The Voice - Match preview Bradford City vs Leyton Orient Monday 8th May @ 12.30pm

A couple of beers would help ?

 

I don't see the excitement for this game at all. We are in the playoffs. Ok, not mathematically yet but we are over the line, let's be honest.

 

You never know with these things. Another version of the story is that the league champions turn up to put on a show in front of a huge crowd and really enjoy the occasion. Its another reason that the stupid goalkick routine needs dropping today. We need to be more direct and aggressive, keep the crowd involved, build momentum, and NOT give Orient an incentive to play in our half, proving a point in front of 22k anxious fans getting on the City players backs. Nervous energy is a problem, it needs to be controlled by being on the front foot.

 

I think we need a win to build confidence going into the playoffs. If we scrape in, the anxiety will flow into the playoffs. The players and fans need to see a City team turn up in a big game and show they can do it. We've bottled it every time we've moved into a challenging position, we all need to see a City with some cojones today.

 

How are we over the line?. How can you not be excited over a game like this in front of a full house?

 

I wish I had your confidence, we are far from over the line, if we go a goal down and Mansfield a goal up, both fairly reasonable possibilities then it's a sweat over whoever scores the next goal

 

How? I’d say the odds are probably against us
Mansfield favourites to beat Colchester and I’d argue Leyton Orient favourites to beat us.
We’re well up against it today

 

Exactly.
Makes a change from going to see the last game of the season when it’s 14th v 12th having a kick about for 90 minutes.

Can’t wait.

 

Just thought Dennis, I should go down and cheer em on….?

On second thoughts family heading in the opposite direction!

In the fridge in readiness!

I hope everyone enjoys the big day today with a win, 24,500, happy supporters at the end, and 24,500, in respectful silence at the beginning. 56 RiP. Thinking about you all. Come on City!

 

Sod being in Block A today. Gonna be a soggy (very) experience methinks....

 

I’ll have some of that…. It may surprise Orient too as they will be set up for us playing out of the back.?

 

Do we applaud L.O. for winning the title or, do we give them a lot of schit and try to intimidate them into surrendering ?

 

It’s a light drizzle!

 

It will clear by kickoff.

 

What do they want for £3

 

Let’s hope the O’s don’t like our Yorkshire rain

 

Colchester have good form at home recently and Orient have nothing to play for. Awful weather for a day of football but I just can't see us not finishing 7th even if we win, lose or draw

 

We have seemed to go from having the cojones in one game to over confidence in the next. I'd like to see a measured controlled and confident performance. And also right at 'em from the off and not letting them in to the game at all.
