The Voice - Match preview Carlisle United vs Bradford City Saturday 20th May 2023 @ 3:00pm

Safe journey to those who are making the trip, hope you have a great day!

 

Ditto have a great day and enjoy the occasion.

 

I'll be watching later but ain't gonna lie its nothing like being there. I've not got the buzz today at all.

 

Oh I'll definitely tune in but it's killing me seeing the fans on the trains etc. Not really a watcher of footy on the TV.

 

I worry for us today. All season long we've fallen when it's mattered. I think what we'll see is a Carlisle team on the front foot from start to finish, getting the crowd involved. Exactly what we should have done last week, and I think we'll come to regret not doing so.

 

All we can ask is that they put their best foot forward and give it all they have. We are more than capable of beating Carlisle, let’s just win. It would be nice to do that easy, but we never do.

 

We have a chronic lack of pace, fitness and strength.
Can only see one outcome but, I've got everything crossed.

 

We have good experience in our side with players who have done it before. But the important thing today is attitude and determination don’t allow Carlisle to dictate the match in what will be an hostile environment

 

I agree with you that we need determination and the right attitude, however, these qualities do not outweigh my quoted deficiencies.

 

Walker and Clayton will have been subbed by then to go for a more defensive set up.

 

No worries at my end mate - a 0 - 0 draw with a dogged performance.
Now....where's the cigar (why don't these emoji's work? My cool sunglasses not shown!!)

 

Oh I have RT, lads coming up so bit of a burger lunch first. Can’t have any tinnies though as anniversary meal booked tonight. It’s normal viewing for me though, so shirt already on, trying the Beaver C&A home stripes version today. Fingers crossed , big telly warming up.

I know what you mean about not being there though…….Let’s hope we CAN be there in a few days time?

 

We did! Then they woke up.

 

Hope you enjoy your anniversary meal - let's hope City make it that little bit nicer!

 

Could actually be the other way...we could start fast and drop off again.

I don't buy the whole "they will have to start fast" theory. Could just as easy be us. We've done it a few times recently and then intensity has dropped off.

 

Thank you , much appreciated. Certainly with you there!

 

its been a while since ive felt this anxious about a city game. Hoping for a 0-0. Dont expect us to turn up at their ground

 

Its strange, without my lad here who's at university, I just can't get up for it at all. Funny cos he's messaging me and he's nervous as owt lol.
