The Voice - Match preview Bradford City vs Gillingham Saturday 22nd April 2023 @ 3:00pm

Still praying one of them might still actually do something for us but whoever sanctioned bringing in Nevers, Costello, Bola needs a bloody kick up the arse - on top of ridiculous long contract for Oliver and keeping lord lucan DP. Whichever division we are in next season (and I reckon we are about 50/50 to make playoffs) Gent and Hughes HAVE to have a better % success rate with signings.
14000 season tickets already committed is phenomenal, we have moved forward this season but probably not as far as we expected and hoped

 

There's been no best player

 

I was told that was the worst opinion ever last week. Want to comment now Dimitri?

 

A completely bollock-less half and it sums up everything thats been wrong with our home form all season. Its on Hughes.

I admire the intent to try and ‘play football’, but I’ve said since the first month of the season, we should make a simple tweak that doesn’t have to negate the overall style - stop the passing out goalkicks. They’re nonsensical. The only thing they achieve is inviting pressure from the opposition and its been clear all season that it creates more problems than anything positive it offers. Its madness. You can’t take ‘playing out’ to the same extremes that the very best sides in the country do when you’re a 4th division side. Not only that, but it creates this sense of nervousness and lack of patience from the crowd which then impacts the performance as a whole. If we just went long on goal kicks but changed nothing else, I’m convinced we’d see the benefit. I do not understand it.

But the lack of ‘balls’, quite frankly is a worry. IF we manage to sneak the playoffs, how the hell are they going to cope.

Piss poor.

 

Nevers just get him off at half time. He is not up to it. 1st touch like a pass.

 

Dion chilling on the roof. That's the highlight of the first half

 

Nevers is awful. He’s even worse than Costelloe.

Not wrong. Didnt deserve to keep place after Tuesday. Platt shouldve been back I thought that before this started.

 

We can be thankful we are down by just the one goal. Anyone who thought we were going to win four out of the last four games must have been smoking some sht hot stuff.
We have the second half to (perhaps) save our season.

 

Same with Clayton. We have noticeably been less solid without him in the team.

 

Turns out he's just terrible.

I'd hook him for Derbyshire and put Walker on the left.

Yes needs to be off. Don't care who comes on he just needs to be off now. Not at 60-70 mins as hughes usually does.

 

At least Costello got himself in the position to score a goal... Joe Colbeck is better than Nevers in his current age and state

 

For once can hughes do some halftime subs and not wait to 60-70 mins. There's players who do not deserve to start 2nd half after that shambles.

 

Nevers should NEVER play for us again. Absolute garbage. Makes Dylan Mottley Henry look like Mbappe.

 

Hughes needs to make a big difference at half time, players obviously need to up their game but wont happen without a change in mentality and attitude.

Every other result not looking good

 

And now stockport lead !!

 

Absolutely out played, bigger, fitter , stronger, team not wearing flip flops as some claim teams with nothing to play for wear @XCIV_Bantam.

We look a bag of nerves, tired, unadaptable , Lewis and Crichlow slow to learn a lesson, Ridehalgh, Nevers, look lost . Cook isolated

 

Can you drink brandy neat? I have a bottle here but no mixer. This performance is tempting me

 

Well its looking like he's 45 minute's to save our season, really really disappointing so far
