The Voice - Match preview 5: Bradford City vs Carlisle United Saturday 7th September 2024 3:00pm

Tenner on at at 4.75….

 

Quite tempted with Newcastle U21 odds too

 

15/4 on PP when I looked this morning too. Still tempted though.

 

City2. Carlisle 0

Wrong thread mate. This is the Bet Fred

 

Simpson eh?

 

That’s still 15/4 or 3.75/1

Good luck anyway.
Or not.

Anyone know if Sarcevic will be available? Odours done enough for a start for me now if not.
Sanderson should be in. Be interested to see who replaces Baldwin. I'd go Diabete and Kelly either side of Byrne.

 

I have a feeling Sarcevic is going to be out for a while as GA didn't mention a date for his return in his last press conference.

 

That'd be a big blow early on. Not as if we're not well stocked there though good chance for some others, game should have a bit of bite to it saturday so GA may fancy J Walker for it. I'll put a tenner on him getting booked

 

Would like to see him and Oduor play together again.

Kav needs to come out of the firing line.

Diabate looked decent. Suspect he'll stick with Kelly to limit the number of changes.

Not sure on Walker. Always puts himself about but his finishing/final ball wasn't great last night.

A number of GA's seeming first 11 haven't really performed. It will be interesting to see how his reaction to last night translates into changes.

 

Has it even been said what the issue is with him? We were told Baldwin's tweaked his hamstring and will be out at least 2 weeks, possibly longer dependent on the outcome of his scan but I don't recall hearing anything about the nature of Sarcevic's injury.

 

GA said after Grimsby that Sarcevic has a knee injury.

 

Thanks, so probably looking at least six weeks then at least.

 

I’d stick with the same back 3 that played last night. Kelly hasn’t looked great so far this season and Shephard has looked solid. Diabate also looked like a competent player (granted against U21 opposition).

The big decision will be in midfield, Odour has looked good every time he’s been on the pitch and gives us some forward drive that we’ve been missing. Walker also looked lively last night. I would imagine Pattison keeps his place so I’d go with Odour alongside Smallwood and Pattison.

Sanderson in for Kav seems like a no brainer based on what we’ve seen so far.

 

Sarcevic could be a big miss. Perhaps, like Smallwood, you only notice him when he's not there. We didn't lose the league games in which Sarcevic played and we scored 10 mins after he came on the the Carabao Cup.

 

I agree that Sanderson has earned a start but he really needs to be played high, alongside Cook. The deeper role has absolutely killed any momentum Kavanagh had same it will happen with this lad if we try and crowbar him into a position he isn't.

I'd also like to see Diabate start but surely Shepherd has done enough to take the inconsistent Kelly's place for now. He's much calmer on the ball, and looks a more rounded defender.

 

Yeah agree with that Monkey. First few games i thought Kav might be dropping deeper on his own accord to see more of the ball, then Sanderson came on and did the same. Him and Cook as a proper pairing up front would be interesting.
Can't see him dropping Kelly but I'd agree with that. Especially with Barnsley giving him a new contract, Shepherds come here expecting to become a regular. They looked good I'd like to see how well they contain Wyke and co
