The Voice - Match preview 5: Bradford City vs Carlisle United Saturday 7th September 2024 3:00pm

Also never understood that one haha

 

I'd happily boo Lampard, and would have no objections to sacking his uncle and dad either, and he never even played for us!

 

The sort of pettiness i can fully endorse.

 

Yes I saw that and he was out of position a couple of times but he has hardly had time to adjust so he is forgiven

 

Another strange one for me is when Akinwenwa basically got a standing applause when he and Wycombe smashed us, now that is cuckold vibes. We went down that season as well...

 

Carlisle even have a clip of a Bradford fan having a selfie with Lewis as he gets of the coach

 

Lets just hope now we are finally getting on the right track and he finally gets that Jamie Walker is key to where we end up this season

 

That's the bit that gets me Steve, WE gave him his first break in football. His career was going absolutely nowhere, he said himself he was considering other options. He then plays Mr Bradford City for a year, first club to sniff round him, Barnsley and he gets his head turned and goes completely off the boil before jumping ship to what was a terrible move for him in every aspect barring money. He absolutely should get booed just like Vernam and Watt, that's football and Harry will have expected it. Anyone upset that he got booed needs to stop being so soft

 

I thought Jamie had a great game on Saturday but I was really surprised GA kept him on the pitch for the full match.

 

The difference was that Wyke barely touched the ball on Saturday so we don't know if he'd have got booed. He did get jeered when he missed early on

 

You lot were always friendly like that at the old Boleyn ground....

 

This made me laugh when I was watching the Lee Pearson vlog. Sign on the back of the Kop...

 

Bloody weird that one! Although that probably proves what a god awful squad, manager and soft underbelly we had that season

 

I think with no midweek game to worry about he was keen to give him as many minutes as possible, plus Jamie earned the right to stay on with his performance

 

I agree 100% he earned the right to stay on, but a tired Jamie Walker is only a breath away from an injury or a red card. Plus he would also have earned a deserved standing ovation.

 

Family club m8, Renowned East End hospitality

 

I was just pleased he looked just as strong at the end of the match. He looks like he's the potential to get better and it's certainly added competition in the one area where there were question marks.

 

Personally I hate the clapping of the subs just for warming up.

 

Ok chaps, thought I'd post a few comments from 'enemy territory'.
Decent game, thought there wasn't a great deal in it and I don't think too many would complain if we had nicked a point. Alas it wasn't to be, so hopefully we can even things up on the 18th January at Mecca.
Best game I've seen Cook play, as I was a bit bemused the way some of your fans seem to be fawning over him, every time I've seen him play (which was 4 times the season before last) I always thought he was slow and ponderous, and a lump of lard seemed to spring to mind, but he linked up well with the other big lad up front (Walker??). Smallwood and Wright were the other two that stuck out for me.
Unfortunately for us Wyke seems way off what we know he's capable of, however Jones, Biggin's and the lad on loan from Bournemouth 'Sadi' all look like they can be the real deal. Put it this way if come the end of the season we are near where we are in the table at the moment, then I'm going to be bitterly disappointed.
I heard some of your fans giving Lewis a bit of grief, but I don't think it bothered him too much, but thankfully he is now starting to show the kind of form we all hoped he would have, although he could take partial blame for your first goal as I'm not sure why he had to give it to Mellish, when your two guys were breathing down his neck, (although Mellish should have put his foot through it).
Anyway, decent game great atmosphere and good luck for the rest of the season (except of course when you play the mighty Blues on 18th January).

 

Cook is worshiped here because he continues to put the ball in the net and will probably finish his career as our second best goalscorer in our history. Any weaknesses he has is overlooked because of that fact
