Hoping we get a decent ref that doesn’t let it get out of hand, that our players keep their cool and don’t get sent off and that nobody gets injured - although I reckon the likes of ACD, Conway and Sheehan will get targeted for a physical mauling. If we continue to defend as a team as we have been doing recently we have the pace to transition into attack quickly and that could be a great asset as Bradford have tended to attack in numbers this season which will create space for us to break into. This is not a game for JDC to be throwing himself to the ground and claiming a foul every 5 minutes - he needs to stand up and be counted if it gets physical. Everyone needs to be on it today - I have an uneasy feeling that anything but our best won’t be good enough. That said, we could batter them. Darren Drysdales the ref lusty considered one of the worst in L1 so I think we need to be very careful of any intimidation from Bradford and not rise to it. To be fair our disciplinary records been pretty good this year so hopefully we won’t and it will be Bradford who feel the brunt?
November 22, 2025Nov 22 Not sure about Morley for Simons but SS has got more right than wrong this season
November 22, 2025Nov 22 The rumour @royal whitemade up was right ha This ground doesn't have the infrastructure for 26k fans btw.

November 22, 2025Nov 22 I take it back, there is a chance that Simons doesn’t start. Not one I agree with but SS knows more than me, Rest of the team is spot on. I’d be finding out who’s leaking team news!

November 22, 2025Nov 22 Bradford as i thought picked a team that will flood the midfield and hit us on the break Sorry but i cannot have that midfield if Simons has not been ill or has a slight knock

We're actually on the exact same points as last season after the same number of games, but last season that had us in 9th, 9 points off top. We'd have to win the next 4 in a row to get to the 2 PTS per game average usually needed to be top 2. Such a weird division this year. Shows it's there for the taking though if we can get a run together. Wow that’s insane Shows the need for a bit of perspective. Difference is that this time last season we didn’t look like we were making any progress

November 22, 2025Nov 22 Author Bradford fans seem happy that have lots in midfield and pace up front. If we get the wide lads in game it will cause them problems, if not, less positive.

November 22, 2025Nov 22 We look a little slower in our efforts to get back and defend as a unit than we have been recently - perhaps because of our eagerness to get forward. Don’t think it’s a tactical change from SS but it is slightly concerning. Not quite settled into this game yet with Bradford unsettling us as every opportunity. Unsurprisingly they are using the dark arts - blocking runs, off the ball fouls and what looked to me like a headbutt on Tutu made to look like a clash of heads. Dirty bastards.
