The Voice - Match preview Most liked posts in thread: Stevenage vs Bradford City Saturday 11th February @ 3:00pm

Stevenage have the 5th highest average age of their squad at 26.9 years with only 7 players under the age of 25 with 2 of them being their goalkeepers.

 

He's certainly better than Bola defensively and not too shabby going forward (better than Foulds, for example), only question is how he fares after so long out with such a workload

 

Ridehalgh is good at getting up and down the line, can overlap and cross well when paired with a decent winger. Not sure how long it will take to get him up to full fitness though.

 

Alternatively, maybe if Odusina had had more game time at the start of the season then he wouldn't look so nervous when he's slightly randomly chucked in there and hoicked out the next match?

 

That could be the slowest side we've ever put out

 

It's their tactics. Balls over the top. Try and win throw ins and corners. Good balls in the box. Simple and effective.

No idea how we're trying to score though.

 

Game as gone as I expected TBH. Stevenage don’t give us a second and are very well drilled - far from pretty, but effective.

I don’t think we’ve been as bad as some are saying. Their chances have been limited and on a plus side Stubbs and Clayton are look positive additions.

We’re sadly lacking going forward. Passing has been sloppy, a result of how effective Stevenage press is.

Need much, much more from Smallwood and Walker - both have been very disappointing. Darbyshire and Cook together is confusing, surely Oliver would have been a better option than Darbyshire (who has been anonymous) to offer an outlet to hold the ball and allow us to move forward quicker?

Greenshoot is we finished the half better. Get at them straight from the start of the second half and we might be able to get back into this.

 

2 - 3 City Walker assist by Cook

what a game surely we cant throw this away ??.

 

Let's hope not!

 

We have scored (in 1 game) 50 % of the total number of goals Stevenage had conceded at home all season prior to today.

How's that for a bloody stat???

Something something Hughes is bad something something

 

Good day for Bantam fans across the world

 

For me the most important thing to come out of this match is Walker scoring, who's sure to get better after his long layoff and more confident.

 

This is so bloody city. Do the double over arguably the champions elect yet Rochdale will likely do the same to us. FRUSTRATING BEYOND BELIEF.

 

I think the dropping of Cook, was a masterstroke by Hughes.

We've seen before that after a fifteen or so game run - Cook sometime run out of gas. No great harm was done - we picked up more points per game than previously and then he comes back with a point to prove and sufficiently motivated

 

Lets hope we pick up our home form and improve so that they can meet your objectives.

 

I just think it's been proven that when we play, even just OK, against our promotion rivals - then we have nothing to fear.

I seriously cannot think of a game I'm dreading, but if I had to chose one - it's probably Colchester at home.

i.e. our promotion will depend on how we do against teams we clearly should be beating.

 

Has anyone noticed Bradford City Latam on Twitter has stopped posting the goals on Twitter?
Parker used to use them on his match day blog on the T&A.

 

Needed a bit of a shake up at half time but let's be honest that is a great 3 points, well done lads.
Stubbs is going to be a big asset, hopefully we can keep him fit but just being around the team is a big plus
