The Voice - Match preview #36: Port Vale vs Bradford City (UPDATE) Wednesday 11th March 2026 7:45pm

Gary Jones had the kid man of the match, and he knows a bit about football, yes he missed another one on one but he dragged their defenders all over the pitch and they knew he had pace so they couldn't start bombing forward.

 

Yes bang on observation .

 

He's doing okay, but its going to be a problem in those tight games when the chances are falling to him.

Its fine as long as we're dominating and everyone in the team is getting chances, but this is a problem waiting to happen.

But I'd still give him 7/10 tonight.

 

Even a Town fan grudgingly giving us a little praise:-

I've just watched Bradford win 2-0 at Vale, having 32 shots, 12 on target, here are my observations:

* the Vale pitch is atrocious but the team is even worse
* they looked demoralised, knackered, clueless & heartless
* Bradford didn't try to play football, they just dinked the ball behind the defence, turned them & they couldn't get out of their own half
* if we sit off them on Saturday & pass it across the back 5, Manning wants sacking immediately
* Vale are not a good team, they are awful & we need to get at them right from the start
* there is no excuse for not getting 3pts against this team whose confidence will be lower than a snake's bollocks
* Bradford have very little quality but they have a ton of heart & play for each other, it's all you need in this shite league

 

Cant give up till the fat lady sings Cardiff have a very difficult run in away from home and it they take points from the chasing pack that's good too.

 

I’ve been one of his biggest critics in the past , and have to say he’s compounded all expectations ….well done to the lad . If he’s got a great left front of three, and a great left back of three playing with him , he’s bloody great. What a finish .

 

Little quality but 9 points clear and we beat them 3-1 the dog shagging bastards

 

Take out Town as a threat they are playing worse than PV !

 

For them !

 

It's why I was glad he moved on early in the window just to end most of the talk about him playing/not playing as it was getting distracting around Christmas. It sounds brutal but it's the reality of where we were in January that he was no longer good enough for what we needed and he's not the right type of player so have to move on from him and remember him for all the good he did

 

Their deluded Loz, when we have hit anything like our best game the opposition couldn't live with us, and he should know we turned his team over big style, shut your mouth son and concentrate on your lot of prima donnas.

 

Yes I have criticised Tyriek this season, but my god he has stepped up a level
Well done and keep it going

 

How on earth did they beat Bristols and Sunderland ?

 

What a better way to go

 

I've just told my Mackem mate only good teams beat Port Vale

 

Bristols? Are you showing your age?

 

Just listening to Alexander who is full of praise for the kid Wheatley so the way he talking I'd be very much surprised if Wheatley isn't leading the line again against Wigan and what quality we have off the bench.

 

I will have you know our lass is still very slim
I think we have a playoff spot, just need to keep grinding out the results
Pressure is a strange thing
Be nice to get a home leg second game
I think we have always been away

 

Funny how team playing crap keep saying it’s a shite league Dave .

 

No I could be arsed to say another “ City” . There’s only one
