Ref's having a dreadful first half.
Nice to see a well worked try from us, though...Lawrence having a good game, again.... COYB...

Wow...our defence is being split apart, we can't handle the direct middle running from York. Still early days though.
MD needs to give 'em the hairdryer as they need to get their act together at the back.

Completely imploded end of that half. We got too comfortable. Why did we go away from what was working so well. Need to cut out trying silly kicks early in tackle count

Big team talk needed from Dunning.

So, now we know....we've got PLENTY to do to be competitive with the potential top 6. Silly errors, poor discipline, garbage defending, and made York look much better than they actualy were.

This performance is up there with the Newcastle on last year. York lost their best player inside the first minute.
Same old. As soon as things go against us we make stuff up, kick and hopes on first tackle. Awful.

This is where Dunnings inexperience shows when it's not going to plan he can't fix it on the fly.

The


A club's 21 man match day squad has to be lodged with the RFL by noon 2 days prior to the game, so for tonight's game that would have been on Saturday

Registered with the RFL and published to the public are two entirely different scenarios we don't know if they did or didn't register it with the RFL.

Whenever I take my daughters we lose and lose with gusto. They have never seen bradford win. They assume normal involves their dad looking crestfallen.

I'll warn you all if I take them again so you can give it a swerve.

Well that was dreadful.

3 dropped balls and we give away 3 tries on the back of them. York played almost the entire game with 1 recognised halfback after Marsh went off injured and they still made us look poor. A large amount of their attacking play was an inside ball to a forward running at an angle and we never seemed to get to grips with it. They kicked us to death with those penalty conversions and we never built any pressure in the second half. Their forward pack won them that game.

Holmes was horrendous at the back and dropped a number of high balls. I dread to think what our completion rate was for that game?! Patton needs to turn it on big time next week against Widnes or he needs to sit in the stands. He offered very little and gave away a penalty which broke the game for me. Give Lawford a pop in the halves if he doesn’t improve.

John Kear will be rubbing his hands after watching that dross. Another loss against Widnes and any pre-season excitement and positivity will be obliterated.

Well its early days, but from what I saw today..not too much has changed. The game on Sunday is huge for Dunning, can he coach a response from this squad? I am looking at the fixtures and I can quite easily see six or seven losses on the trot based on that performance.

Patton needs to sort his attitude or sit in the stands, what a signing JK left us lumbered with there.

Didn't seem to have a discernable game plan tonight but we gave away so much possession and position away so hard for the team to apply any pressure or create anything.

The handling errors were killers and were all punished. We invited pressure on ourselves and didn't apply any of out own. All that defence ended up making us fatigued and York were fresh as daisies and were able to win up the middle.

Thought our kicking game was crap when we managed to make it to the end of a set which was all too rare.

On the bright side I thought Roby looked alright and Thompson was OK. Everyone else had a game to forget. Blackmore in particular had a rotten game. Baldwinson's defence was lacking and Holmes had a night to forget. It also looked like Arundal got a leg injury so no idea who the back up centre will be for Sunday if he's not fit.

Think Patton is skating on thin ice. He offered zero creativity tonight with ball in hand and the less said about that drop out the better.
