The Voice - Match preview Bradford City vs Doncaster Rovers Tuesday 5th March 2024 @ 7:45pm

A centre midfielder was a priority for me in January Mr Tart.

 

I said that walking out.

Absolutely nothing happened all game, it was a drab, dull affair, yet somehow he's managed 11 yellows?

Bonkers, absolutely bonkers.

 

Utter shite!

Please all get it in your heads that this team/squad isn’t good enough.

Forget the play offs. Season done!

 

I'm more surprised Wilson isn't getting more game time. I've been impressed with him on all of the very few times he's been given an opportunity to play.

 

Like I posted, poor defending for the goal.

 

We looked rusty, maybe the lay off harmed us more than it helped.

 

Six points from our next two games is a must, Accrington away Saturday and forest green at home midweek are really winnable.

 

I'm still baffled why GA went with that starting line up when we had two left backs sat on the bench. Start one of them and Gilliead can play in the middle and Oduor can play further forward where he's more effective.

 

Well what a miserable night, at least the Shawarma was tiptop otherwise it would have been all round disaster.

Who would have thought playing people out of position would lead to such a mess.

We might as well have kept afoka or tulloch for all the impact wright has had since his resigning, boy has that lad regressed

Odour reverted to his Osadebe party trick where every second touch was a tackle

Cook I don't think made a genuine attempt to win one header from a long ball all night, and from the kop end looked like he should have scored with his header chance

Back three just lumping it anywhere. I'll hold my hands up here and cut the lad some slack because this is where Smallwood does the stuff I didn't actually appreciate he did by taking the ball off the lumps at the back and actually playing the ball out.

At least That's the end of any ridiculous hope I may have had playoffs being achievable,I think tonight proved the team isn't capable of going on a long sustained run of victories.

As for the ref, what a pillock. It's rare you can upset both teams but I think he did. All them bookings and a bloke flying through the air with studs on both feet up doesn't even warrant a free kick.

 

Didn’t hear any post match stuff.
Was GA asked about his changes to players positions?

 

Spot on.

 

I'd hope the booing was with regards the referees first half performance.
This is how the BBC reported it "They took a while to get going as the visitors enjoyed the better of a feisty first half that saw seven bookings" feisty it was a Yorkshire derby against a team that looked in form, 10 booking was not a true reflection on tonight game.

 

That is bang on, we play hell about Smallwoods free kicks ETC but a few tonight were shockers from players youd think would do better.

I've only seen the short version where he says the first half was unacceptable. Hopefully in the longer version he is asked about the changes he made because they certainly contributed to us not being good enough.

 

Nowt feisty about it. Probably AI.

 

I went to the kiosk after the half time whistle and was the first in the queue.

Most Saturday games the kiosk involves queuing about 40 deep.

 

Our midweek home games are losing thousands of fans attending.
