The Voice - Match preview #45: Doncaster Rovers vs Bradford City Saturday 26th April 2025 12:30pm

Can't believe we live to fight another day cheers Stanley.
City do not screw this up please. Need to get out of this flipping league
Could be a very memorable and emotional day next Saturday

 

The same dissent that...

Right, tone/culture is set from the top.

 

This has been down to players and management.

 

Nothing to do with our chairman or sparky boy. Imagine being a saddler?

 

There is only Wimbledon that have conceded less in the whole division..... The defence has been great over the course of the season.

 

What an emotional rollercoaster Saturday is going to be.A full house falling silent for the 56 followed by a game were surely were going to come good.Theres going to be some tears shed one way or another.

 

When you see the current efforts of our defence and GK there is deffo going to be some tears shed

 

Up until the end of March. Since then it's been leakier than a sieve.

 

That is evened out by Cook's winner against Port Vale in December being offside and the referee for some reason overruling the assistant.

 

Reading Alexander's post match interview it suggests to me that Baldwin really lost his head and he must have said something very bad as every red card we've been given this season Alexander has tried to say it was wrong or tried to defend it, on this one there is no defence at all for Baldwin. Unless this is a misquote or him misspeaking to me this means he agrees the referee had no option but to send Baldwin off. If that is the case he could be facing a ban longer than 3 games.

 

I'm delighted there a three teams shitter than us

 

Heard both GAs and Pattisons post match interviews and both said the ref had no option. Totally undefendable. Smallwood was rightly criticised for his costly red, but that was an in game tackle that he got wrong. These things happen.
What Baldwin did absolutely defies belief and could have cost us promotion. I for one won't be sorry if we don't see him again

 

Where was Jamie Walker today ?

 

The two in 15th and 14th are pretty $hite as well

 

So I purposely did not look for the result until after the game, after the recent games it has been an emotional rollercoaster. Anyone know how we played up until the sending off, if we had played with 11 men would we have come away with anything?
Thank goodness for Walsall being on a downward spiral but we have our destiny in our own hands.

 

I actually think we played better with a flat back 4.

 

I think their intensity dropped, which helped us. That was why McCann made a triple sub in the second half.

 

In my opinion we will promoted next week but my goodness have we made it hard work. In my opinion we will need not far off a whole new squad of players to have chance of staying up.

 

Bloody hell another week of sleepless nights.
