Will we beat Bradford?

[urz13]

The prediction thread doesn't really give an overall consensus and I just felt like seeing what the general feeling is for this game.

By beat, I mean reach the SF, with a win over either one or two legs.

[paultheroyal]

Bradford fans think it's a given they will win.
Media are expecting Bradford to win.
Bookies are leaning towards a Bradford win.

Reading will win 3:0.

Reading are favourites to qualify with the bookies

[paultheroyal]

Just checked two ie skybet and betfred, Bradford are favourite to win the match.

[Platypuss]

The match maybe, but Reading will be favourites to go through as a draw favours us overall.

No Bradford fans i know dont think it is "Given they will win" Too close to call for most!

[Sutekh]

Where's the I'm Ian Royal option ?

[arthurfondrelli]

Voted "No" as I expect it to be a draw and didn't read the first post.

I was praying we wouldn't get Bradford when watching the draw (Thank you VERY much up there... Ya Prick! )

We're on a hiding to nothing here. If we lose, we'll have been rolled by a smaller team and if we win it'll just be Bradford.

Very pleased it's away and that we are not the bookies favourites, however, as RFC always produce more when written off.

I see us winning 2 - 0.

The armchair fans I know seem to think it's an easy win for Bradford, but the regulars aren't overly confident.

Nah.

What do they know? It appears to me from the comments on here Reading fans are non too confident either!

[Platypuss]

Got draw written all over it.

[Sport Economist]

a few personal thoughts I have written on the history of matches between the 2 clubs for a Bradford City blog along with a look forward to the game:

[Jagermesiter1871]

Nah.

Fancy doing the half time team talk?

[super darren caskey]

Of course we won't,its Reading isn't it...We all know how the story goes

0.

I think it is the exact opposite.

Bradford are getting all the attention and probably hyped up above their true ability. They are a so so Div 1 side who have done really well in a couple of high profile games. The media and most neutrals will be behind them and we'll probably be pretty much ignored.

There is huge pressure on them, virtually none on us. This is our second best FA cup season ever, we've got here quietly but with a far from easy set of games.

We should be quietly confident, although I have no doubt it will a tight game.

If we play as we did at Wolves, Derby or Ipswich we'll be safe winners. If we play like we did against Leeds or Wigan we'll probably struggle. I suspect it lol depends on which of our teams turn up.

[AthleticoSpizz]

So, we might win, or we might not then?

Sounds fair

Who cares, FFS, as long as we win.
