The Voice - Match preview #43: Barnsley vs Bradford City Saturday 18th April 2026 12:30pm

A bit of pace and mobility up front?
Calm down Graham, you'll have us all giddy!

 

Surely just a rest? He was blowing for the last 20 or so against Stevenage and looked leggy. Probably wants to get more minutes into Jackson too for the run-in.

 

I think Swan has alot to prove today, he had a great bit of early season form but I think he's been fairly anonymous in matches for the second half - hopefully we see more from him today.

 

No David McGoldrick at all for Barnsley is a big boost.

Simon Parker seems to think Swan will start on the right which I hope isn't true, when he came on against Wigan and Port Vale he looked lost. Swan needs to be in the middle with Humphrys and Jackson either side.

 

Now then, that's a crying shame...

 

Mullin and Wheatley not in the squad
Two complete waste of squad spaces filled in January
Hopefully Humphrey’s is right at it against his old club
Should have plenty of mobility with that front three

 

He looks like he’s blowing from the first 5 minutes in every game.

Will definitely miss his link play today.

 

I think we win this 3-1. Let’s be honest, Cleary’s goal was a freak, fluke, and Sam Walker could have done better. McGoldrick is class but if he’s missing, let’s take advantage. They are due a beating.

 

Oh ffs!!!!

 

What did I say? Salt and pinch.

 

Simon who? Bit of an irrelevance these days?

 

Major issues on the Sky football platform

Available on the Sky app on mobile but not on Sky+


Looks like it’s a dodgy Firestick type of day.

 

Seems ok now

 

It does indeed.

 

Sky+ seems to be working now.

 

He's got it correct. Swan starts on the right with Humphrys on the left and Jackson in the middle.

 

Awful tackle

Good refereeing

 

That is a shocking tackle

 

There’s his red. Four yellows now to keep up his form.
Rash tackle and a deserved red. Don’t like Power clapping though.

Now then. We’ve got to go for this.
