The Voice - Match preview Bradford City vs Mansfield Town Saturday 16th March 2024 3:00pm

Same thoughts here. Just when it looks like our season is over we find a result to keep the faint hope alive. I can see the same happening this aft. Like you say, losing to FGR and beating Mansfield makes no sense at all which is why I think we'll get a result.

 

It’s a Bantams thing.

 

It’s our 6th game against the current top 3 and we haven’t lost any of the previous five.

Lge 2 in a nutshell.

 

More like Bradford City in a nutshell. Lowly teams just love playing us, especially when we are at home.

 

No Halliday or Cook

 

If we play Cook and it’s punting balls up to his head , you just know Flint will make him anonymous. On the deck Flint is slow.

 

Player of the season Halliday benched.
Odour with Smallwood.
Gilliead rwb.
Cook dropped.
Smith, Walker, Wright front 3

 

GA read my post!

 

I can’t even think what the formation today is

No cook or Halliday starting. Okaaaaaayyy…..

 

Nothing to lose but Cook dropped is not a bad call because of the opponent.

 

Keillor-Dunn will tear us apart today, and I bet Flint scores. 2 players we very easily could and should have signed

 

Someone needs to check GA for an undiagnosed brain injury because that line-up is poor. Why are our best players on the bench? Lol

 

Halliday on the bench is a bit of an eye opener.

 

He did look a bit leggy in the last match.

 

I missed mid week game slight injuries maybe to much Northern Soul Dave. Anyway up for it today. C'mon City

 

Safe from relegation, no chance of promotion. Meh.

 

5-1-2-2
Same formation as Leslie tried at beginning of the season

 

He took one hell of a knock at Accrington resulting in a yellow for their player.
Obviously played Tuesday whilst not 100 % that's Brad for you.
Bench is a good decision in my opinion.

 

Bit of a head-scratcher for sure. I would think Walker will sit a bit deeper alongside Ritchie rather than Oduor or possibly the 2 switching positions when needed?
Going with a more mobile front line needed the nous and passing ability of McDonald to be effective for me, but the changes off the bench are there if needed.
