The Voice - Match preview #23: Mansfield Town vs Bradford City Thursday 1st January 2026 15:00

Three

 

2nd away game in a row where we've started well, missed a big chance and conceded poor goals.

Every player has looked very sloppy with poor touches, poor passes and too slow, not 1 outfield player comes out of this half with credit.

 

I’d take Wright off now just doesn’t look interested today.

 

Could have played some circus music for that throw he lobbed at Humph

 

Alexander needs to step back and see just how many of these players really are league one level, and if not, why is he playing them?

 

I see I've not bothered to turn up again.. and we're just as shit against portvale.. time to watch up people

 

Max Power having shots from the corner flag now

 

Take a CB off at HT and try stack another body in a position we can hurt them in. Playing it on the deck is surely far more beneficial? Get Sarce in the 10.

 

He must hook kav and byrne at HT

go four at back to stop the rot. humph and Swan up top. Move Ty to left wing. Neuf on for kav to play RW.

 

Maybe we are keeping it tight until 70 minutes and then going for it?

 

I don't know what everyone else thinks about Gary Jones as a commentator but I really don't think he is that good. He seems to decide early on what his moans are and sticks to them often when they are not true. He was going on at Byrne then saying Oates has targeted him yet it was Wright wrestling him and it's Wright that's been beaten twice for pace by Oates.

 

Bit harsh the Neil Byrne chants…

 

What is it they say about the definition of insanity?!

 

In an attacking sense I don't think we've played much different to what we normally do, we create little in open play. Kicker today is that a team has actually taken the couple of chances they've created as opposed to missing them as has happened lately. We can get back into this game, there isn't that much between the teams in a poor quality game, but not with this starting line up. Need to bring Sarcevic and Swan on, playing Kavanagh and Tyreik Wright out of position helps no one.

 

Agree.

T wright has no right foot so has been hung out to dry by GA today

 

This defending is a shambles

 

Kav and Halliday off, Sarcevic and Neufville on.

Halliday should have had us 1-0 up early on.

 

Soon as I saw that team I had £20 on Mansfield.Completely baffling changes to everyone except the man who picked the team.

 

Byrne, wow, just wow....

Worst of the season, this.

 

That save has just kept us in this game.
