Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E whakapono ana te kaiwhakahaere o Bradford a Phil Parkinson kua wikitoria e tana kapa i tetahi pakanga hinengaro i mua i te tukinga o te kapa FA o te po o te Mane ki a Reading i te Madejski Stadium. I whakarerekehia e nga taha e rua a raatau rarangi o te Rahoroi kia taea ai te whawhai ki te whakamahere i nga tukinga tuuturu, a ko nga Bantams tuarua te mea pai rawa atu me te 1-1 totika i Notts County. Ko te waimarie o Bradford i rereke ki o raatau hoa whawhai o Reading, i te mea i tukuna e Steve Clarke he roopu kaore e mohiotia mai i te mea i riro i a ia te toenga i Valley Parade i tera wiki ka kite i te Royal i te hinganga nui 4-1 i Watford. Na Almen Abdi (pokapū) i whakaara a Watford ki te tīmatanga moemoea ki a Reading mā te piro i roto i te meneti kotahi. Ko Matej Vydra (matau) hoki te kaikawe mō Watford i a rātou e patu ana i a Reading 4-1 i te ahiahi o te Rāhoroi. I whakaae a Parkinson ko te akiaki a tana taha ki te waahi i te Rōpū Kotahi o te Rōpū Kotahi i uaua ai te kowhiringa o te kapa i Meadow Lane, engari e whakapono ana ko nga whakaaturanga o te wiki e whai ake nei ka nui ake te piki ake o tana taha. Ka mea a Parkinson: 'Ki taku whakaaro he painga ta Reading na te mea kaore ratou e piki ake, e heke iho ranei, i te mea me whakarite kia whawhai tonu tatou ki nga taha e rua. I taea e Reading te whakarerekē ake, engari i tukitukia rātau, ā, kāore e āwhina i a rātau. Ka oti ana ngā huringa, ka puta he hua, ā, ka whakaara ake te katoa, nā te mea kei te haere haere ngā tamariki i tae mai ki konei, he puna kei roto i tō rātou hikoi. Ki taku whakaaro kua tika ta tatou. I harikoa ahau ki te toenga o te kapa (i Notts County) a i whakaaro ahau ko nga tama katoa i tae mai i roto i te mea i tapiritia he mea hou mo te hou. ' Kei te pōhēhē te kaiwhakahaere pānui a Steve Clarke i te whakataunga ki te manaaki i te tukinga o te hauwhā-mutunga i te Rāhina. I ngaro i ngā kapa e rua ngā whai wāhitanga i te wā i totika ai a Reading rāua ko Bradford 0-0 i te hauwhā whakamutunga i te wiki whakamutunga. Ko te kaiako o Bradford a Phil Parkinson e mihi ana ki te mano i te wā o tā rātou tukinga hauwhā o te FA Cup. Ko Parkinson rāua ko Clarke kua mārama i ā rāua whakaaro mō te whakamahere tautohetohe o te tākaro anō o te waru whakamutunga, e tika ana...
Ka tūtaki a Bradford ki a Reading i te tukinga anō o te whakataetae FA Cup ā te Mane i te pō. I whiua a Royals e Watford i te Ratapu, i te wa i whakawhiwhia ai a Bantams. Kāore a Phil Parkinson me te rangatira o Reading a Steve Clarke i te harikoa ki te hōtaka.
