hard. I would hope he'd be doing some of the running for Sarce, but it seems to be the other way around. Sarce never stops.

 

Crap in the air, nothing special on the ball, poor finisher, no natural instinct. He has no future at Man Utd and will be a lower league player.

Humphrys did more in 5 mins than he did in 70 mins.

 

The best of tbe premiership would not have saved that. Quickly laid set up through a crowd .

 

A premiership keeper would not have kept tha out. It was a good strike from a quick lay off.

 

Big unit but scared to get hit. Academy football is easy as it's gentlemen football. He needs to believe in himself and put his body where he will get kicked,pushed,elbowed or find a new career.

 

Did you miss the match today?

 

Thing is ref blew for any shove in their box so msybe short toda was the best opinion

 

Yeah dont understand the love in for Mullin. Just running about like drunk looking for a fight. Maybe frustration at being benched for so long but his day has gone. Even at div 1 football has moved on.
..

 

Brilliant interview from their manager. Thought he was a bit of a clown before seeing the video and actually like his approach. He was honest about the game in my opinion

 

Ironically, Bobby was pulling the shirt of their player seconds before that challenge and as per the rules, that's a freekick and a yellow card, I believe

 

I'm also right about Wheatley.

 

Unfortunately I missed today but I'm happy to go with the majority. I think on reflection most, you included are relatively sensible with referee calls but I just won't get involved with the referee pile ons on here.

 

Obviously not as I have just given a pretty honest assesment of his peformance. I dont remember Wheatley winning a header but I do remember his pathetic side foot shot straight at the keeper from about 8 yards out.

No surprises you rate him, more than happy to be spoon fed shite.

 

Hes had 3 very good chances again Luton,Peterbrough and yesterday and all 3 have ended up with powder puff efforts i hope like you that we are wrong but will be amazed in say 2 to 3 years time that he is above this level
