As you say coulda, woulda, shoulda. We lost by 12 - not a cricket score. I'd say we were in the game when we pulled back to 16-8 this wasn't a quins/wire style thrashing. Unfortunately in the second half we came out of traps like a 3 legged asthmatic tortoise and conceded the Fa'alogo try but it didn't end the game as a contest, we competed until the end otherwise Hudders would've won by more wouldn't they? We only lost the 2nd half 8-4 and I don't recall Hudders bombing many chances and being all over us. If anything we cocked up more than them!

No you're right it wasn't a cricket score and for me it wasn't about the score, more the performance. I am an optimistic fan but I can honestly say that after our good 10 minute spell at the start I could never see us winning the game. Even in the second half when we had repeat sets I just couldn't see us scoring, it felt like hudds were still in control even when we were attacking. When I say bombed chances I mean when Hodgson failed to drop on the ball and also when one of their players ( sorry can't remember the name) knocked on trying to put the ball down.

Anyway that's behind us now, looking forward to a better performance on Sunday.

Should have been 24

But he didn't, so why bring it up ?

When McNamara actually does something that suggests that he is capable then I will lay off him. But he won't do so. He is taking us backwards at an alarming rate and should have been sacked ages ago.

He is just a joke of a "coach".

Have a missed 9 Bradford games this season?

That's what I was thinking tigs (but with better grammer)

For shame ME, for shame

I wipe the slate clean with Macca after last season and with all the new faces it will take time for them to gel. Especially against a well-oiled outfit like Hudds. So I'll be sticking to the famous 10 game rule.

Out of curiousity ME how many wins are needed of the next 9 to restore your faith in Macca?

Mystic Eddie - I love coming home from work & reading quality posts and yours are nothing like quality posts. Thank You

And you are?

A bit like the majority of your posts aimed at me then Adey?

You see, your problem is that you seem to think that a supporter has to back a club 100% in everything they say and do and I do not. You also appear to be a self appointed club spokesman who seems hell bent on getting everyone to see things your/their way. (Walking the Road to Damascus - one of your favourite sayings. What a load of crap! )

As for obsessed? Pots and kettles from the guy who seems to follow me around at almost every post I make and even sees fit to talk about me when I have not been on in ages!!!! However, no doubt you will deny that too as you always seem to struggle with the truth when challenged.
