The Voice - Match preview Bradford City vs Newport County Saturday 13 August @ 3:00pm

Yes that's why I finished my post with a winking emoji .

 

Is Young fit tomorrow as he was substituted vs Hull and some suggestions from the Hull thread that he was "grimacing" at the point of substitution. I didn't notice at the ground but...

 

I think he was grimacing because he barely touched the ball for 70 minutes. We were playing with 10 men,

 

Harsh

 

If you're talking about Jake Young that comment is absolute nonsense. He supported Cook very well and also got up and down the line to help make us as solid as possible when Hull had the ball.

Mind you, in the Hull thread you also suggested Alex Gillead was man of the match so this comment shouldn't surprise me.

 

Re-watch the game. He didn't touch the ball for the first 20 minutes.

His sole contribution was to cut in and have a shot straight at the keeper after 25 minutes.
He was very poor. Amazed MH kept him on for so long.

He was 3/10, Gilliead was 9/10.

Are you joking? Absolute rubbish if you aren’t.

 

I'm not joking. Watch the game back.
Please make a post of all his notable contributions.
It won't take you long.

 

We played with 10 men.

 

I think Jake Young has made more goal contributions already than Gilliead has in the years he's been here

 

I remember when he came off he was rubbing at his lower back visibly on TV, probably nothing but might have had a nudge going up for a header of landed badly for a challenge. Imagine it will be nothing.

Newport are using a 352 with wingbacks so far but the left sided one has only started playing as a LWB this season, mainly been a left sided forward all his career, so a potential target there for an experienced defender. Looks like they are going to try the same on the right, as they signed a right winger on loan from Bournemouth with the intent to play him as a wing back.

Omar Bogle is expected to partner Zanzala, the striker who used us for money leverage for a move to Barrow last season. Bogle scored a goal on debut but didn't feature in the cup game as they rotated a lot of the squad. Looking at their first games, our old loanee Matty Dolan has started as the middle CB of the 3, if Oliver/Cook can bully him we might see success as from memory, he isn't the biggest player.

Referee is Will Finnie who was the ref who sent off Paudie and Anthony O'Connor away at Forest Green in 2020. The only other City match he has ref'd in that time was the 2-1 defeat to Newport at the Cardiff stadium, after newport had some questionable game tactics to win a game winning free kick.

 

11 passes and 0 tackles in 70 minutes according to OPTA. Angol had 9 passes in his 20 minutes.

 

I counted 11 who started and all contributed well, plus the subs.

You are talking nonsense

 

11 passes and 0 (zero) tackles. Opta know what they are doing.
We beat a Championship Club with 10 men.

 

You have conveniently not mentioned his part in the winning goal corner routine

 

He also had 2 crosses. Halliday had 3, Banks 4 & Ridehalgh 1.
Is that fairer?

Just giving my opinion, he looked out of his depth.
I've nothing against the lad. I was the first to say how well he did against Barrow.

 

7 posters agreed with me. Not a single one has agreed with you.

I'm not sure it's me that needs to re watch the game m9.

 

11 passes, 2 crosses and 0 tackles in 70 minutes. He was first to be hauled off.
He can't have touched the ball 20 times.

 

Sorry pal, I refuse to debate with anyone who's under the influence.
