Decent'ish looking squad with some promising youngsters. New coach will make a difference and I see them in the hunt for 6/7/8th place.

I think it'll be a hard place to go again. They'll tighten up defensively under Potter.

Potter may make a difference, but this squad has the look of, lets say, a Salford side of recent years. A few decent names, but quite a few who've "seen better days/weren't that good in the first place/maybe even journeymen". I think the days of fearing Bradford are over for the time being

The pack looks pretty decent but the backs are pretty average, Chev Walker and Gareth Raynor are both past there best. 7th or 8th at best for me, but they could still bring in another 1-2 decent players if they get Orford off there books.

Fairly good team especially in the forwards but like previouslty mentioned Walker and Raynor past there best i would prefer for them to give Vinny Finigan and Royston a chance. 7th/8th at best for me

If any Bradford fan would have suggested that they would have a line up similar to that above about 6 or 7 years ago you would have laughed them off the forum.

It just makes you appreciate what we have.

Far too many changes and too many mediocre players to be successful. What the Bulls have done in the close season reminds me of us in 2002 when we had a big clear out and then signed a whole series of players who were 'drinking in the last chance saloon.' Bradford have done something similar and I don't expect them to be even challenging for eighth place.

And if you'd told any Wire fan that Sibbit would be playing for Bradford they'd say "typical Wire can't hold onto their promising youngsters"

Actually if you'd told Bradford fans about this squad 6 or 7 years ago they'd probably thought Raynor, Walker and Sykes were pretty good prospects

I think the Bulls will go well under Potter, he is a good coach. In the past three seasons each of his clubs have finished third or above.
