The Voice - Match preview #25: Carlisle United vs Bradford City Saturday 18th January 2025 12:30pm

Time for a nosebleed?

In all seriousness, we are a peaks and troughs team under GA but I'd be impressed if we extended our current good form for a few more games.

I don't know if we will though.

 

It was the 1st away game of the season after the fire if I remember correctly, i was definitely there

 

I was impressed with Liam Gordon marauding down the left for Walsall when they beat Tranmere, looks a real powerhouse and pacey, Halliday is in for a tough afternoon next week but Im sure he's up to it.

 

Yes it was as I posted a glorious afternoon very hot and as @Kevin1954 said if my memory serves me well Bobby scored and there was an indecent with a fox on the pitch ?.

 

I'd have given shorter odds on typing Shakespeare

 

At this stage, after 25 games under Hughes 22/23, we were 7th on 40 points.
We had just signed Tolaji Bola and Dara Costelloe on loan!!!
Better recruitment this time???
GA doing the business from a gaffers side of things???

 

For me it was his starting position that was all wrong. He should have been much further from the near post and may have had more time to react. He still might not have saved it though and "howler" certainly didn't spring immediately to mind when I saw it.

 

If Johnson is now fit and if he is able to play RCB then we do have cover there.

It's the middle I'm worried about. Byrne is the weakest of our defensive unit. Can see why Stockport had him on the bench - decent to come on and do a job for 20 minutes but not a starter.

 

I think the centre half in the middle now has Shepherd's name on it.

 

Happy to give praise where it's due

 

Meanwhile... Banbrotam in "we've won a few so I'm back to posting" shocker...

 

No Lowe now though, I think he scored for Stoke today.

 

We’ve all been there.

 

They brought out a stuffed fox on a plinth and plonked it on the centre spot before kick off. Don't think it was the norm to sing "what the flipping heck is that?" back then or I'm sure we'd have questioned their mascot.

It was an absolutely glorious weekend, we took a right crowd up there, pretty much out numbered the home fans. City coaches, cars and vans all the way there and back on the roads.

 

Ah, the difference between a dog and a fox is?

 

About 6 pints

Apparently one of his old University buddies said David Cameron preferred pigs, during the ceremony of "piggate" at Oxford University.
