The Voice - Match preview Barrow vs Bradford City Wednesday 1st January 2025 3:00pm

Definitely. I think I'd said 4?

The issue is the state of things after dropping two points today.

Our squad is much, much weaker without our only goalscoring forward. We were in touch with the top three, now we've fallen behind again (4 point gap).

We shouldn't understate the damage this result and performance has done, I know 7 from 9 is good, but we need consistency to get up there and stay up there and that's going to be much harder to find for however long Cook is out.

 

Not to mention the appalling free kick near the end which he took away from Bobby and then failed to beat the first defender. Unbelievably inept from such an experienced player.

 

Just a guess. The way he was described when going off. Usually anyone getting taken off, particularly Cook, who is very good at coping with knocks, will miss three or four matches.

Hope not!!

 

Your happy with 6 years of mediocrity so your easily pleased

 

We all know this won't happen with our current owner and CEO. Happily eat my words if we get a quality CH, striker (x2) and a good goalkeeper to challenge for Nr 1.

 

Remarkably, we are still in the hunt. Few other results went our way. Where did Salford come from????!!!!

we do need to recruit well in january to kick on.

this defence isnt good enough and never has been. We don’t score enough goals to allow defensive incompetence like that shown by Baldwin today.

 

“Oliver just needs a run of games to click”

Radio Leeds input from fans putting a smile on my face as usual.

 

Even the random commentator had a go at him for that, so, so poor!

 

Yes I am!

 

Sadly i agree.

Rupp out

 

No. He's happy with 7 points out of 9.

Some of us are not going to wallow in the past and stay negative. Christ!! I bet you and the other negatives still want to sue the government over Covid.

Decent point in the end, but for Baldwin's daft error and, let's not forget, better finishing - we'd have won.

Onwards and upwards!!

 

But as we know mate if not for the armature defending it would have been 9 points from the 9 available, if Huntingdon is 80% fit I'd play him for his experience and how he helps others through their game, there wasn't any need for a challenge from Baldwin (sorry Pattison) the man was going no where at that speed, but Baldwin presented Barrow with a belated Christmas box, was Walker slow getting down to the pen it was hardy hit with any venom.

 

Make that top 4.

Crewe have absolutely mugged Carlisle

 

The one at the very end was pathetic, he couldn't even beat the first defender, but I thought on todays showing he was the least of our worries.

 

Would you really?

You think a draw against Barrow is a good result? Really?

 

It was terrible defending and allowed a team who had shown nothing a path back into the game. As you say his distribution at times is all over the place and thats apparently his best asset.

 

How long is Cook out for?

 

Certainly on here .

 

Armature? You back at Crofts Dave?
