After the drubbing in France, we're following up with a very difficult game in West Yorkshire.

Bradford's last six games

16th JuneBookmakers prediction v Bradford Dons to be getting 20 points start (but this could change depending on who is in our side).

Heart says we can make a game of it, head says another torrid Sunday afternoon. No settled side (injuries) some players simply not Championship standard, I posted that the table at the beginning of July would be probably reflect how we are, no easy games from now on in and every league point is going to be hard fought. Good luck.

I agree. Every league point is going to be hard fought. The vital games are the ones between us and the likely bottom seven teams. Matches against Swinton, Barrow, Whitehaven, Batley, York and Dewsbury are key. I'm assuming Halifax will get out of the relegation scrap. York seem to have improved too.

Our plight isn't made any easier in that of those teams, we've only got Swinton and Barrow at home. Swinton is a 'virtual home game'.

Dewsbury will probably finish bottom in position 14. The next bottom team goes down and the third bottom is in a survival play-off match again the League One Grand Final winners.

Which teams do you think will finish is positions 12 and 13?

I can’t help thinking Barrow & the Dons are the most likely to finish in those positions (either way round).

The 'neutral venue' fixture against Swinton, the away game at Dewsbury and the last match in July at home against Barrow are massive for the Dons.

Well looks like the 2 loan signings never materialised! I'd like to know the average age of the squad named for sunday, anyways it surely can't get any worse than last Saturday. I shall be attending milford tomorrow and bradford sunday for another rugby weekend COYD

Meanwhile Bradford have brought in Franklin Pele and two other Aussies Logan Bayliss-Brow and which is Lehman in this week two forwards and a back.

Featherstone since they went in special measures brought in two Super League forwards on loan despite supposedly having money issues.

Makes you wonder why we struggle so much to do likewise

Both are surprisingly not in Bradford's squad and both Doro and Lawrence miss out too, they still obviously have quality in Appo, Lilley and Oakes but it doesn't look an unbeatable squad and if we were to receive 20pts from the bookies I'd be tempted

The Dons last victory in the away games played at Odsal was on 4th September 1963 winning 16-8.Since then they have lost all the next 14 league & cup games played at Odsal.The Dons last victory against Bradford was in a home league game played on April 22nd 1973 winning 18-7.

I've had a little dabble on +20 as surely it can't be as bad as last week, good game at milford yesterday with a very young bentley side just going down 22-18 (milford had aaron jones-bishop playing for them) just setting off to odsal now for part 2 COYD

FT Bradford 38 Dons 4

Honestly looking at other results today I'm pretty sure we are odds on for relegation. Current performances are not good enough.

It was always going to be this sort of score against the Bulls at Odsal. Next weeks home game will be a real test of what this team is capable of or not.

At half-time, I thought it was going to be worse than it ended up.

The key games are the ones against the teams in and around us. We're 11th of 14 with 9 points. Swinton are 12th with 8 points, Halifax are 13th with 8 points and Dewsbury are bottom with 2 points.

If we lose to Swinton and Halifax beat Whitehaven, we'll only have Dewsbury beneath us.

We're halfway through the season after next weekend but we will have played 8 at home and only 5 away.

Things will not be looking good is we lose against Swinton.
