Match Thread #39: Burton Albion vs Bradford City Saturday 21st March 2026 3:00pm

Baldwin switching off doesn't negate the need for the keeper to do his job.

 

Burton commentary pretty decent. They are as suprised as us that we’re losing.

 

His positioning is consistently woeful

 

We don’t come back from a goal down away, another defeat guaranteed.

 

What about when Baldwin misjudges a simple header and Walker came to his rescue then saving the one on one? That doesn’t count I guess?

 

Frustrating half, far from a bad performance but haven't taken the chances and it's cost us.

 

My only criticism is that Swan needs better support and Humps should have come on to the right as our only positive attacking play was the link up with Pointon and Wright. I don't rate Neufville much but he gets no support whatsoever

 

I said a month ago , he should move on at contract end. Doesnt have the confidence to play sweeper keeper , doesn’t dominate the box , like modern keepers . Taller and he’s finding it hard to get down . Still can pull of the blinding save but we need to progress.

 

Get over Andy Cook leaving. It’s happened and it’s time to move on. He scored zero goals in 8 league games here this season. He wasn’t good enough.

 

Depressingly predictable, I'm afraid.

We could come back in to this (and should) ut i have zero confidence in us to do it.

Another frustrating 45 to follow in all probability.

 

Pointon should score.
Wright and Pointon looked busy.
Anyone giving Wheatley grief, interested to hear POV’s on Swan who I think has offered even less.
Weak goal to concede.
Big second half.

 

City's best current finisher strikes again
For another club of course

 

Not sure if its the mask or if he’s struggling with sun in his face, but certainly looking off it so far and needs hooking!

 

He’s moving on, get over it .

 

Cook wouldn’t have scored any more here. Joe Taylor was the answer. Been on fire for Wigan and bagged again today. Pace and presses. But Rupp wouldnt pay for him even if Hudds had been willing to loan to us.

 

We’ve had the better chances.
Would be great to see Humphrys come out firing second half

 

He wouldn’t get game time that’s why HE wanted a move . I say bring back Bobby…oh.

 

Alexander.

Why do you think 1 up front having to run from thier own defence is a good tactic to win games.

Take a chance ffs.


We got found out months ago.

Same tactics against every team.

 

Joe Wright on the bench every week, the stats show a 7,3 average rating. the rot seems to haveset in since he's been left out.

 

Still our player.
