The Voice - Match preview #40: Bradford City vs Northampton Town Friday 3rd April 2026 3:00pm

Nice one, hopefully a good showing before and after kick off

 

I'd rather drink bleach than craft ale to be fair.

 

One too many already, Tony?

 

On the topic of Northampton match day drinks, anyone in playa de las americas? Watching it down at Yolo bar.

 

But they cant score that's the difference, if they park the bus I think it will play right into our hands.

 

I've a feeling Alexander will start with the kid Wheatley up top, he's had half a season with Northampton he should know where their weaknesses are.

 

Another good option.

Good to see.

 

Always look forward to a decent lager when i'm in Europe, don't really seem to do ales in places like Poland where i go often.

 

Recently went to Antwerp for the darts and had a day in Ghent. They had some great beers.

 

hope not swan must start

 

And likewise Dave

 

“Black lager“ or summat …..Phew . Cant remember its name .

 

Worked in Antwerp for over a year. Excellent choice of beers and ales.. over a thousand breweries.

 

I hope this 2 week break has been used to reset and come out like we did at the start of the season, and not a rusty/sluggish performance after a break, like we've seen in the past.
We really need to be converting more of the numerous chances we create. Getting 3 out 4 would be a massive boost for the run in, but a scrappy 1-0 gets you the same amount of points. I feel we need a confidence boosting performance to take into Mondays game.

 

Yes...their weakness was they couldn't score

 

Wierdly, given another 6 games to play after today, but this morning feels like the build up to the Fleetwood game for me.

Nothing less than a win today, otherwise I can see confidence draining.

 

100%. Some on here are just happy with a sluggish 1-0 win as long as we get the 3pts. Its narrow minded and we will limp into play offs while continuing our abysmal away from.

Its time to bring back the early season performances, make a statement and boost our confidence going into this final stretch.

 

Performance is usually the smarter metric than the result for making forecasts. Early season I will always pick performance over result but so close to the end and with it so much in the balance I'd take a scruffy 3 points right now.
