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

They didnt overrun us did they though

 

4th in 6 games. 8pts dropped, if they could hold their nerve then we could forget the play offs.

 

Typical City

Garbage all game against 10 men, manage to salvage the winner with minutes to go then fluff it big style

Poor poor performance all round

 

Errr yes!

 

It's been a great season in the main but we are likely to just be making up the numbers in the playoffs, assuming we make them.

Too many frailties at both ends to trouble the better teams.

 

GA's brand of football is awful. I don't get how some people cant see that. You can virtually predict every pattern of play, only when we conceded did we go a bit gung ho - before then it was the safe and steady turgid dross.

 

They should have had 2 pens too.

 

Win at home, draw away, sorted. Keep the faith

 

I hope you've a hard hat on with that comment .

 

ALL the city players except for Humphrys were all garbage today

Unable to create chances and unable to defend and unable to run and chase

* special mention for Lapslie, caused chaos when he came on but not in a good way

 

Well a decent point.. they should have had a penalty.. and overall looked the better team even with 10 men!!

 

Last time out we lost at home

 

He's been mostly great for the past two seasons, but in the last few weeks he’s potentially made the clubs decision for them on what they do re the keeper position next season.

 

Although he has brought us success, I have never taken to him, he has a defenders mentality to the game and yet we can not defend set pieces
Walker must be as thick as mince, waste time take the booking, kick the bloody ball out of the ground anything else than what he did

 

He was useless until moved to his correct position. No Mullin or Wheatley on the bench so had no room to change it. Why Jackson and Swan are getting a free ride from the fans when the other two lads would get pelters for serving up what they did in the first half.

 

He might stretch it, but thinking he might score is really stretching the imagination

 

Would you prefer it if we'd played some lovely footie, like Barnsley and Huddersfield and be 10th?

The 3-4-3 looks terrible when it doesn't work, i.e. up to the subs and then the last 10 minutes. It also looks fantastic when it does, i.e. from the subs coming on until the 85th minute.

 

Powell has to start, our attacking threat goes up a few % when he’s come on for the last 2 games… and a great finish by him today

 

Another absolutely brainless display. A perfect example of how not to play against ten men.

 

I thought Humphrys was as poor as everyone else for 65 mins, but players like him stay on the pitch cause they have that special moment in their locker which he showed for the assist and a few moments afterwards.

I find it hard to see how Will Swan gets back in the team again this season - thought he was really poor
