The Voice - Match preview #10: Bradford City vs Blackpool Saturday 27th September 2025 3:00pm

For all his frustrations I have to agree with Alexander, kicking the water bottle is not the way to show it, it might sound old fasioned but Alexander's building a squad that has to be disaplined on and off the pitch.
Weve all been there at one time I'm sure it will be sorted and Tommy gets back to the standard he's show previously.

 

On leaving both Tilt and Baldwin were walking back to the main stand and I asked Baldwin when he thought he might feature again and he said Thursday, as you say Tilt was in a full leg brace.

 

Thurs is better than expected for sure if it’s accurate .

 

I like it, it shows his disappointment and realisation that he was off it,plus he's honest enough to admit it,his game wasnt too bad it was his passing that was woeful

 

I was expecting Baldwin to be out much longer, so thsts a massive boost to the squad if true

 

Injured recently, but was on the bench for the Newcastle game I think. So he’s back fit now but didn’t make the 18 yesterday.

 

I took it with a pinch of salt mate you know what footballers are like what they think/hope the medical guy could have a different opinion.

Today's T&A suggests Baldwin was on the wind up,

Alexander added: “Byrner’s back and Tom’s here with us. It’s only Aden (Baldwin) and Curtis (Tilt) missing from the whole squad at the moment, everyone else is on the training pitch.

 

To be honest I'm not really buying the story from Alexander and it does appear he is playing it down, probably rightly.

I find it hard to believe that Alexander would chose that exact moment to confront Leigh about the bottle incident, and if Leigh simply said he did it out of his own frustration I fail to see why walker would have to get involved.

I can see why Alexander would want to nip it in the bud, but I think had Power been available for the Rotherham game then Mr Leigh may be have been looking forward to a game on the bench

 

He looked way off it the other week didn’t he. Donny away was it? Looked a shadow of the CB we had before his injury. Maybe GA is waiting to give him longer before being reintroduced.

in first games he was brilliant, read the games really well.

 

On recent showings both Baldwin and McIntyre are ahead of wright for CB that's my opinion anyway

 

Any team that have players above Neufville, Touray, McIntyre, Tilt, Baldwin etc will be a force.

 

On current form i agree. McIntyre looks a decent addition

 

Not only that but it keeps Rotherham guessing......

 

KDB did similar against Man City. He started tonight against Milan. And did exactly the same again when subbed lol.

 

McIntyre did well and won a ton of headers to say he's quite short.

 

Current form is 70 minutes against a struggling side though. It feels like it's all a bit too early.

 

Can only go on what we’ve seen so far, Monks. The bar set by Byrne and Kelly isn’t high IMO.

Tilt, Wright and Penno would be my best three based on early season form but Baldwin should be in over Joe Wright for now and Touray as LCB is working well while Tilt is crocked, and Tyriek is doing ok at LWB for now.

the less minutes Byrne and Kelly get, the more faith I have, essentially.

 

Leigh got run out of MK for being petulant.

If he's still doing stupid stuff when he's taken off he needs to grow up.

 

I really dont get why Byrne gets so much stick. Yes, we have better options, but he is steady away when selected and I cannot think of many, if any, occasions when he has let us down.

 

In the 20 minutes or so he played Saturday Byrne was solid and the way he got in front of their forward to block an attempt on goal was excellent. He definitely gets underserved stick at times although he wouldn't play if we had a full back line to pick from IMO.
