The Voice - Match preview #44: Bradford City vs Plymouth Argyle Tuesday 21st April 2026 7:45pm

Still need something from the last 2 games

 

True but I was more referring to the end of the season rather than this particular game.

Get a grip for some.
I ain't no happy clapper.. more like a worn down city fan for over 50 years... But...

We have been punching over our weight all season.
We have 3 of our first choice influencing players crocked.
We have just played a very in form team pushing for the playoffs.

I'll take a point and stumble into the top 6.
Fuk sake, some folk are never fukin happy.

I am sure we will miss out, whether it be making the top 6, losing in the semis or at Wembley, but hey, it's who we are.

Better than playing Harrogate

 

Fair comment.

 

Hats off for Lapslie. Constantly overlooked for vast majority of season but ran his backside off tonight for the team. Seems like a great lad too. Decent point in the end.

 

. I’ll let you know next time we are up in Bradford and we can have a meet in the Dolly or any where you name on North Parade and have a chat

 

Grimsby won for the Andy Cook fanboys. So that’s a positive, I guess?

 

Not a bad point in the end, thought it would have been a very harsh defeat and Plymouth offered little other than set pieces. We didn’t take advantage of all the space in midfield though and were so one dimensional. It was crying out for a Pattison.

With the way Alexander and the team approached I think they think a point here is enough.

 

It probably will be, but with the teams we're playing and our goal difference, it's far from over!

 

Bolton now in the play offs as they have a 9 plus GD over Luton. They dont need the win on Saturday so thats something. Still be tough.

Plymouth will end up on 73pts so we need a point from our last 2 to see them off.

Luton are are a threat because they are capable of beating Barnsley and Bolton.

Stevenage and Stockport both qualify. Nice fixtures remain.

 

Normally think you are on the money and respect your footballing opinion. But on this occasion you are way off the mark criticising laps. I thought he had a good game today. Stuck his foot in when required, broke up play, covered alot of ground and won most of those second balls which neither Metcalfe or power did tonight. Thought humps and wright were the others to come out with merit. The rest don't fill me with confidence.

 

I’m with you . A point was a win tonight when the opponent wanted three. Other than their front two they were a team of physical giants who weren’t all that much.

 

I'll be honest, didn't rate Plymouth much tonight. Yes they got an early goal which probably dictated their game a little but I was very underwhelmed by them. Decent on the break at times and willing to shoot but I didn't feel threatened by them whatsoever.

We were comfortably the "better" (relatively speaking) team without looking threatening ourselves. Any less than a draw wouldve been a travesty.

 

Well said Ashton.

 

Think we draw with Bolton but Exeter will need/want the win more than our lot. Dont fancy us there. Think we scrape through as someone else will drop pts. 74 should be enough.

 

I thought Plymouth were poor to be honest. Just a set piece side that whinges at the ref constantly, really poor in open play. They seemed to defend well as a unit at times, but really poor in midfield.

 

Jesus. What a set some of you are. Slagging players, basically criticising anything and everything. Still need this result to get in play offs and even if we do, we will have no chance.

What the f@ck is wrong with some of you?

 

Well... that will do.

That was the minimum we needed, but that didn't make it easy to get. Plymouth gave us some issues at times, but overall we were well, well worth a point.

I think once we look past the general sense of anxiety around playing some tough teams in the playoffs, we should at least be able to match all of them.

It's just whether matching them is good enough or not when those games could easily be decided on individual moments or even a shit ref.

 

Ran his socks of and put himself about. Well deserved mom
