The Voice - Match preview League One Playoff Semi-Final: Bolton Wanderers vs Bradford City Saturday 9th May 2026 8:00pm

Words, words words. I hope you're right and I'm totally wrong but only time will tell.

 

Flag flying proudly, let's hope it's still flying proudly until the next bank holiday weekend.

 

I just want us to have a good go & give it absolutely everything. And for the boo-boys (and girls!) to stay at home, or at least keep their gobs shut if it is going against us

Bring out the Bantams!

 

Good , who would want to go in as racing certs? Nothing to lose .

 

Spot on Jon.

 

Here we are, no nerves strangely just pride in the season. A season where 15th would have been a solid one, we were never out of the playoffs and the lads have given their all, all the way. Win or lose just give it your all and do us proud for these last two or three games.

 

Risk and reward is his terminology . Sitting back would be nuts!

 

Off to Bolton hopefully to take sumot, then straight over to Filey for a couple of days to calm down, must admit i m starting to feel it, days like this are far and few between

 

Safe travels to you and to all making the journey.

 

I think they will feel the pressure. We will go 0-1 thanks to Jackson and take a 0-1 half time lead. Second half will see Sarce score and then Lapslie not much longer after to seal a 0-3 win.

They’ll come out firing and go 0-1 up but we will then hold on before getting a late equaliser and ending the game 1-1.

 

We should all feel proud. Like you say, never out of the top 6 all season and the only other team that shares that accolade is Cardiff. That's some achievement for our first season back in league 1, especially when it's been done without trying to buy our way out like that other lot from West Yorkshire. We are where we are on merit and although I remain disappointed with our business in January and think the majority of signings have been a waste of time and money, all credit to the lads that have been here all season and have got us to where we are. Anything from here on in is a bonus.

 

Thanks mate

 

Analysis no chance.

If we win 3 0 tonight I'll get a Baldwin tattoo! That's how confident I am that it won't happen.

 

Let’s just keep it close tonight, so the second leg is not a dead rubber
Unless we go crazy and win by a few, then we can just all go and cheer our heads off on Thursday
Somehow I don’t think it will be like that
It’s City after all

 

Just being a bit pedantic with you, we actually havent been in the top 6 all season. I believe its since the 3rd game?

 

I hope we can defend like Southampton are doing at Middlesbrough so far.

Ist half shot count 17-0, 74% possession, still 0-0

 

Any parking advice for tonight? Preferably nowhere near that retail park.

 

We go out and have a proper go we will come badly undone ..............its 2 legs the last thing we need is getting killed off tonight because we have gone and had a go ............a dull fooking boring 0-0 will do for me

 

Spoilsport.
OK, we've been in the top 6 all season apart from week 2 when we dropped to 7th. I take everything back that I said. The whole season has been a complete disaster.

 

Stockport playing Wooton at CB apparently…
