The Voice - Match preview Most liked posts in thread: Bradford City vs MK Dons Tuesday 13th February 7:45pm

Wouldn't get carried away after 1 home win in 2 months. We need to back it up on Saturday against the type of opposition we're notoriously bad against in recent times.

Besides, we're still in the bottom half with only 14 games remaining having played more than every other team around us, 2 more than some. Around 75 points is needed to obtain 7th, so we would need to win 11 of those remaining 14 matches to stand a chance, 10 if we're lucky. Can't see it myself so some perspective is required.

On the plus side, long may this continue! Nobody would have seen us getting 6 points from Wrexham and MK Dons, a very welcome surprise considering all the doom and gloom lately. Great to see Calum scoring. I'm still not going back just yet though, however if we beat Sutton to record 3 league wins in a row I might be swayed.

 

The defence were superb tonight you could have picked either one for MOM

 

I thought Gilliead did a fantastic job at left wing back, keeping the MK winger quiet and then moving into midfield - MOTM for me but all deserve credit.

 

Their movement off the ball was as good as any side I've seen this season, but they couldn't put it together which shows GA has got this defence doing the right thing most of the time.

Mocking their possession based football with 10-15 minutes to go while 4-0 down was sweet though

That's when style of play just becomes completely brainless. What use is having the ball in your own half when all you're doing is effectively heaping more soil on your own casket.

 

Strange how a defence can look more solid with a solid confident goalkeeper behind them.
We’ve had Carlisle’s pants down. Walker is definitely an upgrade.

 

Oduor is a very talented footballer I question his work rate at times but not his talent

 

The first twenty minutes of the match was vital for us. Withstanding the really good quick football they were playing Tomkinson in particular made some great last ditch tackles. If they had scored then the result could have been much different

 

It ok Sutton coming here to set up defensively but they currently stand 7 points off safety played one more game and have a minus -10 goal difference ............. a point here may have been a good result earlier on in the season but there at the point where they have to go for it

 

I thought even though the crowd was well down those who attended generated a great atmosphere but we should have after scoring 4 times.

 

Tactically it was a masterclass from Alexander, knowing MK like to play out from the back into the space between the lines we sat deep and compact and pressed as a compact unit. It completely nullified them as an attacking threat, then be clinical with the smaller amount of possession we had. 28% possession but creating the better chances is best performance yet from GA as our manager. I've rightly questioned some his decisions and personnel used but going back to the 3 centre backs he used night is the platform.

 

Dunno whats coming over me, actually contemplating going down tomorrow. usually its a cut and dried ‘no’ for midweek games these days!

That may be more down to the ‘half term escaping mad house’ factor than a ‘expectation of entertainment/result factor’, mind!

 

Speedy recovery sir.

 

Definitely AI.

Just Ask Alexa for the preview of City v. Sutton this Saturday, it will be word for word what appears on here on Thursday. She will even give you the result for tomorrow night now, alongside Saturday's result and the odds you should have taken with the bookies.

 

Get well soon. Stay warm and safe, a football ground isn’t the place to be on crutches. .

 

Just got to hope the pitch helps us and it becomes a battle.

 

8 did.

@Botswana Bantam nailed it .

 

Been around for a while now, it's an EFL ruling, everyone has the same U14s rule. Same in the PL, but I think clubs can alter to higher, as Chelsea and there was one more but cant remember who now, they changed their policy this year away from the PL rule, to have no unaccompanied U16s in the ground.
