The Voice - Match preview Hartlepool United vs Bradford City Saturday 20 August @ 1:00pm

The first sentence I completely agree with…last two games he’s been quite subdued.

 

Smallwood to Harratt for the second was another example. Two passes and it’s in the net from a ball passed from midway in our own half! Watch it , I’m sure that’s what happened.

 

He's young and learning though. As supporters we will need to have a bit of patience with a number of our players - Harratt, Banks, Young, all young, with Crichlow, East and maybe Platt (even Lewis) still to play long, full seasons. They'll all do something wrong or something silly at times. We have to hope that the learning experience will make them better and they stick around with us.

 

Absolutely agree, Harratt will now calm down after his sending off and Banks will now realise his full responsibility is at both ends of the pitch.

Don't get many bags of crisps lately. Hols to Greece coming up soon and the boss says i have to get my beach body ready.
Said i was trying to model it on a beach ball , that did not go down too well.

 

I was convinced he got booked v Hull, but obviously not.

 

My mistake mate and correct me if I'm wrong! Smallwood only has one booking - yesterday.
Banks is definitely on two though along with Angol.
Cook, Gilliead, Halliday, Crichlow and Platt all on one too.
(Gilliead booked v. Hull)

 

Yes, I was miles off with Smallwood.

 

Eh! We lost last week.

How can we make out things are great.

 

Course he is. Loyal by points and loyal by nature. He'll be there. Nailed on.

 

Bang on the money, even cook himself said the reason why he was so out of shape was because he could be. Now he’s fighting to start, half the team is. I cannot remember a time where we had such depth. Well done Mr Gent.

 

I think conflating a loss being the same as being a poor team is a bit daft. Thats like saying Sheffield United shouldn’t be at the top of the championship because of a loss.

Both those losses were losses of our own making. Nothing to be worried about.

 

I’ll be there on Tuesday.

 

I think no matter what supporters desire in starting Cook every match, Hughes understands the demands of a long season so we will see plenty of rotation of the so called target men to keep them as fresh as possible.

 

Did you guys have any problems with the locals or was the 1pm kick off a sucsess with there being not trouble.

 

Where is “there”?

 

At VP.

 

I didn't see any trouble. 1pm kick off v 7.45pm kick off seemed to do the trick.
