The Voice - Match preview Stockport County vs Bradford City Tuesday 15th August 2023 7:45pm

I’d take Oyegoke, Gillied and Kelly off for Halliday, Ridehalgh and Pointon. Go to a back four

 

Agree. I get 8 for £10 at Sainsburys. What are you drinking, Jon? Nanny State, Punk or Lost (all AF) are pretty good.

 

Inchs cider for me if I’m having a drink!

 

It's 2 of each of Nanny State, Elvis Juice, Punk IPA, and Hazy Jane. Starting with an Elvis Juice!

Decent range for 0 percent stuff

 

League 2 football is soul destroying sh*te.

 

cook is limping bad

 

I'm having a couple of those tonight. A recent discovery for me, tis rather nice.

 

Jon you could never stay Jones didn't hassle harry and get tight mate

 

Solid performance first half. City much better footballing side.

 

Bloody hell please stop cutting inside Gilliead when you have so much space to run into, so frustrating!

Jones said we need to be more defensively minded, I seriously hope he never manages us after a comment like that. Does he want one shot a game?

 

Poor from us so far

 

I noticed he was as well when going off at halftime. Hasn't looked right since opening day challenge when he went off for a bit

 

Gary jones thinks Oyegoke has been terrible and I haven't seen nothing yet that impresses me, his defending or getting forward. Big improvement needed.

 

I love them. It’s the first thing my partner gets when we fly back to the UK

 

The whole back line is playing awfully. Looks like Gilliead has a slight knock, I’d take him off.

Pattison and Smallwood are a good pairing in midfield.

When Odour was out on the right, Pattison and Smallwood were both sitting deep, no one winning the second ball. However he seems to have come in more centrally now and it’s given us more options.

Smith is making some good runs but nobody is finding him, Cook has been kept quiet.

 

Not a bad first half from us shaky at the back compensated by being dangerous going forward

 

A typical half of league 2 football. Plenty of effort from both sides but ultimately lacking that touch of class. A very even game.

 

Dangerous going forward?…

 

Aside from the first 10/15 mins (which were atrocious) I think we've done alright. Wing backs are letting us down again with Gilliead who can't use his left foot and Oyegoke who isn't looking like the player he did in pre season.

Tactical shift to go two up top and play Oduor in the ten has worked and definitely looks a better fit.

 

I love them. It’s the first thing my partner gets when we fly back to the UK

Jones has been a bit hit and miss tonight with his comments. I think even maybe I have overreacted at times during the first half but it’s frustrating that we went from a solid defence to looking all over the shop
