"I'm 49, I've had a brain haemorrhage and a triple bypass and I could still go out and play a reasonable game of rugby union. But I wouldn't last 30 seconds in rugby league." - Graham Lowe (1995)

: Sun Jul 05, 2009 8:34 pm  
Our set plays are entirely predictable, for the most part we're incapable of defending a lead, the interchange is completely flawed, our defense down the right is woeful, 7 and 9 offer little and our confidence is brittle. Until we get rid of McNamara who has made the 'collapse' a central part of our playing mentality and we can psychologically start again, the team will continue to do the same thing again and again.

Set plays, interchanges, confidence etc are Mcnamara's responsibility and he's failed time and time again. Remeber that Halley our best player today, was farmed out to Wakey where he scored tries at will during the first part of the season whilst McNamara stuck with Platt.

There are countless other examples, but hey he's rebuilding etc etc. Fact is he can't build a decent team, so how he's going to re-build a club I have no idea. He reminds me more and more of Cullen, someone who is out of his depth in SL, promoted above his ability and clueless when the pressure is on. For crying out loud, what more proof do we need, another low crowd which will drift lower now there's nothing left to play for meaning less income and less chance to see this so called rebuilding come to fruition.

One of the worse things is we are sat in the stand and you can predict the mistakes we are going to make.
Cass make an error and we get the ball back , prediction "2 play and we'll cough it up" result 2 plays and Deacs spills the ball.....
Cass knock on, prediction we won't complete the set. Result 3 plays and a forward pass.
Final prediction, Deacs will miss the kick, result Deacs missed the kick. We didn't deserve to draw..
Cass were not on form today, what does that say about us?

Very disappointed we played well once again and came out with nothing I still think we can make the play-offs but we need to be much more consistent its no good winning one game then loosing next three games.

It's certainly becoming more and more difficult to find any postives or defence for this.

I agree with a few others on here that we need to blood some of the kids and pretty much write off the season.

I think we probably need to pretty much win every game from here to get in the play offs and build some momentum. At this point in time I can't see that happening.

2 bench spots per week for the kids to have a go and rotate the senior members for a week off.

Very, very disappointing

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train

: Sun Jul 05, 2009 8:54 pm  
one of our main problems is our right wing. Sheriffe with a better centre wouldn't be as much of a liablity. Sykes with a better winger would be more productive.

however, both players are average and sticking them together gives us a very average combination and teams all season have exploited our right side and more often than not score

Not happy with the fans around me who seem to pint everything on the referee.. sigh. Tadulala was terrible in the air and under the high ball today, but our fans seemed to believe he was taken out, which I disagree with.

The Cas player barely left the ground and Semi was already well up in the air and was simply charged into and tipped horizontal. If that isn't being taken out then I don't know what is. Poor call from the officials, not to mention the missed forward pass for one of their last tries.

But when you're playing poor these things often don't go your way, I'm more concerned about our defence in general to be honest.

It's a bloody good job the SL increased in size and got rid of the drop or we'd be staring down the barrel of relegation.
