Well well well Mr C, what a turnaround in the last couple of weeks. Much more betterer.

A few weeks back I asked on here if the boss was up to it and was he getting the best out of the players he had at his disposal. At the time I was fully justified in asking this too, as we were going backwards faster than a French Army tank.

However.....

Full respect to all the backroom staff and the coach for the turnaround we have had recently. I know that nobody is getting carried away and that there is still a long way to go but the signs are looking a lot better and credit has to be given where it is due.

Brilliant stuff from all. Thanks for giving us back some feelgood factor again.

We can do it. We WILL do it. COYB.

Well said ME!! Everyone concerned , including the fans, deserves great credit for turning the tide. COYB!!

It is easy to see that there has been a massive improvement over the last couple of weeks H. Just a shame that Hull FC are useless and lost to Wakefield the other day but nothing is ever easy being a Bradford fan these days.

A boost for all.

I'm chuffed at the way we've responded but I'm not going to eat humble pie. The wigan result is no less disgusting now than it was at the time and the post match nonsensical excuses (which began to alarm me as much as the result did) can't be unsaid. Perhaps the ferres comments were a rocket up coaches and players asres alike.

No pie here either. Particularly as I have never called for Cummins to be sacked, despite some of the performances sailing very close to the hopeless wind. The Wire game proved that we are capable of an acceptable level of performance, skill, determination and effort, but that's pretty much all. It doesn't explain away the abject Wigan effort and you could say it makes it even worse. If the Wigan effort was the best they could do then perversely it wouldn't have been so bad.

I too hope that we can now see the same application and endeavour week in week out, and if we do then the recent debacles will fade but it will not mean they were not debacles.

But in general I'm much more like the prodigal son's dad, I'm just glad to see them back.

I'd have to agree with this. It shouldn't have taken the Wigan result to turn the tide, but its happened and hopefully we can move forward and start getting some more points on the board.

I'd also agree with ME's comments that things are looking better. We still need to stop switching off after scoring (something we've done countless times since the first game vs Cas) and our marker defence is still to sloppy.

However, the passion and effort has definitely returned and a few tactical switches seem to have paid off. Hopefully we can get the injured bodies back in contention and really get some good results, especially with our difficult run of games coming to an end shortly.

2pts against Saints is going to be a tougher ask that again Wire, but with that effort and desire, who knows what could happen.

Onwards and upwards... COYB!!!

What he said.

One last thing, it must be just me, but why the fsck when we need to close a game down with 2 minutes to go, do we ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYSdo something to contrive to give the opposition the ball back, and the fans palpitations? Has the kick into touch for a scrum, to burn a minute, and start with a set defence. been banned for the Bulls?

They like to be unpredictable, but from a H&S standpoint they should really have some defribulators round the stands for those Bulls fans with weak hearts! By the last minute I had just about lost my voice so just as well the charge down left me speechless.

and now you wake up tomorrow with an headache

After yesterday perhaps the leftover pie should be put in the microwave?

I think the pies need to referring to food standards. A couple in the batch were perfectly fine and tasty with plenty of meat. All too often though, despite the promise of a golden crust, the filling is invariably rancid.

Nonsense. The only thing I look forward to at Odsal these days is the pie. Or in some cases the pulled pork. Actually, yesterday was so terrible I had to have both...

We may be not at our league peak, but this pales into insignificance against the RETURN OF THE PIE. Pukka Pies to boot. Back in the day whatever ground you went to was known for the reputation of its pies, and that was always the first stop for the away fan. I don't know if summer rugby was part of the decent pie becoming an endangered species but it is good to have them back. Not that I need them.
