Two points that stood out to me too Adey.

The questions now are:

1. Are we lookiong at an extended contract for Halley? If not, why not?
2. Where does this leave Platt? Has Macca got any thoughts in mind for where to play him? I still feel he's got plenty to offer, I'm just not sure where.
3. Was the crowd noise really that different in the last two games?

1. We should be, i'd heard that one of the reasons Halley picked his shorter current deal himself was so he could earn a longer deal on better terms than we originally offered. The plan worked I reckon, now we need to pay up, he's shown more than enough potential for me.

2. Back up FB/bench. Only other thought I have (and I said this last year when he imploded a couple of times) is that he has enough of the attributes to be more than useful on the wing surely? Tadulala wont keep going for too many years, and there is enough time left on Platts contract to turn him into a decent winger is there not?

3. There was a fair bit at both but nothing we've not heard or dealt with before many times (probably more in either of the previous two than there will be tonight with two nervous sets of fans mind.) I think it does influence the officals, even if subconciously, but not often to a game breaking level IMHO.

He does seem to have the attributes to make a good 3/4 (either centre or wing for mine). Good pace, decent step, pretty solid in defence (I think he'd be better suited to defending in the line)

Maybe, I hope another team thinks this and asks for him to be released. I think the cap could be spent a lot better than Platt.

Well unless someone buys Platt he will remain a Bradford player for the duration of his contract!

There's definitely potential there.......getting it out however is proving most difficult.

David Solomona should have started at 6 this evening with Sykes and Menzies at centre. The team would have been better balanced and more creative. The only time we looked dangerous was when Solomona had the ball in his hands.
