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

It was probably his best game in fairness. I wouldn’t change it tbh.

 

Here I am stuck in the middle of……?

 

I admit when I first watched him I thought it wasn't a good signing but looks better in league one where having technical ability helps the step up from league 2.

 

Juventus may beg to differ

 

Or all amber, especially for night games ....

 

Motherwell always seem to utilise the claret and amber much better than us for both home and away

 

The best pink kit I remember is the pastel pink away kit Preston once wore with "Birthday" (the card chain) logo on it lol

Ours is a totally different vibe, much closer to purple and for once the tacky sublimation that I dislike on our home kits works

 

Mullin is hardly shite. His career to date more than justifies that, although agree we haven’t seen any of that quality so far in a city shirt……albeit he’s hardly played!

Agree, Swan needs to play to prove his worth. I’m purely going on the most recent form he showed prior to his injury. If he can reproduce early season form, and the Blackpool game, then he’s definitely a great asset for us.

 

Its never seen purple,lilac maybe but nothing like purple

 

As a L1 player - he has been shite. Career 1 in 7 striker. We aint L2 anymore.

Swan should be on the bench when he returns. Has shown quality and is our player - none of the other attackers are pulling up trees.

 

Well this is weird......

 

Strong team

Marriott isnt playing

Home kit

the omens may be good

 

They may, but it is my view.

 

Decent starting 11. Consistent from the win on Tuesday. Id have argued a case for Hump at CF but no excuses today. This is a strong line up.

 

No Marriott in the Reading team is a big boost for us and going to be a big loss for Reading. Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan starts in his place with his first start since the reverse match and thought he was very poor.

Starting 11 as strong as it can be for us today so no excuses to not perform. The performance is probably almost as important as the result today

 

That's more like it Mr Alexander


Huge blow for Reading losing Jack Marriott who has scored a third of their league goals, we need to take advantage of this.

 

Pitch looks in good condition.

 

Goals for Wheatley today I reckon.

 

I like my team to wear claret and amber in some format even though I am not fond of the colours.

I am not anti pink in general in fact I have several jumpers with pink either in the design and one totally pink.

As I said I am a traditionalist and I like footballers to wear traditional colours. I am not talking about what men wear in general.
