| Indeed!
Agree about the defence, we've looked keen, which is half the battle and given decent displays against two SL clubs, one of them likely to be in the top four and it's very fair to say we're unlikely to face that level of opponent too often in the championship.
Given we've only played the two games though, it seems we've picked up a few injuries. Don't know what Jimmy has been doing to them but I hope they're all safely wrapped up for the army exercises..

| its the game versus the Aussies with Terry Holmes, iconic capture from clap n kick that sticks in the memory, the wind-and-rainward side of me was wet within a few minutes the downwind side stayed dry all night except for my feet, Aussie players would come dancing out of the fog, skip around a few puddles and disappear, a bradford player with a puzzled look on his face would go in the other direction , then the whistle would go for another Aussie try. Embarassign that they coped with the conditions better than us.
Bulliac, not shifty, its the nearest I could find for "get some glasses".

| Quote: miketaurus "" Leigh's game to lose on paper" as Blotto mentioned, Yes and we are certainly not favourites. I can't help thinking that come game time that if things do not go as "perfectly" as the leigh fans and players are being led to believe and expecting, it may well seriously derail there delusions about what Leigh believe is already a certainty. As a fan, I might say "We will see" COYB
You will only find the Leigh fans with little understanding of the game who EXPECT a Leigh win, Bradford are favourites to win the league for a reason and the injuries we picked up last sunday will eventually make you favourites on the day. The division is waiting to see how you cope at this level, should you not cope well and we play as well as we did against Wigan then it could be a wide margin, that could be reversed also. A big loss at LSV would sharpen the fangs of the clubs around you in West Yorkshire as yours is the scalp they want on display
Huge pressure on you guys as a poor show will also hit your walk up support

Thats what is making this game against leigh so intriguing. Parking the favourite tag as I do not agree. Yes we are a draw for the championship and expect competitive games.
Well it won't be long before we know. It has got be worth a full house at LSV..

Don't think we will see a full house due to what's gone on in the past decade, we are getting fans back on the basis of improved performance, matchday experience and now the belief that we could win promotion but 12000 is probably beyond the fixture at this stage
I hope you can bring 2000 and believe we should be looking at 7000+ which will create an electric atmosphere at LSV
