The Voice - Match preview Most liked posts in thread: MK Dons vs Bradford City Tuesday 24th October 2023 19:45

Pointon going for the cutback was a sign of intelligence in his play. He was actively looking to set up a teammate, as most wide players do in the top European divisions. Most lower league players would have smashed it at the keeper, but young Bobby showed more about his football brain at this moment

 

barring a few moments, id say he did well against Fletcher. Taylor aint the quickest an Fletcher has played most of his career in the championship, so I wasnt exactly surprised to see Fletcher turning him an Stubbs inside out. In terms of ariel prowess, Id say Taylor did well, an the ones that Fletcher did win, didn't lead to anything so no real complaints there. I believe he warrants a successive start tonight

 

Fu@king hell.
What are we doing.
That was 3 against 1 in the 10th minute.

 

FFS Lewis culpable again, shouldn't get beat from there

 

The problem is the forwards. Wilson isn't tracking back to cover the wide player when Halliday moves in to cover the centre forward. It's pretty basic stuff. Wilson needs to get back and support Halliday. He's young and will learn but needs telling now!

 

Osadebe been appalling. Wilson same

 

Half time shout.

They could be 3 up
Lewis disappointing for both goals
Midfield absent
Ref bit of a Homer
Cookie totally absent from the game
Bobby ineffective ( except getting scythed down for the goal assist)
Meh

 

They've played well, helped by two easy out balls to the wide full backs/wing backs and our forwards not really tracking back.

Taken us a while to get hold of the ball and string some passes together. Can't see Cook scoring with the kind of deliveries that have come in in the first half.

 

Not is all lost

 

Still not impressed with Cook, when the ball is crossed into the box, go for it man, don't just stand there waiting for it to come to you! More overall movement please, at least look interested!

 

Cook has been shocking again today.. never moves for the ball.. its like hes rooted to the ground, far too immobile

 

This has been a huge wake-up call. We've a big squad, but thin on quality again.

Ironically, it feels like MK Dons are playing how MH envisaged us playing.

 

Harsh. His first loss, assuming it is a loss and in difficult circumstances.
Will you call for the new managers head when he loses his first game?

 

I have got absolutely no idea how Osadabe is still on he'd have been hooked at half time if it was me very very poor. I have to say KM is having a shocker too. Taylor may have games where he should be in but this one isn't it hes just not mobile enough.

More subs and Osadabe is still on baffling.

 

Absolute disgrace tonight that's not what anyone wants to see from a Bradford side.
Thumped well an truly, cricket score avoided by the heroics from and overworked Harry Lewis.

 

When Hughes and Hodges (correctly) left the club, Gent should have been on the next bus

 

If the spine of the team

1, 4/5, 9 don’t perform, then the rest of the side is irrelevant.

Lewis , great saves mean nothing if one can’t do the basics , like catch a ball and spill to give a corner.

Stubbs and Taylor. Just over powered, overwhelmed and lacked pace

Cookie , completely anonymous and highly likely injured before we kicked off

Midfield 2 Overrun.

Poor from minute 2 to 90.

 

Pattison (when is he back?) Walker and Smallwood. Platt too. All to come back. We’re not gonna be this bad every week.

 

4-1 actually flatters us, not sure I've ever said that after 4-1 defeat. Our limitations as a team skill wise cruelly exposed by the best performance I've seen from any team this season.
