Well the season is shaping us I feared, though I dare not say it particularly on here where it's a crime to have an opinion!
We all knew the recruitment wasn't good enough, we all knew we needed a new half back and it was p**s poor planning to leave it so late, and then not even be able to get the guy we went for! We all know our kids need a go, as they can't be much worse than the signings we made, we all know the back up coaching staff is in-experienced and not upto the task, we all know McNamara has run out of ideas, excuses, luck, and please hopefully time!
When optimsm bounds at most other clubs, Leeds top dogs, Saints annual trip to Wembley booked, Huddersfield with 5 figure crowds, Hull top of the pile, Hull KR with a bright young coach heading for a top 4 finish, Wakefield playing wonderful spirited rugby in adversity with one of our players in the ranks
, Wigan clicking at last full of local lads playing for the cause, Celtic new and fresh out of the box, Catalan with a cracking local following and sensational new signing
, Cas playing the fast free flowing we all admire them for from years gone by, Salford with an amazing new stadium and 3 years in Super League to look forward to, The quins are really making a difference at amateur level in London, Warrington have taken steps to stop the rot with a top notch coach (why didn't we think of that?)......
and then there's Bradford reverting to type, too big, too slow, no flair, intelligence, creativity, or enthusiasm with dwindlng crowds, a board devoid of any vision praying the gods will deliver a new stadium that solves everything er helloooooo its all about the team, Exhibit A Wakefield, Exhibit B Saints etc. etc. The players have clearly stopped listening to a coach they no longer respect, or he has nothing to say except tired old cliches and he is the best bs bingo caller I've ever heard!
Go now Macca, please, I'd rather do what the Giants did and have a caretaker for the rest of the season than carry on with this clown, and get the right man tied up for next season now. Huddersfield showed us the way it was bold and nobody died though they didn't make the play offs (but we won't anyway) looking at their crowds so far you could argue it was actually a good move, building anticipation for this year well into last.
Time for a change Mr. Hood, I for one will not be returning until there is one my season ticket can gather dust in the cupboard, and I'm certainly not making the kind of trips I endured last night again anytime soon.
We demand better, we expect better and so should everyone who calls themself a Bradford fan.
There that's better, ummmmmmmmmmm
