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

Ah, OK, couldn't see them myself, especially down the near side. Wonder if they always have them that far back or if they moved them deliberately to slow us down, knowing we usually try to take quick throw ins?

 

I hope GA tries Wheatley in Pointon's position, he is quick and athletic and can make up ground, but he isn't a striker.

Wheatley and Sarc behind Mullin would be a solid option.

 

Marriott isn't playing.

 

Yer, he's really come on well this season. Always enjoyed Morais and it was good to have him back for a match but Bower is a very good summeriser.

 

Reading are still crap but they break with far more intent than us.
Look the team most likely to score

 

Tilt with the 'I got there as quick as I could ref' look and gets away with not being booked

 

He also has to be good with the ball at his feet to play there and he’s not shown he is good at that

 

More ball into the box now.

 

Stevenage beating Stockport.
Wigan beating Town.

 

Awful refereeing

The most blatant yellow you’ll see all weekend.

 

We're just missing a quality final ball really.

Creating half chances but not big ones.

 

Bring on Mullin now. Crying out for a bit of nounce and experience.

 

FFS put Wheatley out of his misery and take him off

 

Sounds like two very limited teams.

We sound very sloppy in possession with Pennington being mentioned too often in that respect.

 

Hopefully it is just very sore or they can't stop the bleeding rather than concussion or anything more serious for Baldwin as we can do without losing him for a couple of weeks.

 

Get in Pennington.

 

get in

 

Pennoooooo!!!

 

1-0 city

 

That's the way we want to hear your name mentioned, Matt
