I did attend and allways will follow the mighty blue m whites but it's a fact many fax fans hate that dump of a ground and won't go there,my dad included.

Anyway I'm a very happy fax fan this morning no matter what you think of our performance and your excuses -again for losing.

I don't see excuses. We blew it. Simple as. Too many basic errors to put ourselves under pressure. Fax were average. You must know that. You did enough to grind out a win but you can't be happy with your performance surely? A top four side should be putting 50 past us.

Whispers that Daniel Murray could turn out for Fax on Monday. Is that one of the loanees you guys has recalled?

A couple of additions to our pack and i see no issues with us staying up. The blue socks scraped a win past a young bradford team and are currently a top 4 side. These young lads are only going to improve as the season progresses.Well done fax you deserved the win and thanks to the 20 blue socks fans who made the trip to odsal last night.

Yeah, Anita, I agree the young lads should improve over the season - but not if they are used as permanent frontline players every week - particularly in the forwards and more particularly the props. As it is, some of them are being used as the mainstay of the side and it surely can't be right to heap all that responsibility onto their young shoulders. We have too many in the side at the same time and they will need a break, so we certainly can't go on all season as we are. The squad is too small - simple as, imo.

Not been named in your 19. Only Evalds as a dual reg player in there.

(Although on second view, there's only 18 names in there. Maybe you've signed Dane Chisholm too)

20 Games left in the season, no way we are finishing bottom.

So just a observation from my point of view. Halifax were solid defensively, Bradford got 2 tries but other than that didn't look like scoring (apart from the three times held up over the line)

Edited for accuracy

But still a poor turnout.

Good afternoon whinging woolie bullies. Long time no speak.

I'm afraid 14 consecutive seasons of championship rugby has put a dent in the once mighty Fax's support, but still jolly humbling that you bullies perceive Fax as being a big club

As for the "missing thousand" travelling Fax army maybe dusting down their shirts for a "big local derby"? Hmmmmm ..... maybe by the same token you bullies should be asking the same of the "missing 10,000" home fans, eh? Just a thought

The tactics halifax used worked a treat. As people keep saying you have no forwards, so you got steam rolled along with Murrells excellent game management.

I'll take a win over the bulls any day no matter how its done.

Bottom line a full time squad no matter the ages lost.

The most experienced player super Leon, the bulls saviour might as well not been on the pitch. What a waste of money he has been
