I have no enthusiasm for this team whatsoever, utter dribble.
If I'm not mistaken did't we trial the Canadian player in the Eagles team today and were told "He was not what we were looking for" so we let him go. Clearly JL and SF are not what we are looking for, JL need's to go now whilst there is time in the season to sort a poor team out.

Jimmy Lowes on Radio Leeds just quoted as saying that "I'm clearly not doing my job well enough to make the team mentally strong".
" Something goes wrong (break away try) and we start to lack self-belief"
"Could be a short week".
"I'm clearly not handling the psychology of this sport correctly"
"I take full responsibility for the lack of mental strength within the team"

He really sounded like a man who knows his game's coming to an end.....

Well we hit rock bottom at times there. We are so mentally weak it's unbelievable. As soon as we hit a bit of adversity the bottle goes and we play like a bunch of individuals.

Lowes interview on radio Leeds was interesting. He took full responsibility but sounded doubtful whether he could turn it around.

His time is now up.

Gaskell to Leigh.

Is not all this your fault bringbackjimmy? You seem to have got what you wished for.

As a PLAYER, obv.

I still can't believe what I witnessed - everything going fine until the Purtell pass - and the whole deflated quicker than a pricked balloon.

I know it was a bit of a daft pass, but better (ok then...'actual') half backs than him have had that happen to him, and it didn't necessarily result in total collapse of self-belief.

From that point forward it seemed inevitable we would lose - the confidence drained from us, and the confidence surged into Sheffield. Remember - they were on a bad losing streak, not that you'd know it from the last 60 minutes today.

I thought Keith Senior had a great impact off the bench for Sheffield today.

Haha I'm guessing that's me. I'll go change my Y fronts.

All seriousness how bad was that. We all know we have no idea on attack, 5 drives and a kick. It worked in the 2nd half for once so we try it to the other wing and there winger catches it and goes the length of the field. We have no other plan

He did spend an inordinately large amount of time on the pitch.

Or maybe I just notice his bald pate and gormless look more than every other pitch-interloper.

I watched a security guard go over to Thaler at HT. He was 6'5 and wearing a high viz vest. He said something to him, and they both had a laugh. I watched them walk up the tunnel together. I was specifically watching cos I thought it was odd he'd be talking to a security guard at that moment anyway. I presumed at the time he'd jokingly asked him if he needed an escort whilst going.

Were you on the Pop' side? I was, and I not only saw that but pointed it out to the person I was stood with and speculated with him about what had happened there.

I did see Ferres patrolling the speedway track on that side at some point in one of those long-ish black Bulls padded coats. You sure it wasn't the touchy he was having a go at?

[list=[/list


Yes he does seem to spend a lot of time on the pitch, but he did that in their last 2 games at Fev and Dewsbury which they lost so not an obvious advantage. If the officials don't say owt who's to blame. I think we have more worries than that

I thought it was quite funny tbh. And so did he when he could pick out individual voices in the crowd calling him a w@nker. He was laughing his head off.

At one point I thought Senior was gonna score

The same set of players,doing the same things week after week , but expecting a different result?

Rock Bottom imo.

Who bought,authorised,the players that have come to Odsal over the last two seasons(Ferres?)?Half of them didn't even play did they.So right from the outset,it has been a shambles of the highest order.
Ferres/Jimmy should be shown the door as the results are just not acceptable.That's a gimme.
Who takes over?It has to be someone who can man manage this lot and try to get the best out of them and has a scrum half hidden in his pocket.

What's Brian Smith doing right now?Or someone of his ilk,because if we just make do it will be the death knell of this once great club imo.

The fans who have continued to pay at the gate deserve a medal and certainly deserve much much better.

No need to speak about Chev Walker like that ...

Did you see Ferres on the pitch with the players at the end strange thing to see.

Awful again. If Lowes remains for much longer you can kiss goodbye to a lot of walk up support, the opinion on the terraces isn't good. I've just about had my fill of substandard performances under Lowes. Utterly clueless again today and our organisation on the pitch is non existent.

Time to leave on your own accord Jimmy. You've done your best but it isn't quite enough, save the club the embarrassment of dismissing a playing legend.

Been speaking to my lad about today's game. Obviously I've got very mixed emotions about it.

He has said when they were behind the sticks after Caros try in the 2nd half from a kick on the last tackle, the talk was the Bulls are so slow on attack in Sheffields 20 and so one dimensional, they knew we wouldn't be scoring too many points against them apart from a bit of luck. We then kick to the other side and there winger catches it and goes 100 metres. I guess they had a point

Rowley is out of a job and I hear young Ryan has a clause in his Giants contract that he can leave for whoever Rowley is coaching

Rowley has a job in Canada?

There is a saying: "If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got".
This is how it has been now for 18 months at Odsal. Same old same as.
My real concern now is that Jimmy should resign but who is there to take over. A knee jerk reaction could be just as bad, It is clear that Jimmy won't be offered a new contract and he must know that along with some other coaches who would possibly apply.
If Glen Morrison is our number 1 choice we should get him now.
If he isn't and we have no clear idea then Jimmy leaving will leave us in a mess as there is no obvious replacement in the club other than Disko but he may be handing in his notice soon if he gets the Batley job.

I said the other day and will repeat my feeling that Jimmy should say he will see out his contract and this gives the Bulls a chance to advertise without rushing.
I believe Glen would apply but I would also get Robbie to give Matty Elliot a call. I wouldn't go for B Smith as he only does short term as he did with us when Matty did all of the work. He has gone down in my estimation.

We won't attract a current coach of a top team such as Tony Smith as he is soon out of contract so it probably needs to be an up and coming coach or an older one who wants to help the club. I don't think Potter would touch us after his work without pay and how we treated his assistant (Franny) who stood by him when it got tough.

Mr green will be having a very uncomfortable evening knowing he needs to make a massive decision either way. Get it right and the enthusiasm will return very quickly. Get it wrong and ............. who knows what will happen to the Bulls if the supporters walk away in large numbers.

The best we can hope for is that Mr Green has already made the decision and it turns out to be a good one and which pleasantly surprises us all.

I was talking to Doug from Emmerdale, who used to be a shareholder, in the bar after the game. He said something was happening right now, or maybe he was just acting, I don't know

Spot on I've got a shafted ankle at the minute went today out of duty if its still bad come next game at home will think twice about it.

I did not. But I was off as soon as the hooter went.
