The Voice - Match preview Newport County vs Bradford City Saturday 23rd September 3:00pm

Park’s is the worst for duplicating contributions. It’s been doing it for a couple of seasons. Is it an Android thing?

 

Aye its because of the lag when posting and it keeps your post in the text box while it spins to submit. If you hit ‘post’ again, it duplicates. Same on my iphone

 

The drop of the shoulder, then the absolute peach of a pass from McDonald for Tulloch’s goal was way above anything we’ve seen for quite some time. He showed in that one passage of play why he should start every week, (if we/he can keep him fit)?! Once he’s up to speed with match fitness, he could be become a real asset for us.

 

Three times season I've been out the pop on a Saturday afternoon. Three times we've won ! Might have to do it again next Saturday for a bit of continuity

 

If you don't and we lose, we'll know exactly who to blame.

 

Sparks apparently, then Rupp, ……oh sorry wrong thread.

 

Agree 100%. If fit, McDonald has to start ahead of Smallwood imo and once Pattison is back, the pair of them together could be the CM pairing we've been crying out for.

 

Even half fit he looked Quality yesterday and in the second half I thought Stubbs played and stud up like a captain of a team.

 

Happens to me that but I don't hit post again. It's hitting post that second time that reposts it. All you have to do is go back to the forum and your post will be there in the thread. Then delete what's in the text box before posting again in that thread...

Edit. Ironically. It happened just now!

 

Still doubtful?

 

By the same token if you think it did I would suggest you are very naive!
If that's the case I might as well go and manage the team and just sit in the dugout and listen to what the fans are saying at the game or on socials and implement their suggestions the following week.
It doesn't quite work like that.

 

Highly selective response, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

 

Silly comment.

 

That's very similar to Wright. If you remember, he was seen as a 'meh' signing a panic 'buy' following the injuries to Walker and Osadebe.

It shows, that with youngsters, we can't go on their previous form. For example, Burnley fans were raving about Costelloe, but he was poor for us.

 

For the first time since the end of the 21/22 season, we've now got a fully match fit Walker. And it's making a big difference.
Thought he was excellent against Harrogate. It must have been frustrating for him to be surrounded by a bunch of talented by naive youngsters, but his attitude to them and the match was exemplary.

 

Yes. I think there's far more goal scoring potential this season than last. Chapman can also potential chip as he did score seven for Shrewsbury in the division above. I think we'll see a different player - particularly if he's played in his best position.

 

Is that it? 69..

 

But a very valid one. Any fan who thinks a manager takes any notice about what a minority of emotional fans think, is totally deluding themselves.

Sensible and by that I mean grounded fans, who've watched seasons of D4 footie - realise that what a manager asks for and what players deliver, can be vastly different at this level. That's why these footballers at L2 (D4) level.

 

When Roman generals would have a triumph after winning a war, they would have someone stand behind them whose sole job was to whisper in their ear through the spectacle to remind them they not a god but merely human. With Harry Chapman, I think we should hire someone to follow him round the pitch whispering 'keep your head over the ball when you shoot' so he doesn't forget. Only then might we see some get back amongst the goals

 

Detestation? That’s a bit strong. Where have I said I detest him?
I’m generally one to give players a decent chance before criticising them. I previously posted that I thought he did pretty well against Stockport. But, apart from that game, from what I’ve seen this season he’s been very ineffective, bordering on hopeless.
He is clearly an athlete with a good engine, who puts himself about. But he appears to fancy himself as a skilful ball player. When he came on yesterday virtually everything he did was ineffective and several times risked putting us under pressure. He had two or three passes that failed to find a City player. Three or four times he tried to turn and beat a man but lost the ball every time. Whenever he gets the ball he always seems to be struggling to keep it under control. When we’re two goals up away from home and trying to ensure that the home team don’t fight back, the last thing we need is a sub coming on and continually coughing up possession, as Osedebe did yesterday.
