Quote: Adeybull "Sorry to disappoint you, but I returned from self-imposed exile following a very positive development on the moderating team front. At that time, we were merely in the middle of a Little Local Difficulty.

It is only since my return that events have developed not necessarily to our advantage - make of that what you will...
I know who you mean & what you mean. Not that I agree with you.

Do Bradford need to lose a few more games before action is taken ?

If we win Sunday, SM gets a breather, if we win a couple of the coming games, SM job is safer.

Where will that get us in the long run ? A few wins, maybe a place in the play offs ?

Is that what Bradford wants ?

No offence against Mcnamara on a personal level, but I don't think he is capable of taking a team towards any silverware.

I've always supported the British coaches, but in all honesty, we ain't really producing many of them are we. OK Nobby was an exception, but take him out of the equation, who are the other coaches to win silverware ?

As much as it pains me to say this, but I think we need to lose a few more games, for those at the top to actually do something.

Or do we hang on to what we got (No Manilow pun intended) and accept that our days of reigning are over for now ?

No club should sack a coach only 3 games into the season.

If we win on sunday of course he gets a breather and his job becomes safer the more he wins.

Question i have is when does the club take action if we do keep losing. The club can be too loyal.

With any luck we'll win more and don't have to worry about the coach.

Based on the result at Leeds tonight, Bradford really are worse than I thought.

Wigan were outclassed by a patched up Leeds side. The same Wigan that hammered Bradford last week.

Dark days ahead at Odsal.

Leeds had every bit of luck tonight. In the 2nd half Wigan were just as good for a lot of it. Just didn't take chances really.

A patched up Leeds side? Come off it.

Leeds are still the standard in Super league mind and Bradford are well off it.

Senior, Diskin and Buderus out.
Watkins, 18 yesterday, in centre.
No recognised hooker.
Kirke off injured early, Ali & Bailey off in 2nd half injured.
Webb played 1/2 a game

Wait till Leeds have a fully fit squad to pick from icon_wink.gif

i'd still hardly call it a patched up team. Watkins is a classy young centre. Don't miss senior as much as you used too.

Quote: number 6 "'your only as good as your last game', never has a truer word been said after tonights match'"

If Bradford had played tonight's Wigan, rather than last weeks it would still be 0-0 now (although knock ons would be about 300 apiece).

We can improve over the last couple of matches , and will do so.
There are a number of quality players who will lift their game in the coming weeks,: of this i have no doubt.
I do not don rose colored glasses for this opinion. nor shoud I fall foul of undue optimism.
The impovements will come.

If you look at our next few games, where can you honestly say we can pick up what used to be 'easy points'?

Hull FC, Catalan, Cas, Catalan, Leeds - 3 teams that have started well and a Catalan side that even though they haven't won at home yet, wouldn't it be 'the typical bradford story' of Greg Bird showing us what we are missing out on.

The worst case scenario is that why easter, we could well only have 1 point and out of the cup - would the board then take action?

I don't think this is a case of not being positive and getting behind the team, I am just hoping the board has a plan B, if not, we may be in serious trouble!

If we start winning, this is a bad thing.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
If we win every week, and win all comps, I'd suggest his job would be even safer still.

Haven't you got the cart completely the wrong side of the horse?

This view reminds me a lot of some big soccer club just a few weeks ago who were after acquiring the services of some big name manager - his present charges were losing all the time, and he was at or even past the dreaded 'vote of confidence stage'. His prospective new employers actually said that they hoped his team lost again for a week or two, meaning so he would be sacked and they could then sign up this shining beacon of managership!

You couldn't make it up. Well, you don't need to.

Is there an issue here that Bradford don't have the funds to sack SM and employ someone else? (genuine question, not trolling)
