The Voice - Match preview Most liked posts in thread: Grimsby Town vs Bradford City Saturday 22 October @ 3:00pm

Always enjoy our visits to Grimsby as we are unbeaten there since the late 90’s, however came away yesterday very frustrated. Yes they brought the game to us and it was entertaining throughout but there is always that “what if” with city in recent times. A few points:

1. Chapman is a decent player however he is unbelievably greedy when it matters, and then sulks when he loses it and most times doesn’t make the effort to win it back
2. Bringing East on for Cook with 10 mins left was baffling. Very negative from the gaffer and nearly cost us a point
3. Pereira needs dropping, and made to fight for his place. Looking like a one season wonder so far
4. Really felt sorry for Harratt

Still really happy with the progress so far however, 13 points from last 15 away from home is a fantastic achievement for the squad. I sincerely believe we are still gelling and improving, the players get it and understand what it means to our fans

Hopefully we put Swindon to the sword on Tuesday night, bring it on

 

Agree with all of that Dave.
I feel that if it had been say Angol, through against their 'keeper in the first five minutes, he may have had a bit more nous and probably side stepped and rolled it in. Chapman seemed to dally a little which allowed the 'keeper and defender to get their feet in and deny the lad. Ditto the other week with the attempted chip.

One thing that I've noticed, while watching the EFL games round up on ITV, is that many sides shoot from outside the box. Some fly in, some of course miss the target but as they say, if you don't have a go, you don't score.
Rarely do I see City shooting from outside the box, in the main we tend to try and play it into the box and quite often get crowded out.

More players have to chip in with goals, we can't rely on Cook to score all the time. Teams have now worked us out a bit - stop Cook and you stop Bradford City.

 

Already sold out, another fantastic backing by our supporters and long may it continue

Managed to get 2 tickets for this fixture thankfully, but I had to be quick

 

Are you going to the game? Make sure you wash your cheesy bell end if you’re anywhere near me.

 

The problem is the ground, we sold 6k season tickets, the ground now holds a touch over 8k with restrictions so there will only be about 700 home end tickets on sale (they will go quick so if you do want to go in the home end I would suggest creating an account with us and buying one now (not that i condone that sort of thing) will be nice to see a full away end for the first time this season

 

See you on the bus Rocket!!

 

Hopefully follow up the fantastic win at Salford with another professional display at Grimsby this Saturday...using the Burton game tomorrow to give the fringe players some fitness and shooting practice

 

Minimum!

 

@NorthernMonkey not sure if you ever got a Grimsby ticket but just to echo what the poster after you said. I emailed Mick Lamb when I was over last week and asked if any Salford tickets had been returned. I was in luck, there were a few returns. Give him a try if you still need one.

 

Enjoy the game pal. Hopefully you see a goal in the mould of the stunner like Lee Novaks overhead kick..

Up the chickens

 

I can only think, he's had a negative reaction to playing on Tuesday. Otherwise he's a starter never mind a bench warming

 

Angol for Pereira not before time.

 

Lewis MOM by a mile so far

 

Looks like Harry Lewis is MOTM again ?

 

Clean sheet a good habit to get into.

 

Not playing well but keep picking up points

Hopefully this is a good sign

Still think we're carrying Chapman and Pereira every week at moment

 

We all want 3pts but have to be happy with a point with today's performance

 

I think you need to find something else to do on a match day, rc bantam, maybe take up knitting, you will be less disappointed.
unless you drop one of course.

 

Chapman was MOM last week
