The Voice - Match preview #46: Exeter City vs Bradford City Saturday 2nd May 2026 3:00pm

I think we've reach a natural ending with Walker, choice is his what he wants to do. If he is happy staying and being no 2 I don't think we will get a better back up so he sees out the last year of the contract and Hilton leaves with Hadi being the 3rd choice. If Walker wants to be a first choice I'm sure he won't struggle to get another club and Hilton stays as back up.

Whatever happens he's been a great servant for the club and won us far many more points than he's cost us and done brilliantly for us at a time when we needed a steady keeper due to how Lewis was falling away then leaving.

I mentioned it in January but we are in a similar position to how Wrexham have been in the last few years where they've had to let go players who've played a huge part in getting the club to where we are. Whatever happens over the next 2 or 3 games some tough decisions will have to be made just like we did last summer.

 

That is probably the worst case scenario, playing Bolton twice to get to Wembley is a hard ask .

 

Strange on with Jackson you hardly see him until he pops up with a goal

 

Beaten at his near post… again

 

Bolton will be thinking exactly the same about facing us.

 

Walker now starting to worry me for nxt season.

 

I prefer Bolton to Stevenage.

 

It is, but the worst scenario for me was playing them at Wembley.

Big pitch, lethal wingers, I would actually rather this!

 

His saving grace is that he is impeccable with balls in the air......that doesn't sound right....

 

They've not beaten us yet this season. I would rather play them than Stevenage. I wouldn't want to deal with their wingers at Wembley.
I am hoping Stockport dispose of Stevenage.
I am pretty happy with how it has turned out.
Given it is our 1st season in League One, even if we don't get through, I am pretty happy.

 

What , on the wall?

 

Having the 2nd leg at home is huge for us, even if we were to lose the 1st leg by 1 or maybe 2 with the home form and what we've done at home over the last 2 years I'd give us a great chance at least to take it to extra time. For all of the Bolton's quality they've only got 2 draws against us in the league

 

Agreed. They are heavy favourites in my opinion. However if we managed to get through I'd fancy us in final.

 

Compare to their keepers save at the near post?

 

Like Haarland ?

 

I agree. Also for me, I would have actually preferred the 1st leg at home. If we get well beaten in the first leg, it could make the 2nd leg a non event. As I've said earlier though, whilst anything can obviously happen, I genuinely think that the winner of this tie gets promotion.

 

Any keeper worth his salt has to save that. Heya no sympathy from me for this one.

 

This will be the first time we have played away on the keg if the play offs. We were 0-2 to Blackpool and went to their place and scored three! It is never over until it is over.

 

They are not very confident on their forum saying they have f….cked it up again. They sound as worried about playing us, as, we are about them.

 

Id much prefer to be at Valley Parade in front of 20,000+ cheering on a second leg victory that takes us to Wembley to be honest.
