You can blame McNamara for certain aspects, but you cant blame him for the amateur-ish play that some of the Bulls players came up with tonight.

I think it's a good point.

The players really aren't trying. It's reminiscent of Hull in 2006. When Kear WAS sacked, Sky lapped up how the players tried for the first game he was gone.

The buck stops with the head coach and for that reason he must take the bullet.

i think you were holding back till next week, no way can you play that bad again

I've witnessed some truly awful performances in my time, but that was definitely up there with any of them ......................

Because he isn't responsible for certain thoughts going through certain players' heads when they make such awful decisions.

Bradford were disinterested and disorganised. Their attack was sporadic at best, and if they hemorrhage tries like that against St Helens next week they'll struggle to hold Saints to under 100. I'm glad I wasn't able to make it to Odsal to waste my hard earned money on that shower.

Eddie Hemmings made quite an interesting point in his commentry in the first half, something along the lines of "Bradford have missed 10 tackles so far in this half, 5 of them were Platt"

I don't want to take anything away from Warrington though, they clearly came fired up and played some good rugby.

Exactly, the time has come for Peter Hood to stat leading and make the call. The fans streaming out with 20 minutes to go is a massive vote of no confidence from the fans.

I guess McNamara is a fan of Quality Street. I'm assuming that because of the soft centres. and the rest of the team are playing like sloppy 5h!te as well.

it's bad coaching and bad motivation. the team don't give a toss. win or lose they'll get paid this week. mcnamara isn't bothered, the clubs not sacked him yet and they likely won't. what motivation can you have to improve yourself when theres no chance of retribution for failure?

I have never been more embarrased by a bradford side than i am this season but my and other fans embarrasment doesn't matter to mcnamara and his players. theres positives to be taken. theres lessons that we've learned this week that we'll take into next week. there's ref's to blame. there's crap to talk about turning the corner.

you know what? French Connection UK it. I've had enough. Don't want to hear the excuses, don't feel like wasting my money on this shower anymore. there comes a point in every relationship where you know that you don't feel the same and should just walk away. so congratulations steve mcnamara. you've made me hate my home town club. you've turned what was a pleasure, something i'd look forward to during the week, into a bitter, rancid pill. a horrid chore that i have to drag myself to do every weekend.

I probably won't go to the away game at saints. infact, right now, i don't know if im ever going back to a bradford game again
