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

What a shambles of a first half, i suppose thats what u get for defending a 1-0..
Ffs

 

This is exactly the performance I feared but expected. Gutless and zero attacking intent.

I'm reminded of Rocky 2, when Adrian doesn't want Rocky to fight and everything is half arsed. Mickley asking if he's sick. Etc..

The regret tonight won't be going out of the playoffs, it'll be playing only 10 mins of 180 with any interest in trying to win.

It's garbage, handbrake on football, and it's getting what it deserves. Get Steve Evans in and let's have some direct and attacking football.

 

Well. . . . that didn't go too well.

 

Who is this Gordon fella? Thank fook he wasn’t playing (or if he was) this good last week. All over us!

 

Summed up perfectly just before HT.
Gilliead running along the half way line and has to go backwards because he has no forward option.

 

That's because we ARE.

 

Fed up of seeing Cook isolated up front all the season. the feck is he supposed to do

ridehalgh is shit. only has one foot. not that it helps because theres no one in front of him

when was the last time we scored a goal on the counter? every season we sign players who have the pace an agility of an OAP

Havent got a fecking clue what Halliday is doing. boot it in the box an stop fannying about

 

No support for Cook again, left totally isolated. We are getting hammered here, Hughes has to change this and bring on another striker although that’s probably difficult as Derbyshire and Nevers are hopeless.

 

Sorry guys Lewis made a great save from Gordon effort pushing it onto the post but should have done better with the goal, 1 - 1 still all to play for we cant get any worse piss poor first half, Hughes wont do it but I'd bring the kid East on for Clayton, our midfield is so slow.

 

That’s because he plays with too many defensive midfielders. Gilliead, Clayton and Smallwood just don’t get forward into space. Walker doing all his work in the wrong areas. I’d certainly think about Pierera at some point because we don’t have anyone other than Banks doing anything.

 

Sh1t tactics, but not unexpected, midfield playing walking football again ...

 

It's a follow on from the second half of the first leg. Defensive to the point of creating absolutely nothing. Bored shitless watching that cos there was no intention of trying to score a.goal.

 

Agree. Hughes out. He’s failed this year. Should have gone up automatically, so bad is the league.

 

In the next 45 minutes we will see what our Manager is made of.

 

And now we have the obese oaf spouting!

 

Crystal Palace loanee.

 

Lewis must've won us about 20 points this season with saves you wouldn't expect most keepers to make. Incredible.

 

70th minute .

 

Well this isn’t going well at all. Too slow and not enough intent. Simpson has got what he wanted a Homer ref.

 

3 midfielders and haven't gone forward once, we are just such a negative team.

Still right in it but whatever happens we have to change from this slow laborious going forward.
