Well, Batley's players are playing at the limit of their capabilities and are in fine form as reflected in their current standing in the table.

Bradford's players are not playing near the level they are capable of on a consistent basis, yet find ourselves just a point behind Batley in the table.

Lack of leadership and direction on the field, coupled with poor game and man management off it are why Bradford are currently slugging it out for 3rd place rather than contesting a top 2 spot.

Then maybe you are taking substances, as that's a bit far-out. None would. Of course, having better players in every position doesn't automatically make you a better team, any more than being a better player guarantees you will play better. Ask Ronaldo.

so fax's team must be written out on a sheet of Izal.

Williams in, Haggerty at stand off according to Bulls Twitter.

And Clough at lock!

Addy and Thomas late withdrawals according to T&A.

Plenty of size on bench though, hopefully Charnock and Moss can take advantage.

Back to 1 real playmaker then. Granted I'd take a scrum half with no stand off over a stand off with no scrum half any day. Hopefully moss can take on a role like mullaney as well as getting off the shoulder of luaki

Poor so far.

Batley are so frustrating to watch, laying on & hands in the tackle all day long.

We need to take a look at ourselves though as we have been nowhere near good enough again

It sounds like Cobb is doing his usual thing of making rules up as he goes along

Does Cobb know the ball can only be passed backwards

They've fsking bottled it

Might have to eat my own words now but I can't believe we are at the point where we celebrate like its a cup final for scoring against part timers at home

Easy - Easy - Easy.

Played poorly, but still won against a good Championship side. Will take that. Long way to go for this team though.

Charnock is looking like a great signing for us.
