The Voice - Match preview Morecambe vs Bradford City Saturday 19th August 2023 3:00pm

Last season wasn't a success. Qualifying for the playoffs and failing isn't a success. And I've already made my views clear, I think we qualified on the basis of individual excellence from Cook that isn't likely to be repeated. We finished 6th in spite of Hughes, I think. I don't have trust in Hughes, or the way he sets us up, and that's based on watching him for 2 years and taking a variety of things into account.

 

They missed about 3 tap ins. Let's be sensible here.

 

Kelly off, McDonald on.

Flat back 4, boys, you got your wish.

Let's go!

 

Can't argue with that they are far the better team were lucky to still be in the game.

 

Lewis has been absolute shite this season.

 

Well we switched it up, bud, so Mark Hughes sees what you saw.

It wasn't working.

We can't pretend it was working if we're not even getting a shot on goal, and nobody is going to say otherwise.

All I'm saying is let's see what happens.

 

Average team with three or four poor players. Lewis must be terrified. Defence shizen.

 

Big call by Hughes. Hopefully, it is a back four

 

And at last the penny drops. Took Hughes 30 minutes on Tuesday but he's bettered that today with a whole half.

 

Lets put it down to trial and error. This is a promising move.

 

Macdonald on - taking that as a positive switch.

 

I definitely think the midfield is unbalanced needs another defensive or box to box midfielder alongside Smallwood. You can’t do anything without the ball

 

Yep.

We might never see that formation again, yet some already written us off.

That's exactly why it makes no sense to jump the gun.

Anyway, enough whining.

Let's get back in this.

 

So they are as dire as us in front of goal then eh...

 

So hughes says Richards fits our system comment didn't last 24hrs

 

He's still on the pitch playing left back, no?

 

Is Smith made of paper?

 

The lads called him WH.

 

Take a bow

 

A weakness from last season conceding from free kicks and corners - obviously not addressed over the close season.
