The Voice - Match preview Most liked posts in thread: Bradford City vs Grimsby Town Saturday 9th September 12:30pm - sky sports

Another depressing performance, no intent, desire or drive. The only ray of light was Pointon.

Hughes must go before the next transfer window.

 

If we’d have had Cook and Pattison in that starting lineup it would still have been shite.
Whatever that formation was in the 2nd half needs to be kept and when other players come back from injury they can fit into it easily.
3-5-2 and 5-4-1 I never want to see at this football club ever again

 

Dave i very really call a manager out and never have done, but its obvious things are not going to change, IMO this is not the way a club with our aspirations of promotion is going to go forward, im afaid its time for Sparks to do the right thing for the club si we can all move forward

 

The deflection took it wide of the keeper

Joking aside, it was a great strike and that's EXACTLY what I've been asking from him. Regardless of it going in or not he showed the desire to get the shot away and I'll never criticise him for that.

I've been working today and didn't see all of the game so I won't comment on his performance as I didn't see enough of it but 10/10 for his positivity on the edge of the box.

Let's see more please Mr Gillead because it is in the locker somewhere, you just need to bring it out more regularly!

 

This about sums that comment up :
“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” at no time in the first half did we press Grimsby stop taking fans for fools Mark.

 

Swindon have scored as many today as we have all season.

Dan Kemp was an obvious get. Could have got him for probably same weekly wage we are paying Tulloch and Ofaka.

 

He’s getting more like Adams in every interview

 

This revolving door excuse is tiresome, we wouldn't have that excuse if it wasn't for Rahic. For the last 20 years we've had Rahic,Rhodes jnr playing with his daddy's toy and some kid who doesn't like football and had only been to a couple of games in his life before coming to write tweets for us picking these managers. We need football people making the football decisions at this club and until we do we will just bumble along in the darkest depths of the football league. The only stability Hughes has created is a stable diet of god awful football throughout his managerial career.

 

Walker has been a major disappointment this season. He should be our playmaker like Kemp at Swindon but he has been underwhelming.

 

All 3 past it no legs.

Smallwood laughing during post match interview. Whatever he does now won't forget him jogging back giving up for the goal at morecambe from his mistake. Hughes dropped him but should never have given him the captaincy back and certainly not in next game when he came off bench and first thing he did was go over to Stubbs and take it off him.

Smallwood like a crab moving and passing sideways

 

That's a fair reflection. Yes we did play better second half but jeez we couldn't have been any worse. Truth be told it was a poor game and the quality on show from both sides was at best bang average.

 

Because it's early in the season. Give it 6 weeks and it'll be "we're only 4 points off play offs".

If we continue with a shape that we don't have the squad for, that's how it'll stay all season with the only difference being that the points we're behind the play offs will steadily increase.

 

It's no secret I have been a massive critic of Halliday.......but not yesterday. He had a very good game and was MOTM contender, and he didn't give Eisa a sniff.

 

First post after just watching the game , recorded as out all day .

Dire set up with the availability of key players missing. Completely toothless as an attacking force at the front and from the midfield.
McDonald and Smallwood together doesn’t work
We missed Pattison’s drive big style.
Nothing more to add.

2nd Half
Hats off to MH for recognising it just wasn’t working
Different formation, different intent
Gilly made a huge difference…some won’t like it I know, but facts are facts.
Bobby …well done lad

We made Grimsby look good first half, mediocre in the second

How on earth did we miss the lad Conteh with his Boro connections. He ran , unopposed, the first half, but not as effective the second.

Bobby P is coming on leaps and bounds. I said it earlier in the week , he will become a permanent fixture soon enough. I think that proves it. Lovely passing movement in his assist for Gilly!
The new lads did OK and offered a forward threat that was missing in the first half.

The injuries are now hurting.

 

Bit of bias there Kev, but I would drop Derbyshire to play Young .

 

But, will it happen ?
And if not, why not .. ?

 

I ain't gonna diss any of them lads because o frankly think there is a team in there that could push for the top 3 but sadly we are being let down by a manager who is trying to over complicate things yet again his arrogance will be his downfall.
Yesterday was bad but how many times does he continue to go down this road ?????
It happened plenty of times last season and sadly the same will happen again this season.

 

Last season away at Rochdale.
Mark Hughes.
Lewis, Crichlow, Chapman & Banks.

 

Need to carry on our good home form, nothing but a win will do.

 

We seem to attract managers who are doing us a favour by paying them to fail
Remember the "Championship" manager who couldn't get a tune
Not enjoyed watching us for a few seasons now but as @Bronco says it's hard to turn your back completely
