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

We were “at it” against Swindon. Had 16 shots at goal and failed to score.
Hopefully Cook will have his shooting boots on tomorrow otherwise I fear another disappointing day.

 

Doubt it,he has been out injured the last few games.Mind,he scored a last minute equalizer against Wimbledon recently.They have hit a bit of form recently have Harrogate,drew at Orient,and might just do us a favour at Northampton.

 

Watched the highlights from their game on Tuesday night. I know it was against Walsall who are woeful at the minute, but Harrogate looked very good going forward and had pace we can only dream about.

 

I kind of think he would be or is similar to Sutton with some driving runs. I'm not sure how good is tackling is though.

 

Well, they do still need points so let's hope so.

 

I agree with a bit more finesse

 

With Crawley and Hartlepool playing each other, Harrogate could secure their league 2 status with a win tomorrow if Hartlepool lose or draw. Let's hope that incentive enough.

 

I’ll donate £10 to BBU, if he does…….Anyone else?

 

Not for me , not done anywhere near enough in the limited options he’s had. If he had it he’d have been busting a gut!

 

That's true,young players in this country have it far too easy,it seems as if you can run fast,that's all that is required.

 

If only the ball wasn’t so round and keep rolling away

 

Not sure it will be Nevers, but we have a few forward minded players on our books who if given enough game time may reach Chapman's heights of glory (remember only very recently achieved on this forum after much berating, and mainly after his one goal!!). We are a fickle lot.

 

If we miss out this season we may look back at Tyrieks departure as a pivotal moment. He was looking a dangerous attacking option when he left. It’s a shame we couldn’t have held onto him until the end of the season as he can’t even get onto the bench at Plymouth at present.

 

Just another example of a player being ill advised by his agent.
If Plymouth go up we might have a chance of getting him back on loan, especially if we go up too.

 

thanks a bunch schumacher.

 

He must be regretting that move? Found it weird at the time, a team that never plays wingers buying an out and out winger mid-season. In his first few starts that tried him up front, not really his natural game but his last start hey used him as a left wing back and he got absolutely slated by the fans, dont think he's even made the bench since.

I can see why he did it, reckon he'll have been offered a decent wage with a standard 25% increase on promotion, agent will have got a better fee too. But it's not like the guy was an experienced winger with seasons under his belt. Think we were his 4th loan and it was the only time he'd looked good in his career so far, should have built himself whilst the going was good, rather than climbing the ladder too soon.

 

Too many promising young players actually ruin their careers by making moves too soon to higher ranking clubs, not necessarily bigger clubs.
He could have stayed with us, got promotion and been a big part player for a big league 1 club.
But no, he made that decision, Plymouth will go up and he’ll be isolated in the reserves probably going back out on loan to another league 2 club.
Baffles me.

 

Don't underestimate the influence agents have on these young players. Some of them are absolute parasites that only have one person's best interest at heart, and it isn't the player's.

 

Harry Kane a great example of a player working his way up. Orient, Millwall, Norwich and Leicester on loan first, and we all know how it ended. Loads of players have gained experience with loans, and I think Tyrieks agent ill advised him on this move. He could have ripped up our division whilst gaining experience and if we went up, another season in a higher division L1 on loan or we could have signed him.

 

Yeah, the agents percentage of fee
