The Voice - Match preview Bradford City vs Crawley Town Saturday 29th October @ 3:00pm

Don't worry, when Nicholls scores the winner for Crawley we'll all be able to buy it as an NFT on Monday....

 

Not creating enough chances, Again.

Playing out from the back won't work if our midfield 5 won't show for the ball. Can't cross it across the back forever.

Halliday man of the match so far?

 

First half summed up by our free kick on half way line after the yellow card foul on Wright.
3 passes later its back with Lewis.

 

Have any subs been called to the dressing room at half time ?

 

Can't continue like this we appeared to be 'mis-managed' and I don't want to say this but we are completely disjointed. Don't blame the players being undermined by a game plan they aren't up to employing..where is Plan B? Hughes has confidence in the quality of his players but have we the confidence in our Manager's quality with these players?

 

Should have been 1 up inside 2 mins. Dire since then. Get Banks on for Pereira at HT

 

Cook and Wright both in the same position using the outside of the foot to finish and both failing miserably. Awful finishing from both sides and Crawley are unlucky not to be 3-0 up

 

Banks on for Peirera
Oliver on for Gillied

Move Chapman into the BBM role and have two up top

 

Anyone enjoying this slow, possession based football with zero end product ??

 

Crawley should be out of sight if better in final third

Something badly wrong in our midfield

 

Not that I noticed it looks like there all out at half time, I can't see what playing out from the back brings to the team the crowd are certainly frustrated watching it if only Cook had scored with his chance early in the game.

Extremely frustrating

We need a spell, away from VP. You can feel the tension and I’m 120 miles away.

The playing across the back is asking and receiving for lots of problems. We aren’t hitting the ball with any pace…they are and as a result we look almost geriatric.

Chapman and Halliday came out of the half well. The rest didn’t. The number of times Foulds received the ball around half way and passed the ball back is bloody frustrating. It just allows the opposition to set to defend.
Don off for a start, blind ally , running into no man’s land looks good but zero end product.

It would have been a different half if Cook hadn’t missed that chance early doors, we went into our shells as a result. I know the defence are working to a plan , but it’s frustrating when just one loose pass out of ten gets to the oppo and we are in real trouble. Four last ditch tackles have saved certain goals.

We need to go 442, to give their defenders something to thing about. We are getting overwhelmed in the middle.

 

Weve probably created as many chances as they have. It's been poor though, and everything else in and around those chances has been awful. Really poor execution of our game plan and nowhere near enough intensity without the ball.

 

How have we come out unchanged!!

 

Pereira get in

 

Pass side to side backwards constantly allowing 10 men to quickly get behind ball

 

Thank God! Great stuff City.

 

Best of calling him Dion or Lord Luton- far easier!

Not many of us would have put him as a scorer

 

Maybe I was being too hasty
