The Voice - Match preview Most liked posts in thread: Mansfield Town vs Bradford City Tuesday 8th November @ 7:45pm

We need to be horrible and snidey now. Kill the game. Shocking refereeing.

 

Week in week out players kick the ball away at VP with nothing done, all we need is consistency.

 

Another case of us not doing the dark arts? We really ever complain if a player kicks the ball away, they acted like Platt shot a bloke when he kicked it away.

 

This referee needs investigating

 

10 minutes seriously

Ref beyond a joke

Teams timewaste constantly against us we get a few mins they get 10

 

And damn good results elsewhere!! Happy Tuesday

 

Christ, that was like extra time!

Is there penalties????

 

Rubbish I have seen it loads of times players getting booked for kicking the ball away. Remember Donny at home? Platt had enough time to compute what he was doing. Deserved yellow.

 

Even though I was wanting him to tear into the players after that, Harrogate, er, performance - I like him more for not doing so.

His type of 'you've let me down' type disapproval, clearly works.

And the closer we get to Walker's return with the gap to the Top 3 been not much, then the only way is up.

Can't wait for Sutton. My first away match in centuries!!

 

Great win tonight against a strong rival. Hughes will be delighted,his first game for us was a 2-0 home defeat by Mansfield and they outplayed us. We’ve come a long way forward since then.

 

Somebody mentioned earlier that the constant passing across the back 4 and back to Lewis didn’t happen half as much as usual tonight.
They looked to be trying to move it forward a lot quicker tonight and use Banks and Wrights pace to better effect.

 

Thing is he doesn't even look like he's "booting it away". He looks like he's playing on and playing a ball out to the wing.

Certainly that's how it looks through my slightly claret and amber tinted specs.

 

Oh dear.

Can’t blame the ref this time

 

As I said a few weeks ago Tony, I much prefer us playing away. The difference to me is it’s more mixed up play, a better balance of medium long and short passing is the way forward just like last night. We do it away and yet at home we don’t. The passing across the back four with 8 men in front of you plus two chasers harrying the defence is prone to mistakes and terribly difficult to break down. Fine when you are a couple of goals up but at nil nil let’s mix it up.

Additionally when away, teams MUST come at you, therefore opening up play and space.

A much better spectacle.

 

Have to agree. We need a contract extension sorting I believe?

His enthusiasm is really infectious. Don’t know if you saw the interview, but his mum and brother attended the Mansfield game. He’s a very likeable young fella and a breath of fresh air in the squad.

 

I agree, some grease air is exactly what we need!

First game of the season that I could watch at a reasonable hour while “working from home”. Great performance, everyone battled so hard for the points. Some takeaway points for me:

Platt - always looks solid, the ref should be investigated for match fixing with the red card and the 12 minutes added time
Halliday - starting to look like a lower league Kyle Walker these last few games
Eisa - looked exciting when he came on, hopefully he gets more minutes against Sutton
Cook - Can’t win a header, can’t hold the ball up, doesn’t make grea runs but then goes and scores a brilliant individual goal, but that’s league 2 I guess.

Overall excellent if not nerve wracking, but where’s the excitement without it?

 

Thank the ref best bit of team building and team/supporter bonding ive seen in a long time,he may have just won us promotion.

 

Average keepers are two a penny in the league, i've seen enough in a dozen games to see this lad ain't playing in league 2 next season. Wether that be with us or another team remains to be seen but i saw enough in Pickford after 12 or so games to decide he would have a career further up the league pyramid.

 

@Kevin1954, why are you always so obnoxious with your replies.
Just accept that other people can have different views to yours and, you are not always right.
