The Voice - Match preview Barrow vs Bradford City Wednesday 1st January 2025 3:00pm

Send Sanderson back to Fulham. Completly inept. Couldn't string a pass, couldn't hold up a ball. Never in the right place when a ball comes into the box

Baldwin. Brain dead defender. completly threw the game away by giving that pen away

Sam Walker - Could of saved both goals. We need a new no.1 If we're serious about promotion

The rest played well, we shouldve won that game

 

Smallwood at the end there, I'm screaming at the TV, GET THE BALL FORRAD, there's no time left, DO NOT MAKE A CHEAP EASY PASS TO NO ONE, what does he do?

Cheap, easy ball to the CB, guess what, outta time.

How naive is that lad? Is it his first rodeo? I heard he was experienced FFS.

 

Its awkward to play a left footer on the wrong side but I think our best back three at the moment is Huntington, Shepherd and Kelly.

When Baldwin has a bad game, he is awful.

Byrne has never been better than ok for a full match. The matches where people would say he's been good will be games where he had little to do.

 

Regardless of this away draw, which is never a bad result - and let's applaud their mentality for coming back.

It's astonishing just how bad our decision making is away from home - we must have shipped at least ten now due to the type of play, that if replicated all season would have us bottom.

Solve that conundrum and we can go up. Problem is our next away game is at our favourite ground. Carlisle!!

Still Cook injured and replaced by the useless Sanderson - I suppose I'll take a point.

 

A very very lucky point.

Overall another pathetic performance. We have far too many crap players

 

7 points out 9. Take that and hopefully kick on again against Grimsby.

 

The spots for second and third are there for the taking. If ever there was a transfer window to roll the dice, now is it. Spend few hundred grand on a proper CB (pay over odds if needed as the best ones are in contract and make them an offer they can’t refuse like Wrexham did with the Cheltenham captain etc) and seize the opportunity with both hands. Hopefully Cook’s injury isnt too serious too though

 

First goal was a pen, can't really attach blame to Walker there IMO.

Second he should have that covered.

 

Draw a fair result, played well first half but created nothing second. Keeps the unbeaten run going.

 

Where have you heard Cookie will be out a few matches ?.

 

Why oh why is Smallwood allowed near the odd free kick, never mind every single one.
Wasted one with 5 mins to go - didn’t beat the first man…. Shit
Then in the last minute of stoppage plays one square rather than lump it in.
That said…. He might actually be our best ball player amongst this shower

 

Another example of Baldwin, Byrne and shepherd been liabilities at the back and Sanders on been a lightweight up front.

 

2 points dropped, but credit has to be given that we didn’t lose and managed to come back.

 

Two points THROWN away . Thanks Baldwin you utter bell. I have never seen a side deflate so quick after that bloody silly challenge . From walking it to huffing and puffing to “ grab” a point . They were garbage too !

More later .

 

I get that but today was a massive chance to get 9 out of 9.
Naive for the first and Byrne just being Byrne for the second.

100% 2 points dropped.

 

Happy with 7 points from the last 3 games.
I'd have taken that all day.

 

I'm sure that's more points than most expected over the holiday period tbh.

 

Lets just pray that Cook aint out if he is then we really are buggered

 

2 points dropped against a mediocre team.

Offload Baldwin. Get JT on loan, he has pace which our defence seriously lacks. Need a new keeper to replace Sam. Should have saved both goals.
