The Voice - Match preview Tranmere Rovers vs Bradford City Tuesday 3rd October 2023 7:45pm (With Poll)

Can change any manager, but Rupp is truly the common denominator that damages this club

 

There's no grafter in the middle.
No legs to get us up the pitch.
It's disjointed.
Only one goalscorer.
Weak loanees.
Inexperienced players.
Players who are coming to the end of their careers.
Players who don't know how to get promotion.
A manager who doesn't know how to get a team up.

It's never gonna work.

 

He’s a good man, Hughes. I feel a bit guilty. We all wanted it to work. But it just isn’t. I wish him
A happy retirement. He’s had a superb career in the game overall. But he’s not coming back from this at City.

 

He's the guy who bought a business and let the intern run it for him.

 

Jones saying no leadership in the team.
Is anybody surprised when you look at the dugout and Hughes is sat down legs crossed looking as bored as we are.
Leadership starts from the manager and he looks like he’d rather be anywhere else during matches.

 

Well said.

I feel legitimately quite sad about it.

I won't be holding it against him, or pretending he's been the worst manager ever or whatever, he's never done anything to offend me: he just hasn't got us going this season. At all.

 

Think they were taking the p1ss out the manager
That's all they do in training!!!

 

Just like to say good luck to rupp getting his 10m for selling us.

Imagine being told what he wants then looking that we are stuck in league 2 with a ground we don't own and training facilities we lease from a school.

 

The annoying thing is that there’s no decent manager for this level out there right now. The Cowley brothers are football terrorists and we don’t have the height for their tactics. I can honestly see McCall coming back until the end of the season

 

I agree absolute disgrace. I was watching thinking this set of players want to lose and don't want to get equaliser. That's what it looked like to me.

 

If these players think (and I'm not saying it's true) that they can take the piss out of a Mark Hughes?

They should file for retirement right now, because football's not for them.

 

Has he gone yet, if not , why not.
Will be there Saturday , but only out of loyalty /routine.
The squad is better than what they are showing and that is down to one man.

 

A summary of Mark Hughes Tenure

•Played Chapman (a LW) at CAM for half a season an shot his confidence
•Signed Oliver, when we don't even suit his style of play
•Signed a bunch of players on 3 year contracts, when half of them havent made more than 20 appearances for the club, combined
•Bought a bunch of useless wingers last January
Alienated Jake Young an several others
•Brought on a CB for our only winger in a Play-Off Semi Final, just to concede from a cross 2 minutes later
•Parked the bus at home to shit teams
•Played shit football throughout
•Signs players on loan an never uses them
•Plays players in the wrong positions an persists with it
•Changes formation, only to get rid of the players that are actually suited to said formation (Odusina)
•Has his favourites who are dog shit (osadebe)
•Parks the bus when we arent even winning
•Wastes a shit load of cash on players an then turns them dog shit over night
•Takes a club from being 3 points off automatic promotion last season, to just above the bottom of the entire fecking football league


He's had 3 transfer windows, unlimited backing from the club, the fans, upper management, recruitment, the works

His football puts you to sleep. Passing the ball between defenders for 75% of the game. No urgency, no consistency, no pressure, no willingness to actually attack

its time to go. Give him his P45 tonight an send him back to Wales. The man is a walking disaster an needs to retire from management

 

The magic roundabout is Reving up

there is nothing that could stop me travelling over to Vp but that would be the closest thing

 

•Played Chapman (a LW) at CAM for half a season an shot his confidence

- Not convinced by that

•Signed Oliver, when we don't even suit his style of play

- Disagree, how do we suit Cook more than Oliver? Oliver just never got a look in, that's all

•Signed a bunch of players on 3 year contracts, when half of them havent made more than 20 appearances for the club, combined

- That's very true

•Bought a bunch of useless wingers last January

- Also true, plus Derbyshire who is awful

Alienated Jake Young an several others

- True

•Brought on a CB for our only winger in a Play-Off Semi Final, just to concede from a cross 2 minutes later

- Not bothered about this one, don't care

•Parked the bus at home to shit teams

- Not recently, disagree

•Played shit football throughout

- Kinda

•Signs players on loan an never uses them

- I wish he didn't use Oyegoke and Tulloch tonight..........

•Plays players in the wrong positions an persists with it

- Sometimes

•Changes formation, only to get rid of the players that are actually suited to said formation (Odusina)

- Odusina is non league standard

•Has his favourites who are dog shit (osadebe)

- Osa is terrible, I agree

•Parks the bus when we arent even winning

- Nah, just has the doziest defenders in League Two who think 50 touches in the 90+7 minute is smart play

•Wastes a shit load of cash on players an then turns them dog shit over night

- No.

•Takes a club from being 3 points off automatic promotion last season, to just above the bottom of the entire fecking football league

- According to some, being 3 points off the autos was 'bad' lol

 

Same squad that downed tools during injury time.

 

Pah.
Leaving a job in the premier league.
Stop it

 

Rather have Davina Mccall

 

You should be so lucky, lucky....

 

You’ve been as patient as me and even I’ve had enough now. Loved City all my life and I’m past caring. I won’t be there Saturday. I know we have no divine right to be challenging at the top or in League 1 or the Champ, but show some balls for Christ sake. We could all see in the summer that the recruitment was off and was there for all to see tonight. You reap what you sow.

Walker, Halliday, Wilson the only positives. The rest can Foxtrot Oscar.

A trip to Screwfix and tidying the garage is 100x more appealing this weekend.
