Highlight was getting extra cheese on my burger. The kicking game has got to be addressed urgently. Kicks up in the air, and poorly executed ones at that, are beyond feeble.


Credit to Barrow. They made the play the balls slugspeed and we have no nous to be able to handle that. They've clearly got loads of team spirit.

They say your team plays in your coaches image after the pre and post match interviews that's slow lethargic and half asleep which ls exactly what we got last night. 

We did make a few line breaks, unfortunately there was never anyone even attempting to support. 


I know the numpties on Facebook are giving it the big uns about Bradford thinking they were going to walk the league etc but I don't think many supporters ever believed that. I was however optimistic we would be a good team to watch this year and tough to beat. 


The next few weeks and how they respond will be interesting.

Nobles comments worry me a little. If he thinks fine margins lost us the game and Barrows kicking game was a little better, than thats a concering level of delusion. Fans dont like it when coaches seem oblivious as to the failings. Like the end of Kear.

Noble never airs his dirty laundry in public.  Anyone with eyes can see that we're miles off.   


I see Fev got stuffed today so both teams will be wanting to make amends (you'd think).


Already getting nervous about Good Friday at resurgent Fax.

I think in terms of the result - I understand where Noble is coming from. We had a try ruled out for obstruction (it was the other end of the ground to me but I didn't see anything obvious) and then Blake drops a ball that he should have scooped up to score. Barrow got a few fotunate bounces of the ball off our errors and the game was over. 


But in terms of performance - I would agree we were miles off. We have a tricky run of fixtures coming out - it will show what this group are made of.

Looking in from a far, I can't really offer any true insight. 


It does seem as though the players are believing their own hype a little though, giving an air of entitlement.
We seem OK getting up for the big games, but don't want to roll our sleeves up and get the dirty work done first. 


Training session today should start with 17 mirrors for all the players to look into and have a long hard look.

Agreed, I'm not sure where that has come from, I've not seen anyone saying that!? 

I was just going to say this. 
While I appreciate it can be frustrating to hear, I do prefer this approach. 


I'm certain harsher words will be shared behind closed doors.


It will be interesting to see how we respond to a bit of early adversity now. 
Jose Mourinho was / is a master at using this type of energy to the benefit of the group.....let's hope we can do the same.

While I agree with sentiment I didn't expect us to walk the league but we shouldn't be losing at home to Barrow.

Barrow have now beaten us 4 out of the last 5 games. 


It was lost in the pack. We missed Ebon & Frank. Logan & Donno both had poor games. Mason is obviously our 6th choice prop, mainly his positioning was poor - in the way, not reading the play or offside. Fulton played well, good lines, was our best forward. 


Barrow recognise the importance of the forward battle at Odsal, as will every team that come here. Is it correct Barrow had 2 or 3 loan SL fringe props in against us?


Halves were behind a struggling pack, the fluidity and accuracy wasn't there. 


Hooley was our best back, in his 2nd game with us, which is saying something.
