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

Get over him. He's gone, move on.

 

The football under Graham is very uninspiring and I also question his tactics, especially away from home
What went on before he became manager is irrelevant. The club and a plethora of managers have underperformed
We got lucky last year with a 96th minute deflected own goal taken is up in the last game, after almost throwing it away, but for the poor form of other teams and results today in particular
The table could have looked very different

 

...and it didn't spoil his hair.

 

How many points have we lost in stoppage time
I can think of Peterborough, Reading and today
That’s 7 is there any more
Game management!
Not as bad as Town though

 

We achieved promotion last season despite injuries to key players at crucial times. He achieved where others failed. And if we reach the play offs in our first season back against far more established clubs it’s another great achievement

 

He may have but my point still stands. The T& A has a tiny %age of sales compared to old .

 

Why lucky , he tried to cheat!

 

So you are referring back to something 10 years ago? I dont recall ever wanting rid of Parky, the opposite. Next.

have I suggested someone else for the job? No. Next.

You undermine Pointons own abilities and determination thinking his development is somehow massively attributable to GA and without him he would be turning out for the dog and duck. Neufville seems to be going backwards is that down to GA too.

That was another very poor performance with very poor tactics in terms of an attacking threat for probably 70 percent of the game. You will drag out your stats but here's one for your 13th in the form table and not playing very well. The guy appears to have been backed more than any other recent manager and we went up last season in a rather fortunate way.

He's been good for us and vice versa but can't be immune from criticism, on the back of poor displays - thats life.

 

Clear as day dived . Looks even worse from behind the goal.

 

I’m starting to think it’s Walkers last season with us . He makes one worldie now and again but can’t command his area and goes down in stages .

 

Absolutely
One of those where he lets his legs collapse rather than it being caused by the defender.

 

Who? Not Roberts who was frankly a donkey with a long throw ? Like Goode last week.

 

It’s absolutely a fair point of view, and of course is correct. GA has so much credit in the bank for me, it will take way more than a draw at Barnsley to change that. He was as angry as all of us how bad today was, which it really was BTW. But in isolation, it’s still a point and not a defeat as deflating it might feel.

I get your point re 9th - but it’s understandable given where we are the season we have had that expectations have changed. We have the best situation we could ask for, which is a chance to correct today’s poor performance on Tuesday.

 

Useless bottles , bloody freaking good job you don’t support that shite 8 miles south of Bradford, £21 million spent on the squad in tha last two seasons or whatever , 1 relegation followed by two utter failures to get in the top 6…That sort of bottler?

 

Just give up. The first hit the midriff and was no where hand ball. Seen the slo mo and the second was a cheating barsteward the ref penalised . So which fictitious pens are you referring to?

 

To play devil's advocate, he potentially heads away that long throw. Similar with Big Jim.

 

111th minute…again . Bet that hurt at Bolton this time.

 

I must admit, from the away end I thought it was a stonewall pen, but yes having seem the replay the ref got it spot on.

 

Yes I did but as soon as you see both replays neither were remotely a pen. At least the ref wasn’t on the lash!

 

I thought the ref was decent today to be fair. Got all the major decisions right and let the game flow, but a couple of our bookings were borderline.
