I dont think Macnamara can sort it because I dont believe the squad is good enough to be sorted.

You've stolen my washing
From out my back garden
You've tarmacked my driveway
Even though I said no
You've nicked my lead flashing
And weighed it in at the scrappy
Oh St Helen's tatters
Come rob me again:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_25852.jpg |

To an extent i disagree. Was Jefferies a poor player at Wakey? Were Lynch and Platt poor at Cas? Was Sykes poor at Quins?
Remember, in the infancy of SL, Bradford made taking on players from other clubs and improving on them a cottage industry. Now it's the complete opposite.
I strongly believe that, under the right sort of coach, this squad is good enough for top 3. We haven't got that coach. Simple as. |

So you do not think that half backs and backs and squad depth is important  |

Jeffries was at best inconsistent at Wakey, Lynch was ok and has improved, Platt was poor with a bit of potential but has gone backwards and Sykes was average.
The problem is they were brought in to replace the likes of Pryce, Paul, Anderson, Withers and Hape who were better players. When you add in the likes of Tupou (to replace Vainikolo) and Scruton (to replace Vagana) you can see why we're much lower in the table.
Our recruitment has been poor and top players have been replaced with average or poorer ones. |

time is running out for macca im afraid. If we dont make the play-offs (which is looking very likely) then he has to go IMO. give him til the end of the season, wee if he meets his promises, if not get rid. I hope I am wrong and we go unbeaten now until the end of the season and we beat leeds 50-0 in the grand final with menzies gettin man of steel, and worrincy getting top try scorer.
If we dont make the 8 - get rid
If we make the 8 and no progression in the play offs - get rid
If we win GF - maybe keep!

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

Oh, I know that, but whilst there are some out there who, bizarrely, still try to say that any comments against the coach are "knee jerk" then a certain sarcasm on thread starters are allowed. |

Can't say that I've seen that in a long, long time ME. Must have missed it/them.
Care to point me in the direct of / linky those "still try to say that any comments against the coach are "knee jerk" ME? |

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg |

Sam Alladyce getting the sack at Newcastle in December, THAT was a knee jerk reaction. The sacking of a coach whose taken defending champions and, over 3 years, turned them into wooden spoon competitors that is not.

Cheers RER - Missed that one. As I said, I'd not seen it in a long while and Mr Gate's word search functionality seems to be up the swanny . . . . . 
So, sounds like there one poster who's used it recently . . . . . perhaps a "there is one" may have been more accurate than "there are some" . . . |
