Hope to god we don't offer con Mika a new contract! Not after today only, over the whole time at rovers! Least average meters made from each carry out of our forwards this season - Con Mika, most missed tackles - Con Mika, most errors - Con Mika..worrying stats

Gotta say he sounded very cagey when Chris Park was interviewing him. Dont know whether he was deflated or just generally pi$$ed off. I did too think wtf when he said about playing busted players!

I'm with u AS my other half has a new job working abroad just come back from a three week trip in Hong Kong we will go to some games but my willingness to go to all the away games like we did a few years ago can't justify wasting the money I'd rather have a two week holiday abroad as sad as it is I love kr but when it's between the inconsistency and prob poor decisions from the coach who to play each week (favourites) spring to mind I can't be bothered with it, however I still want them to do well, that's how it gets u I'm afraid

Imo We need to balance the experience with the young guns, too many raw players at the moment with eden, brown,salter,burns,walker,Carlisle, Mika, griffin with no real great sl experience and even our 'experienced' players haven't really been there done that like Ben galea had when he came to rovers!

Entirely predictable today. As soon as we come up against a half decent side we were back to square one. Our defence was utterly gash as usual, we were ill disciplined and got punished far too easily. Contrast in the 2nd half, we got a run of penalties and still couldn't score. The Bulls could defend their line, and had read the script with the short ball from Burns to Eden. Every time we tried this he was met with a 2 man tackle.

Having been handed our s on a plate we will no doubt react and put on a crack-papering performance next week, but we are on for a dry-bumming or 2 over Easter.

Que letting benny galea go

Think this is how it's gonna be stan right through out the season Tbf and I can't see sandercock getting a new contract tbh

We've got no experienced players left tho

That's the problem, need to get rid of dead wood like con Mika, Graeme Horne, Evarne tuimivave (I know he' hasn't played many games but he hasn't impressed me at all) and replace them with solid experienced players who's strongest asset is defence although its easier said than done and we don't have the £££!!!

Nope, I'm 100% more happier with Paterson in the team as i thought galea was slightly past it although I reckon he could have done a job this season for us replacing the dire con Mika!!!

But not been funny two of them sandercocks own choices mika blows hot and cold don't he agree about Evarne are these the types of players we can only afford now, I just can't understand him playing crocked players what kind of a coach does that I've stuck up for him but after listening on humberside then all I'm gonna say is he's not good enough week in week out to coach the team, maybe I'm wrong, I normally am

I'm not saying Patterson as I like Patterson but yer mika maybe

I don't think for one minute you are wrong ginge i have thought for a wile this guy is not good enough for a first team coach he has to go i am sorry to say

Tuimavave was good today, made decent metres, other than a ridiculous ball carry in the first ten minutes that a player of his experiene should never do.

I haven't entirely given up on Mika, but today he was terrible. Knock on that I'd have been shot for as an under thirteen player and a penalty that had massive gormclops written all over it. Cost us two tries.

Plays like those three meant that Bradford didn't even need a game plan, as long as they held onto the ball and spread it wide they'd score due to our ultra narrow defence and anyone having the nouse to slide.

Controversial reply coming up here; Brian noble with sandercock as assistant coach.....

Sounds a tad expensive.

Thought that, all boils down to £££

I agree, some people dont seem to rate Evarn but hes a solid player and makes good metres. As for Mika he is just infuriating, its just that sometimes he simply looks like he cant be d and thats annoying, but maybe thats just his demeanor

And finally yes the tries we conceded today were pi55 poor defending. Shock, horror.

Even if we had the money its a ridiculous suggestion. It would completely undermine CS and he would never agree to it anyway. Either keep him or get someone else.

Agree about Tuimavave he really is starting to find some form and was class for us in the second-half though his dodgy ball carry and his dissent in the first half was not clever at all.

Mika's knock-on wasn't too bright but I thought Carlile seemed in two minds at the play the ball as if he was going to try something else and then passed to Mika when had he passed without the hesitation, there would have been no problem.

7 penalties in 24mins; not sure a coach can do anything about that.

Still had a cracking curry in Bradford after the game

Well sandys had over a year and let's be honest, the defence has improved by 0% and I think discipline is getting worse! Don't get me wrong though I do admire his attacking structures etc, hence the reason I thought at assistant

We were told by our Newcastle correspondent that Mika was and is lazy, it's all well and good banging people about with a couple of Hollywood hits every game, but it doesn't stand up so well when you're miles off at marker or just clear missing one on ones.

Which reminds me, Welham flying out of the line (which I am a supporter of at times) on Kearney whilst within our own twenty. The kid isn't a rookie any more, and that read was terrible, particularly as he didn't even land a little finger on Kearney's shirt.

Need to stop this now, I only ever post after a game when we've lost!

Im not saying we should start a Sandy fan club, and I agree our defence is terrible. Its just not a feasible solution, its CS or someone else simple as. His job must be in the balance knowing his contract talks are coming up soon. Win against Cas and FC and people will start believing we have turned the corner. Lose them both and I think Hudge might act.

No I really won't.
So much so that I have been asked if I want to shift swap which means I will mist the derby game on TV at Easter and I'm truly considering it.

This isn't about money as the pass is bought and paid for as is the home and away shirts and I'll get a pass and shirts next season but I have a certain sense of 'meh' is the only way to put it.

I've always thought it should be noble, he got crusaders into the play offs in his latest job and that took some doing!! But I'd love to see sandercock do good but if we lose these next 2, he's a dead man walking. Does anyone know anything about Dobbo? Heard he's out of the derby which will definately turn things around with regards to the next 2 games!
