The Voice - Match preview #22: Bradford City vs Port Vale Monday 29th December 2025 7.45pm

Yes! Was very similar!

 

Think I'd be giving Swan a runout for Humphrys here.

 

I was just writing before his (great) goal, where is the urgency? Power strolls to take a corner at 0-0 60 odd minutes. Was just wrong. Retrospective maybe but…

 

Mr Metcalfe take a bow

 

Any chance of a sub?

 

Going to be at least 7 or 8 minutes added

 

10 fookin minutes???

 

This is going to be dreadful.

Get some fresh legs on up front. At least they'll run around faster.

 

10 mins

 

This game wouldn't have looked out of place at the bottom of League 2 (Metcalfe's strike apart)

 

Zero composure from us.

Can we stop heading it when no one is competing for the ball and bring it down and pass it to a teammate? This is shocking.

 

Its honestly school boy stuff. Like you say, zero composure. So many of our players shit themselves in possession and just want rid of the ball.

3pts. Job done. But poor tonight.

 

Another poor outing but 3 more points, the more important thing.

Lots of 5/6s out of 10 tonight barring Metcalfe.

 

Far from convincing in terms of quality but it's job done, and another win.

The character, spirit and resilience of this team is too notch. A huge testament to what the club have done over the last 12 to 18 months. What we need to do, is some savvy business in January to add a little bit of extra quality, because we have a real chance here. A real chance.

 

Well done Jenson

Sides playing poorly win!

Anyone thinking foolishly that there are easy games …. ?

 

GA obviously wants us to play on the front foot, to be direct in our play and turn the opposition. Doing that with quality versus being sporadic in your play is a fine line. A little extra technical quality would go a long way, but we can't underestimate how far team spirit could carry us

 

He’s definitely growing in to his role and a goal to top off a MOTM performance won’t do him any harm at all.

 

Quicker we get out of this sticky patch the better, but we are still picking points up thats the bonus !

 

Not easy but if the manager could give the team the tactics to actually have a shot at goal then that would be good.

Amos was shocking with his handling and positioning but he hardly had a shot to save.

 

Banana skin avoided, but overall not brilliant from us.
