Im in the camp which says DH can't get anyone suitable in at this time of the season.

coach's reputations are at stake.

We would be better off without a coach

What about the club's reputation ? The club have shown no respect for the few fans they have by seemingly writing off the season. It really has become diabolical.

We are being treated with contempt. Everyone is sorry for the Bradford fans, who cares about us. From now on Powell has a new name: The Joker!

It is a Disgrace now and nothing else!

That'll be my last away trip of the season.

I missed yesterday the first away game of the season, but until some serious action is taken I think that will be my last game this season, the club are now just exploiting the last remaining loyal fans they have. I no longer know what they are up to are they running down the club or just given up on this season we deserve to be told, there is a complete silence from those at the top.

The comments from Powell posted on facebook this morning are a complete joke, it has taken him all season to realise what loyal supporters have been saying all season, unfortunately there is only one way out of this complete crisis and that starts with the sacking of Rob Powell, it is then up to the RFL if they want to offer him a post in development. I can't see the attitude on the pitch could go any lower without a coach especially one that has struggled for so long.

The Bulls dominated for long spells of the contest at Osdal, leaving a try brace from Kieran Dixon and a further score from Will Lovell as scant consolation.
And Powell was quick to voice his frustration.

He said: "We were out-enthused and that is what disappoints me the most.

"We did not have the energy from the start of the game and that is a concern.

"We had a lot more reason to come out strongly than they did and we didn't.

"We are very disappointed that after everything we said and did in training this week, we came out and performed like that."

The result sees the Broncos stuck at the foot of the table.

And the coach insists he will leave no stone unturned to reverse that before the end of the campaign.

Powell added: "I want to win games and that is why I want to coach the team.

"There might be this perception that it does not matter to London but that is not the case.

"It is not in my nature to accept losing games and we will be working very hard to put that right over the coming weeks."

An obvious bright spot for the Londoners at Bradford was the performance of Kieran Dixon, who burst over for two tries right out of the top drawer.

And Powell accepted more players have to follow the lead of the speedy winger.

He added: "The pattern through the year for us has been the younger players doing well and outshining the more senior players.

"The positives in our games have often been Kieran, Dan Sarginson and the like and if the senior players had stepped things up we might not have been in this position.

"But it is all about the development of them and the club and they are learning week by we

Admission of the split between the camps then with Senior players not on side.

I know this has been suggested before, but I'm beginning to think that they are deliberately letting the club die in a way that is alienating the hardcore support so that when they pull the plug (probably at the end of this season), nobody will kick up a fuss or even care.

It looks that way.

I would have to say that Powell is partly correct - some seniors have disappointed (Rodney certainly; perhaps also Randall, Witt, Howell, Clubb and Gower (defensively)). That said, Powell has only dropped one senior (Dorn) and has persisted with the rest, not altering Gower's position in defence which has become a worry (though see next sentence for some explanation). He's also over-used some seniors - Kaufusi, Gower and Bailey have all needed a break at some point this year.

But Powell's handling of the youngsters has been terrible. Granted that Dixon has had a breakthrough year - for which Powell deserves some credit - but Channing, JOC and Lovell have been cruelly over-exposed at centre with no sign that they will be removed from the firing line. Conversely, Krasniqi and Bolger have looked fine at this level but don't get the game time they deserve.

I hope Powell's comments do not reflect the results of the review - that the kids are alright and the seniors are the problem. It's obviously more nuanced and I bet some of the seniors will be getting ed off with the finger being pointed at them.

He is the problem - Thats the review complete.

Could you imagine if we were in the top 8 & playing well (as was hoped by most pre season) what sort of crowds we could of anticipated for the Wigan and Wire games coming up.

At the moment I can only see pies and wire fans in attendance. This is what it was like last week when we played leeds, nearly all leeds fans.

Surely we would be better off with Howell and Clubb in the centres, as we have more cover in the forwards (Bryan and Thomas could do a job for us, as well as Bolger and Krasniqi).

Agree with Colly that Gower, Fusi and Bailey need a break...was surprised that Gower even travelled on Sunday, when we all saw him hobble off on crutches last week. At least there's no game this week.

RP had a bit of dig at the youngsters earlier in the season so it seems he's changing tack a bit. Karl Harrison said on the commentary that he thought the coach could do with a bit of help. He also said he was impressed with Dixon and that Bryant had worked really hard, so RP probably not having a dig at him.

I notice that the media aren't focusing on us at all now (which is good). If we were winning, we would be getting plaudits for fielding 7 Londoners in our team. Big "if" at the moment, sadly.

Benny, this is the only logical, if bonkers theory, that makes any sense. We are definitely, in an Alice Through the Looking Glass, situation!

Yesterday was another pathetic embarrassment with our terminally ill club shipping in 18 points in the first 18 minutes at which point it was game over.

We seem to have multiple groups of people involved:

The deluded - e.g. Powell and Hughes.

The pension mob - e.g. Howell and Randall

The play half or less games brigade - e.g. Temata and Colbon

The inept - e.g. O'Callaghan, Witt and Rodney

The outcasts - e.g. Dorn, Bryan and Thomas

The performers - e.g. Antonio and some of the youngsters

The regulars - e.g. Clubby, Melling and Bailey

The first four groups have too many people in them and the last two groups too few. There isn't much to work with.

It as if instead of energy drinks we load up on embalming fluid and that miserable bearded bell end is the kiss of death

Well, that's cheered me up, Mark.

Very succinct, Mark.

Flagtastic I'd say.....where do I send the cheque?

Not as catchy as "Brian Macs Barmy Army" but it could catch on.

.........he's shave, just to spite us!

For the purposes of a new chant, will be best to drop the "bearded" bit..."Miserable Bell Ends Barmy Army" scans better.

Can't wait to try it out at the Wigan game.

My attempts to get a rousing rendition of Rob Powell's Barmy Army failed miserably last time out. Who knows maybe this will work better?

It will Darth. The key is in the words "Miserable" and "Bell-end"

I'm surprised this chant didn't catch on when McDermott was coach.
