The Voice - Match preview Bradford City vs Swindon Town Tuesday 25 October @ 7:45pm

Definitely hit his arm, which was by his side but he leaned in. Not a pen for me, but overall was an even game. We can piss and moan about refs all day - if we don't go up, it's on us and no one else. And it'll be down to a lack of goals. Trim the numbers slightly in Jan, bring in a better CM to replace Gillead, a decent centre back for cover and another goal threat. Perreria and Angol don't offer enough and Harratt isn't contributing either, nor Oliver.

 

Daylight robbery in what sense? They had more shots, more shots on target, more corners. You're wearing Rose tinted specs.

 

Didn't deserve win they dominated the 2nd half. The equaliser had been coming all 2nd half

 

Doh.. meant to say when they levelled

 

The tendency to blame the ref amuses me. Its an abdication of reality. The table is about right. Based on what we've seen so far, we'll be in the mix for the play offs but won't be good enough for top 3. Its a very hood platform for tweaks in January, but only if we're honest about what we need rather than blaming others.

 

Going nowhere unless we consistently find a way of getting service to cook.

He will score we just don't create enough well any chances for him at the moment.

Chapman is like carrying an attacking player at moment. His shooting is woeful, and he constantly gives the ball away.

 

Yet another poor home performance where we don’t do enough in the the game to justify winning it.
We simply have to take more chances and be quicker to get forward into attacking areas.
It was an extension of the Grimsby game.
Not good enough and if it carries on we’ll fall out of the play off places sooner rather than later.

 

Home form is becoming a problem. Too easy to take a point off us as we don't build on leads either through a poor second half performance or failure to take our chances. Tonight was a bit of both.

That swindon side should've been taken to the cleaners in the first half. As soon as we went one up they looked like they'd rather be anywhere than on that pitch but we didn't go for the jugular and let them get a pasting at HT whilst still in the game.

They didn't create much clear cut in the second half but put some decent balls in the box and we weren't stopping them early enough. No surprise that was the source of the handball.

Overall that's a really poor couple of points dropped against a poor side. But we'll continue to have these problems until others start to chip in with goals.

 

My issue was he couldn't see it from where he was.

This doesn't mean it wasn't one.

Rather than blame ref I would look closely about performances of our subs when they came on. Didnt hold ball up and constantly gave it back cheaply

 

Wasn't at the game tonight. I'd like to see the incident mind. Do you think most neutrals would've given it?

 

I’m sorry to say I don’t rate Pereira. He’s a luxury we don’t need. Send him back to Luton to sit in his new 3 year contract for doing naff all.

 

We've had games recently where we got more than we deserved.Tonight we experience the opposite. Better side for 70 minutes but not getting the crucial second. Feels like a defeat.

 

He was outstanding tonight. Not his fault if the players around him ain’t clever enough for his vision

 

There's over reliance on Cook to score from our fans. It's not a one man team.

 

Outstanding? Really?

 

How frustrating of Angol not to square on the right, with two central.

Ball across, real chance we go 2 up and game over.

 

Total greed . Game could have been won there

 

Yes

 

Our goal was a marginal offside call in our favour. The penalty a marginal call that went their way. I reckon 60/40 neutrals would have given it, if seen only once in real time. I watched on ifollow and immediately thought 'sh*t that's a pen'. If it was for us, everyone would have been screaming 'nailed on pen'

 

Tonight was Pereiras best game since coming back by quite a margin, he’s been poor so far.

There were some good individual performances tonight, Platt and Crichlow are solid centre backs, Smallwood excellent, Chapman and Wright ran their socks off. Need to use Wright more he is one of our most dangerous players. I thought Gilly was great tonight too.

Subs killed the game for us and nullified any threat. Would have preferred to see Banks on rather than East and take the game to them rather than sit back. No idea what Lee Angol brings to this team.

Need to use tonight’s disappointment for Saturday and try absolutely batter Crawley.
