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

As soon as the team was announced we all knew what was going to happen… its worrying when the manager doesnt…

 

I do agree but GA has also killed him by playing him on the right. It's like every time Kavanagh plays we shoehorn him into the left and everyone else has to fit around him. It's bizarre for such a poor player.

 

Couldn't hear what was sung? He's having a shocker but i don't like players getting singled out with negative chants

 

I know - normally he takes an age and still throws it to no-one

 

It's why January is so important as when was the last time we had a team 'on toast', usually we do just enough to win. We look a very ordinary side today.

 

Come on play T Wright in his best posistion and hes still a bang average league 2 player .............hes crap at crosding cant beat a man looks like he tims out of most 50/50s just not up to it.

As for the game we had to be going at least a goal up with thatcwind but going in losing ... .. .....sadly i can see us getting ripped apart

 

Their first goal, Oates literally beat Wright, Kelly, Byrne and Walker on his own. 2 bites at it. Woeful.

 

He forms legible sentences. That's a huge upgrade already on Kiwomya.

 

Kelly, all over the place

J Wright, getting bullied by a striker half his size. AGAIN

Bryne shit as always. How the fook he gets into this team beats me. Turns our defence into a train wreck every time he plays

halliday dog shit. Hate his throw ins, their wank every single time

Why is Kav marking Atkins? What the feck was kelly doing for that cross?

T wright is doing his best wandering jew impression. Cant hold the ball to save his life, hasnt done a single thing of note for us

Alexander to blame. This is what happens when you pick your favourites who are clearly inept at this level

 

Wouldn't get anywhere the squad if it was up to me Lancs.

 

Byrne, Kav and Wright are all just way below the level of players that we need to stay close to the playoffs. There's a few others close to that bracket as well.

This has been atrocious so far, in fact, I'd say we've played pretty terrible for a while now and have done very very well to pick up out some scrappy wins, but we need a massive transfer window to upgrade a few positions and have more depth if we don't wanna slip down the table.

 

Upcoming fixtures are horrendous. We could be midtable by end of February if we play like today.

 

Look at Byrne just steadily jogging back until the Walker save when he reacts but too late. If he'd have been sprinting as soon as the ball goes in behind he may well have been first to the rebound.

 

Happy New Year everyone. Alexander out.

Oh, and 3-2 to City. Keep the Faith.

 

Just seen the second goal again

Not a slight on Kav because he shouldn’t be in that position but how does he manage to be lower off the floor despite jumping?

 

A fair few fans questioned that starting 11 before a ball was kicked, but one or two don't look interested.

 

If theres no subs at HT, then we’ve given up

 

How many times have we said that?

 

Tactically woeful. if Cook is injured fine but he would have done better... a cross came over the top Kav who just was not tall enough ... thats physiology .... Cook would be better if available if not Swanny... Forwards and defence look lost...sort it GA earn your money...

 

Not even ordinary tbh RT?
