The Voice - Match preview #21: Bradford City vs Wigan Athletic Friday 26th December 2025 15:00

Massive 3 points. Win against Vale and we're one foot in the play offs imo. It'll leave us needing 12 wins from now till the end of the season which is easily doable.

 

They came to disrupt, weren't good enough at it, and just came off as dirty and ill disciplined.

Shocking showing from Wigan

 

Metcalfe still learning but improving, can see him starting to get a few goals

 

Great scenes, proper CB’s header.

Wigan should have had 8 men, bunch of thugs. Hope Pointon is okay.

 

Pulled a valuable win out of the bag but Christ that was a tough watch. First half was as bad as it gets with no quality from either side, second half a bit better but in truth we are in debt to Wigan committing football suicide with two stupid red cards. Up until that there was nothing between the two teams.
Kinda sums up this division really. Whoever uses the January transfer window the wisest will take the two top spots. There for the taking for whoever really wants it.

 

Wigan got what their play deserved. Nothing. The dirtiest team I have seen this season.

 

Massive 3 points today-we just don't know when we are beaten do we?

Wigan bunch of thugs got what they deserved today. feck all. Ref was poor again. Couldn't even sell out their allocation either. Mind you looking at the dross their team served up you can understand why.
We got sucked into their head tennis gameplan.

 

Wigan fans as well, the foul that messed up Pointon leaving his boot covered in blood and they thought it WASN'T a yellow hahaha

Too much Rugby, clearly not football fans

 

any news on pointon? hoping its just an impact injury after he was clobbered twice

Also how do teams keep getting away with fake injuries to goalkeepers, it was clear for all to see Lowe was telling him to go down, why doesn,t the 4th official step in and get the ref book both manager and goalie?

 

Power now on nine league bookings, what date does a two match suspension kick in for ten bookings?

 

Humps picked up the goalies water bottle and drank it all while he was getting "treatment". TBF I think Walker has pulled this stunt of needing "treatment" for an "injury" as well.

 

I like to think the delay gave us chance to compose ourselves for the corner and gave them the time needed to lose concentration. Either way it was poetic justice.

 

Cardiff 100% will take one spot

 

Yeah, my gut feeling for the other is Bolton, I think both they and Cardiff will push on after January.

 

He needs to stop messing around when he has a shooting opportunity and taking that extra touch. Then he will

 

Id love it to be Lincoln if it’s not us but hard to disagree with Bolton. Let’s hope the transfer window ruins them

 

And kept kicking him too..

 

Think it’s about 31/32 games into season. Sometime Mid February.

 

If he's not getting on the bench (for whatever reason) IMO for his contribution to our club I think its the least we could do let him go on a free and save what will be a decent wage, he'd go with my best wishes, Andy Cook owes Bradford City noting during his time at the club he's done exactly what is expected of a striker...scored goals.

 

All eyes on Rupp. I'd imagine none of us expected to be in this position at this point, bit we have a genuine shot at Cjampionship football next season. Our January business is going to be crucial.
