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

We have played worse than that this season and won, two defensive blinders our undoing. Can happen in football if you sit on a one goal lead like we did, very rare you get a game where literally the only shots on target end up as goals and the lack of creativity continues to be a problem.
Always tough to take when it's in injury time but we've done that ourselves this season.

 

Can't help thinking you got the wrong loanee from Wrexham

 

Its amazing how loons like him think that fans are blind to it

 

I mean if we lose having a GO then i thinkthe majority wouldnt be peed off but my god Reading where very poor and that a huge chance to put some daylight between us ................our home form drops off then we are huge bother

 

Yeah it was annoying as they didn't have a shot on target till the 90th minute. We were too passive at times, happy to stay at their tempo rather than go for the kill

 

The players didn't deserve that defeat but the manager did

 

ahhh well we move on....cmon Rangers

 

Once no deals where done Jan 1st when it mattered then this was always gonna be the outcome ...........Mullin incoming was to try apease the fans to make out that we meant buisness when we never really did

 

Agree bring Evans on and leaving the defence that had done so well for the previous 89 minutes alone, now our home game next Saturday against Leyton Orient becomes a must win game.[/QUOTE]

 

Excuse me but I don't know, what I do know is I've been to three promotion play offs at Wembley and they are who performs on the day, I'm not writing my team off yet.

 

The players just as much to blame for the terrible defending at the end.

 

For the amount of time Mullin has had on the pitch, we may as well have kept Cooky and not bothered with this signing.

Jackson apart, very poor January recruitment.

 

Depends how far the club wants to go ????
If they are simply wanting to stay at this level then GA is probably the right man to do the job and by the look of the Jan window they are happy to stay here

 

Possibly add Evans who did OK covering for Power but the rest are complete gash.

If Mullin is fit surely he starts before Humphreys? If he isn't fit why did we take him? All very strange.

 

Still maintain we should have kept Cook, our only natural scorer. Who cares if he can't run 10k in a game, he knows where the onion bag is. On top of that we are subsidising his wages at Grimsby.

 

I doubt he will be renewed in all honesty ( I think his current deal ends in June ?)

 

No sorry . Move on You wouldn’t like a bet to say anything other than he won’t get a new deal with us.?

 

GA will rapidly lose the supporters if he doesn't get a grip of away form and game management. We score one and sit back. Awful approach to the game and you can see it in the goal difference. We are awful to watch (home or away). Our group (who buy tickets match by match) have all but given up going. Are you not entertained? NO we are not !!

 

That’s your prerogative but if you think we have a chance of getting a result away from home at either Stockport, town, Bolton, Reading, Stevenage or whoever gets in the playoffs I think we’ve got no chance.

 

Evans was a short term panic buy to cover the inevitable Power suspension. I reckon we certainly had other targets that in the end we were not prepared to pay for.

I cant believe he is only 31 years old, because he played like a 51 year old in those 2 games, Blackpool fans did warn us.

I am filing under very poor signing like the rest of them
