poor totally! ...

however we are rebuilding this has to be a 3 year plan ... The likes of Sibbet, Sykes (dont make me laugh!), Raynor etc are not good enough but are hopefully a stop gap

The half backs are a problem .. not too sure what people expect .. Neither has super league experience.

We can lose every week but its the manner ... 34 missed tackles (28 by sykes!) is not good enough.

bad day ...

Who the hell is that Herbert? Looks like he had a tough paper round.

Of course, Salford were lucky...

Bradford just had an off day.

No point picking on individual players, all were poor, some were woeful.
Never believed that I could be made to feel so angry & embarrassed as that Bradford performance made me tonight.
It was a performance totally lacking effort and "know-how" (37 missed tackles) and we were made to look completely out of our depth by a very ordinary Salford outfit.
That team owes every Bulls supporter a big win next thursday!!!

When we announced Potter as coach, i thought no matter who pulls on the Bradford shirt, we will have a solid defence, How wrong was i. Our defence is woeful. Sykes and Walker are like revolving doors, Raynor is a has been, out of position far too much. Briggs was very poor today, as for Herbert i really cant see him getting any better, he's certainly no 7, his in field kicking game is about as bad as ive ever seen for Bradford. Lynch is a very good forward, but no way is he captain material. We have to face it, were an average team, with average players.

Conceding 50 points to Salford when they havent even got a coac is as low as it gets. Im gutted.

Great teams get results when they play poor.
Good teams scrape results when they play poor.
Average teams rely on fortune when they play poor.
Ordinary sides look to blame around them when they play poor.
Poor sides are just poor when they play poor.

It would be interesting to see where Bulls fans see their side after that performance. Regardless of the outcome, is the side Great, good, average, ordinary, or poor?

Then again, if you turn-up at any SL game this season expecting a result and don't put the effort in you will get beat.

In my opinion, Salford were much better on the day, simple. To say we are ordinary is a little bit disrespectful.

was like watching the macca era all over again.

Wow that's one embarrassing result.

He'll be looking for a superleague gig in just a few months .....

Awful awful awful.
Dont think it gets much worse than that. Cant really point the finger as the whole team were poor but Sykes needs dropping no way can he be in the squad for thursday. Dread to think what could happen againts Leeds.

Unfair to pick out any individual they were all poor.

That's the first time this season that we have lost a game that, if we have any intentions of making the playoffs, we should be winning.
Our defence is now so poor that all teams need to do is pass it along the line. Our non-existent sliding defence is too slow to keep up and the gaps will be found at the edges.

To make matters worse I'm pretty sure Tom Burgess got an injury, so he might miss Thursday's game. So who will be our fourth prop? Crossley I suppose.

Jesus Christ. That is diabolical, even for you.

Bloody disgrace they were today.

It is easy for some to pick on Sykes but he was not the worst. Sykes is utter p!sh but he tried but he just ain't good enough.

Lets look at Briggs for example. What an absolute pile of garbage he is. Simply terrible player and completely out of his depth.

it ain't looking good at all.

I can't think of one positive to take out of tonight's game to be honest. It was bad watching it live so god knows what it was like on TV

Much better. I sky +'ed it and could fast forward.

You can't flog a dead donkey!
They won't get much done this week with the game coming sO soon on Thursday. Leeds may destroy us. Raynor and ainscough poor, Godwin must be laughing so hard at us right now!

Can't defend that sort of performance.. simply not good enough in too many areas and Salford exploited it. Credit to Salford they played some good Rugby but some of the tackle attempts were so weak it was embarrassing. The ball handling and penalties at crucial times continue to happen and it is something that Potter needs to address.

We don't have a team full of superstars but collectively they're a million times better than they showed today. If we expect to make this years play offs then there will need to be some drastic improvements. We could do with a couple more classy players in certain areas but I just cannot see those gaps being filled this year.

Only positive I brought away from today was thank god Salford outbid us for Fat Feka.

We were absolute e, but some on here are going way over the top.

It's painful watching a Bradford side play like that. But if we do play to our best 9which we haven't yet) and if the players play to their full potential then we will be alot better. McNamara left us in a mess (and no, I am not blaming him for todays loss like some others are!) and, even though the Bulls marketing suggests it, Potter doesn't have a magic wand. Building a decent side takes time, but I do think Potter is the man to do it. We're not far into the season - and Potter made it very clear in the press and at the fans forum that this side would need time, and patience from the fans. I know I'm still prepared to give him time.

And I wish people wouldn't slate Briggs so much. He was poor, but how can you write him off after only his second game in Super League?

Yes, cos we are far better with Kopczak and Burgess.

It's only ten games in don't forget were still gelling as a team.

Because he clearly is not good enough, that is why.

we shudnt criticise tho. give them a loving arm, an open ear n a few kind words. tell em its fine

And you can tell that from 2 SL apps?

He's going to take time to get up to SL pace, so maybe at this moment in time he isn't good enough. There's certainly potential in him - he looked excellent in the championship (I know its a lot tougher in SL) and there were rumours that we weren't the only club sniffing around him. I trust Potter's judgement more than yours though (No offence, i'm not having a dig, its just he has already proved alot as a SL coach!)
