Bradford City woes.

[RivieraKid]

Hello Everybody.

I hope you can help me, I've been trying various tactics (restarting with each set) with Bradford City and I always seem to get the same general results. A great Pre-season then a poor start to the season.

i.e.
With one tactic I was unlucky not to beat Manchester City 3-2 then once the season started I lost 6-2 to MK Dons.


I've restarted about 8 times now and I have never lost a pre-season match.


I've now decided to try and create my own tactics to see what I can do, can somebody tell me if I've made a school boy error?

Note: There are no opposition instructions
Note2 : The positions are fixed but the roles are tweaked to suit the player.
