The Voice - Match preview Bradford City vs Carlisle United Sunday 14th May 2023 @ 7:00pm

Yes fully agree, I have said many times this season our formation works better away from home. Mostly it’s panned out to be true, especially against the better teams in the division. Did you notice how they changed to “ lumping it in from all angles” . Just reminds me of the way Stevenage and Mansfield set up. I don’t buy this we have no advantage, of course we have, we have a goal on the board. Just look at the stats they are more even than people saw with their own eyes. My only concern is our balance. We don’t have an outlet on the left….All they had to do was cut off our supply from the right knowing there was zero threat on our left.
I wonder if a wide East may provide it ? I think that boat has sailed for the away leg though because I am sure Clayton will be playing on Saturday . To we go defensive from the off , or do we attack as the best form of defence. No outlet on the left probably means the latter is a no?

 

I think earlier in the game their plan was to catch us on the break using Patrick but once went one up and put the foot on the brake they started going long.

 

He was certainly a homey ref.

 

How many would be happy if the situation was reversed had we been one down with a home game to come

 

Strange you would take pleasure in tagging me after a poor City result.

My tags will come haha. You said no chance of promotion - well there is a very good chance so you are already incorrect no matter what happens. Maybe learn from this - you clearly don't know enough about football.

 

Not me, how many times have we failed to break down teams at VP who are willing to shut up shop at VP and play on the break?

 

Which chances is he referring to?

 

Absolutely shocking that we have conceded over 20% of our goals in the last ten mnutes

 

It's a yes from me.. !!

 

I've no doubt Clayton will start. I dont think it's necessarily a case of going for it or sitting back. We'll keep it tight and try and nick the odd goal when we can-pretty much our standard MO for away games.
For people who feel that we are up against it, we are going away to a closely matched team and have effectively scored in the first minute. Next goal is crucial

 

You'll be lucky. I've been surfing prices for weeks and if you want to stay over the night before you won't get anything under £220 a room. Every single Premier Inn within a 25 mile radius on London is fully booked and there are only rooms in available in the Travel lodges at Harrow, Wembley Central & Bethnal Green. If we get there we are going to stay over on the Sunday as the prices are half those on the Saturday. It's £102 on semi flex in the Premier Inn Hub at Kings Cross.

 

Bore OFF! I said we would finish 8th. We finished 6th.

Ok, 2 places out and in the playoffs. Great! 1-0 up. OK!

I want Bradford City to get out of this dog shite league as much as any Bradford fan. Is it possible yes! Is is possible to not happen this season? Yes.

So, let’s discuss on the 29th of May

 

It’s a 1.30pm kick off isn’t it? So what’s that setting off at 7am?

 

More than likely, certainly no later than half past. Makes more sense than staying over on the Saturday at those rip off rates and I have a lift down sorted, so will train it back on the Monday.

 

'8th at best' - is outside the play offs with no chance of promotion....INCORRECT SIR.

 

I'd say they had the one massive chance with Edmunson's head that he should have scored with and one where they were through 1 on 1 with Lewis but Lewis stood up well. Other than that it was a lot of half chances or the ball bouncing around the box with a bit of luck going our way by falling to our player. I think he's continuing the narrative of playing the underdog and the world is against them, it was probably more of an interview for the players than for the fans.

 

Eisa wasnt just poor in 1 game though was he. Weak as piss and generally ineffective in almost every appearance bar 1, and that is only cos he got a goal

 

Well losing in the play offs isn’t great is it. Look I hope we win in but it’s far too early to scream we have done it yet!

 

Premier Inn Uxbridge. Free Car Parking for stay on Sunday night and it's about 7 tube stops to Wembley. £92 for a family room if you book today no fee cancellation.

I know of this place because I used it for the Millwall game. We booked it, drove down and dumped the car and was on the tube to Wembley. We came back and checked in after the game with the car parking sorted. It can cost £30 on it's own to park at Wembley if you are lucky.

 

Absolute idiot that feller. A homer ref is when the home team get every decision. For the way they shackled Cookie alone, without being penalised, proves he wasn't a homer. Just a fair ref, which is an extremely rare commodity these days. Maybe the refs are brought in from leagues above for the play-off games and that is why he was noticeably better - can anyone clarify?
