The Voice - Match preview #4: Grimsby Town vs Bradford City Saturday 31st August 2024 3:00pm

Commitment

 

I agree but I'd like to give these lads a chance to gel, we are league 2 ffs, let's give em a chance

 

Carlisle have sacked Simpson. That's us losing next week then.

 

Looking at who scored against them today, that could be a very good forecast.

FFS, what is a manager supposed to do

 

To be fair, so far I feel like we have a middle of the road squad that's awaiting the promise land.

If we are being honest, we got lucky at MK in that the only 2 times we went forward, we scored. They should have buried 3 or 4 that day. Salford, bore draw. Bromley were I'd after 7 mins, game goes out the window. And today, just iffy at best plat all game long.

We were lucky to get 7 from 9, we might not get many more in the next 2 or 3 for me.

Gel

They've had pre-season FFS. Stop making excuses for our players and this f****** football club. Enough is enough.

 

You're right, it does not bode well Jordan, I thought there'd be more fluidity in this squad, but it looks shit at the moment doesn't it, on paper we have a great squad, but not sure GA knows how to implement it

 

I'd take him if Sparks uses GA as the fall guy

 

Yup, sad day for some of us Cumbrian's, but it was almost inevitable, all his coaching staff have gone as well. See you Saturday folks.

 

I guess the question could be, should we go to a back four? That way we can bring wingers into the game. Right now, Wright is doing OK but Halliday looks useless in defense and attack. The only wingers we have are Oduor and Wright, so that could be a problem.

Grimsby played with wingers cutting inside and we couldn’t deal with it

 

So what you gonna do about it?

 

Go fishing

 

Nah
Sharpe was brought in for the first to go (cost cutting)

 

I think we could be anywhere from playoffs to lower midtable, and the estimation changes not just between matches, but within them. We can put together very nice passages of play, but not often enough, and then we have defensive lapses that cost goals. Today Baldwin going off was unsettling; maybe a few more matches in and such a sub. and associated changes would go more smoothly.

I think you've answered your own question there! Plus, if GA doesn't want to set up that way, who or what could make him change his mind?

Cheers we are nothing but midtable foder and yet again suckered in by khoonts who are taking us for a ride

 

Jamie Devitt in temporary charge, not far behind gibson and patrick in the dislike list down here as it happens.

Not overly sure why other than a couple of failed loan spells

 

4 games in and I'm feeling duped already!
