The Voice - Match preview Mansfield Town vs Bradford City Saturday 2nd September 2023 3:00pm

Smallwood never loses ability to smack free kicks out of play

 

Get the new lads on. We’re not gonna score in a month of Sundays. Aimless stuff. Doesn’t seem to be any tactic or directive at all.

 

Awesome game of footy.

Embarrassingly bad from both teams.

 

No it won’t bloody change. Not from me anyway.

Not while we are watching this repeated negative dross week after week that Hughes serves us

 

Go on Bobby lad!

What a fantastic game this would be to make his mark in!

 

Pointon on for Odour

 

He's just showing all these Haliday fans how shit he really is.

 

Lucky let off by ref

 

Pointon has to start. Everything he does looks a league above

 

Come on son lets have a goal from ya.

 

It's just our luck that every break is falling to him instead of Odour who ran out of steam after an hour.

 

Patience, young Padawan, better to have the lad running at tired legs than being crunched in the 2nd minute by a League Two clogger!

 

One goal either way will win it.

 

This is a hard fought, competitive, pretty standard game of L2 football. In case it's escaped your attention, we are in L2 so we, like Mansfield, have L2 ability players. Maybe you should go and support a PL team if you want to watch better standard players.

 

It's funny how all the best teams in League Two are suddenly "crap" when they play us.

That's a compliment, I'm sure!

 

Also reassuring to know we still have our trump card to play when the game us becoming a struggle.

 

Mansfield starting to get on top as fitness begonning to tell

 

We also have a competitive budget, top 6 apparently. I've Idea who is spending it... Because it's nobody at Bradford city.

 

"So many goals in league 2 this season", says Jamie Raynor.

Yep...and we've got 4 in 6 games.

 

Mansfield also have all of that. As do Wrexham and Stockport.

See the pattern?
