The Voice - Match preview #26: Huddersfield Town vs Bradford City Saturday 24th January 2026 12:30pm

Possibly to do with a fair few of us seeing the drop off in energy, attacking intent and product since November.

 

Lincoln will tear us apart on Tuesday if we go to their place and play like this.

We've gone from a back 3 with outlet wingback play, to practically a flat back 5 and two sitting midfielders. We are going to get nowhere with a slow static back 7.

 

Don’t be such a dear, we are third in the division . Just say we are not playing very well but that drama is wasted on adults

 

agree mate but GA has to change his attitude and play on the floor and give Humphrys a bit of help. Can't criticise Humphs when he's constantly left alone up there.

 

The HT stats show what a bin-fire of a performance that's been.

 

Why? There’s no colour clash, I love to see us in claret and amber!well that was a toothless, lacklustre first half, hope he makes some tweaks, city fans quiet too, get behind em please!!

 

We could have Messi up top, if all he gets are channel balls or heading practice for the defence, he wouldn't play well either.

It's tactically brainless.

 

Alexander must make a couple of changes second half, if he's going to consistently play Humphrys in that position even Stevie Wonder can see he's not happy playing it (and I'm being kind to the lad) then we may as well play with 10 men, Bobby's not in the game although not on his own, but if your creative players are in the game its difficult to make chances, we have little outlet apart from long ball, he has to make changes.

 

I really hope that was our poor half… if not… ooooh boy

 

Shit Tic-Tac's. You might as well have kept Cook and played him. At least he'd have given Wallace a game up top

 

Sibley for this lad at H/T - please no Tyriek Wright, Kavanagh or Leigh, they couldn't stand this type of football.

 

I’d take Neuf off and bring on Mr Reliable Halliday

 

I don't disagree, but Humphry doesn't even offer anything physically. He's been no worse than anyone else though - awful, awful performance

 

Swan and Humph for the rest of the season is a bit of a nightmare.

Id even try Kav there for the second half.

But we need a real striker no matter what GA says. Gonna cost us IMO.

 

Well, so far off it that half. Our form is a real worry. It would always such an outside chance to finish in top two, but looking at this I think next week is going to be pivotal in our chances to get into the play offs. Best thing by far is we are only one down. We should be well out of it already.

 

I genuinely don't understand how we can put in a performance like that in a derby.

I don't even think Huddersfield are that good. They seem to have done a bit of homework on us but we're lacking even the basics today.

 

56% passing accuracy says it all really.

 

Still a 7 point buffer and Luton currently losing which helps.

 

Well that was shite, surely it can only get better second half?city fans you need to get behind the lads too, been too quiet

 

Honestly, if we could attack like we did in the first 3 months we would tear these apart.
Our defence today is appalling but town aren't capitalising and for all their huff and puff they're making as many mistakes as us, seen better teams than these this season. We need to reprise the second half as against Cardiff last Saturday and we may just get something out of this game.
