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

Yet after port vale when we suggested a better team would have beaten us comfortably, People poo pooed that idea.

This has been coming a mile off. We have scrambled wins which is fair enough but it's not sustainable playing how we have been

 

Frightening how quickly the heads went down as well.

 

My 12 year old lad could out muscle T.Wright


Cowardly performance from him.
If I never see him in a city shirts again that'd do me.

 

What is Kav meant to do with long balls forward aimed directly at him ffs

 

They're cutting through us like a hot knife through butter.

 

Why dont they look bothered? 3-0 down, nothings working... and we dont challenge. Letting them win easy balls, easy headers, gifting it to them on the deck.

Show some desire ffs! Charge into someone, show a bit of grit, look like you aren't accepting a 3-0er at least

 

I can accept results like this as the closeness of this division will dictate an off day here and there. What I find to hard to take is the manager putting out a team with square pegs in round holes. Something we simply can not afford to do it we are serious about a promotion push. Alexander has done an amazing job with what is a squad lacking real quality but this performance today is on him.

 

Hopefully the powers that be now give this quad a huge boost and shift out a lot of these lads ............if no incomings in then the owner is happy for us to stay where we are

 

Power, take a yellow card now. Game has gone, a cheap free kick will do.

 

But I fail to see that doing it this way is a good idea tbh? Surely an honest conversation with Sparks would suffice? Unless he wasn't very happy with the direction of all the recent transfer discussions they have had? Not exactly good for morale and confidence a beating like this....

 

If Tyriek Wright, Byrne, Kavanagh or Kelly get anywhere near this squad on Sunday then GA must be blind.

 

Makes no difference but surely referees have to get that call right?

 

Got a house full otherwise I'd have switched this off.

 

When did handling the ball become allowed?

 

I was thinking the same

 

"It was very hard to tell that it was handball when the player dived and saved it with his arm"

 

Another round of fixtures and another crazy set of score lines with none of the top 9 going into today's games winning

 

Terminate wrights contract. Hes dog shit

 

Thought we went 4231 but we haven't, same shape and Touray tucked into LCB, Tyreik LWB.

All on GA this one. Cant stick to what clearly isn't working to this poor of an extent.

 

It does make a difference though m8.

2-0 with a penalty is very different.

Admittedly we don’t deserve anything but those decisions are the easiest a ref will get and they have to get them right.
