The Voice - Match preview #41: Wycombe Wanderers vs Bradford City Monday 6th April 2026 3:00pm

I'm not sure I saw "couldn't be arsed", but I did see him look instantly frustrated because he pretty much got everything wrong from the off.

Think his head dips far too easily, GA alluded to it when he was missing those one-on-ones, I actually get why you'd question yourself if you're missing easy chances like that, but to get all flaky after misplacing simple passes doesn't make sense - even the best players misplace simple passes and you can see they forget them as soon as they've done them as there's a game still going on.

I'd suggest the lad might be stuck in his own head a bit.

 

I would be annoyed if Powell was in front of me on bench ,

 

I know it’s petty and i shouldn’t have found it as funny as I did, but the ITV highlights cut out the dogs winner and had it down as 1-1. Take two points off please EFL

 

Why? Powell is one of the most talented footballers in the division. His best days are behind him but he is very accomplished with bags of experience. What has Wheatley done to earn a matchday shirt?

 

Wheatley might not see a matchday squad again now. Humphrys, Jackson, Swan, Powell and Mullin arguably all deserve to be ahead of him for that lone striker slot. Maybe he may be used in a wider role if he is given a few cameos?

we’ve missed Jackson badly. Great that he’s back.

 

I’ll give him one thing that’s correct - they put a hell of a lot of water on the pitch at half-time. The rest of it is utter nonsense!

 

The bloke that gifted them the lead just 5 minutes in? Yeah, that's the one. Maybe if he keeps scoring winners we can pretend they never happened but it might be easier for him to cut them out in the first place.

Overall he did well for our winner and generally had a steady game but the mistakes keep coming consistently and I'd much prefer to see him shifted to the right where usually his mistakes aren't as amplified.

 

Steady game?. He had Woodrow in his pocket all game.

 

We got the job done which seemed unlikely at halftime.
A spirited comeback thanks to the impact made by our substitutions.
Wasteful at times when in possession but a wins a win,sets us up nicely for Saturday's game against Stevenage.

 

Who or what wrote that, an early version of Ai?

 

Does Ashby retain his place against Stevenage? Hard to drop him and Nuefville hasnt been at his best.

Ashby will be looking for a club, if he can continue playing like that then he could be an option in the summer.

 

Likewise Touray if Wright is fit. These are good headaches to have.

 

I know its not as if Wheatley has had and missed his chances is it ????

 

His head has gone. The difference between premiership and potential premiership players, vs those in the lower leagues, is mentality. I can just vision him after being told he’s not making the match day squad, deleting all his City social media content in an “I’ll show you” moment, donning his Louis Vuitton tracksuit and calling up his crew to go and have some bling drinks in Manchester. The boy deep down knows he’s not going to make it at Utd after not making it at Northampton or Bradford City. Probably signs for Salford.

 

Absolutely! I feel like Touray is a good option at wing back away as he's a defender who can get forward. Whereas at home I would be more inclined to put Tyreik in as he is more of an attacking threat.

Regarding Ashby I think he did enough yesterday to earn his place next game. I criticised him at half time in my comments but I was probably more irritated with the general team performance and he was an easy target! He was one of our best performers second half and that arched pass to Humps to set up our equaliser was superb. Neufville not been at his best for a while now - I think real competition for that position would be good all round, it worked earlier in the season when Halliday came back in.

Powell coming back into contention is another bonus, as I had completely written him off. Yes he's not going to be starting games but could definitely make a difference as a finisher.

 

wow - you know the lad I take it?

 

Despite him not really playing well recently I think Metcalfe made a big difference second half

 

without scrolling through everything,who was m.o.m,? i would have chosen Ashby myself

 

100% from the get go we had more energy and I think Metcalfe's aggression and will to move us forward at pace was instrumental to that
