The Voice - Match preview #34: Reading vs Bradford City Saturday 28th February 2026 3:00pm

Ignore that, I don't know where Green Park station is.

 

We're doing that. A few in the centre and get the train to green park, taxi possibly.

Retail park surroundings down that way. Then train with the locals back up after.

 

Any southern based folk going tomorrow?

 

Very harsh on Pennington after the goal, clean sheet and 3pts. Why are we distrupting the 3 CBs? In their last 3 games as a unit together they have conceded 0 goals. Appreciate they were all at home but maybe if we keep a settled side for away games we might start picking up points.

Only change IMO should be Humphrys starting at CF because Jackson is out.

 

Any news on Will Swan - does he have a chance for the bench today?

 

C'mon Monkey, i know you don't rate Baldwin but he was excellent on Tuesday night in the centre of the three. Some of his passing and ability to not panic on the ball were high level for this division, he was nearly caught out once in possession. I'd be leaving the back three as is if all available with Touray on the bench to cover the left side.

 

I’d need to be seeing a lot more from Swan than what we saw post injury, for him to get a place back in the match day squad. He was fantastic at Blackpool, but aside of that can’t recall a game he was as effective (please correct me if I’m wrong).

I know some will disagree, but however raw he still is, Wheatley looks nuisance for defenders especially when we press. Mullin we kind of know what you get and id be equally happy to see him start today if it’s not Humphrys. Given how sluggish POC was in the home game, I suspect Humphrys or Wheatley starts.

 

Yeah you're right. What was I thinking.

I'd definitely drop Baldwin.

 

Jackson is out, Mullin is shite and done nothing to warrant a start.

Swan can find a place on the bench if he is fit. Thats the only possible way he can 'show more'!

 

You are been silly now.

 

I like the light blue away kit, but much prefer to play in the home kit. I really don’t like the pink kit, it just looks odd on men. I don’t mind men wearing pink elsewhere, but not as a football kit. I think pink is not a colour that represents aggressive competition.

 

Do you know what the scan revealed about his injury? There has been no update.

 

I cannot stand either of the away kits, especially the pink.

I hope we do much better next season. Classic blacks and whites with claret and amber trims

 

Rumoured on Twitter from the Reading fans is that they’ve lost Marriott their top score for the season. However could be like one of these City in the know accounts and be total nonsense. We will know at 1.45.

 

Touray to the left of me, Baldwin to the right, Tilt in the middle for me.
There's a song in there somewhere.

 

I agree but cant have black and white aways every year...surely harms sales. Pink flew off the shelf this term.

I dont mind a blue away if i honest. Blue as in 1995 Diamond Seal blue.

 

I wear a pink tshirt now and again, maybe even pink shorts when on holiday.

Appreciate you dont mind this.

 

Love the pink, think the blue is rank though.

 

Jokers and clowns........we'll know more by 4.45....

 

Should have trained yesterday with the team then back in full training on monday. If he comes through that fine and Jackson is out for a bit I wouldn't be surprised if Swan is on the bench against Orient. https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/sportlatest/25888058.bradford-city-injury-latest-will-swan-kayden-jackson/
