I think it's coming home to roost now for Wood. He finally gets to the point of his cunnning plans and the team starts to let him down, Kear and the coaching staff go into coast mode, RD gets Grade II status and I understand Mrs Wood has decided pastures new with 50% of everything he has is the way forward.

Wonder if he'll need to sell half of the club too?

For the first time ever I feel sorry for him...

I'd imagine we have a very healthy budget compared to most in this division. Patton, Gill, Lilley, Doyle. Which makes Kears comments about we're alright as we're only at 50% even more infuriating. Because we don't have Workingtons record we're doing OK?

If there's not an urgency from him that we've lost 3 home games out of 4 against Sheffield, Barrow, and 12 man Halifax, somethings wrong.

His comments are the attitude we had in the game. "We'll be alright" . Unfortunately Halifax had other ideas. As did Barrow. And so will the rest of the opposition in the league.

Talking of Barrow who beat us by 1 point. Next up we have Fev who dismantled Barrow... With our unfit defence I'd say we are looking at shipping in 60-70 points?

Fev game will go one of two ways. We'll get humiliated, or we'll see our usuql brave response on TV, throw the ball around as we have nothing to lose (like we did against Leigh where we scored a pearler) bravely lose, and apparently everything will be OK and it "proves the players care"

I expect Fev might see this game as an opportunity to rest a few players and rotate their squad. Hopefully that might keep the score to 40-50.

I see in the T & A that JK is saying that "It's a 50 per cent record we've got this season, not a 10 per cent one.", and that he's "been in worse holes than this as a head coach".
Well, okay Mr Kear, let's look a little deeper into your spin.
As of this morning, the "50%" played 8 and lost 4 stats don't show the total picture. Look at the points for and against. Within the top 10 teams, we are placed 9th. We have the 2nd worst points difference in the top 10. We have equal 3rd worst points "for", and 2nd worst points "against".
Kear then goes on to say ""I don't feel under pressure, I feel annoyed, angry, frustrated and disappointed"
That suggests to me that either his paymasters are comfortable with JK's playing style, results, etc. Or that he knows that the end is in sight for him.
As others have said, I think he has been good overall for Bradford, but the time really is right for him to move on. We have little chance of finishing in the top echelon of the division, crowds are reducing, even the hardnosed the fans are disillusioned. Players appear to be unfit, overweight, and show little passion or tactical management, while appearing to lack the motivation needed to smash a local rival.
What's left to look forward to for the rest of the season under the current regime ? Something simply HAS to change. I'm not generally a "sack the manager" speccy, but in this case it's the only way forward IMHO.

Going to watch this just isn’t enjoyable any more. I suspect many are forcing themselves to go out of duty.

I’ve missed a couple despite having a season ticket, I’m not sure I can bring myself to go on a work / school night to watch us get trounced by Fev. Could be a sub 1k crowd.

I echo this statement. I feel like my attendance is somehow impacting on my loyalty to the club. Like I'm part of some daft cult where I sit through 80 minutes of drab rugby league and pay £25 for the privilege. Live sport is an entertainment business and right now, we are not in the slightest bit entertaining to watch.

I've just seen the RFL highlights from last night where the camera position is nearer the terracing giving a clearer view of the game winning try. For the final Halifax try, Gill and Millar are lying on the floor and Elliot Hall takes a step back inside allowing Jouffret to dive over the top of them. Embarrassing defending. Hall did really well a few tackles before with a last ditch effort to keep Halifax out but he's let himself down there. Millar and Gill having a power nap on the floor is embarrassing.

... only to then lose at Whitehaven the following week

Like a lot of people I know that have fallen out of love withe Bulls, I pick and choose my games at present. Wish I hadn't picked last nights.
Drab was an under statement, sure the forwards ran well and sometimes we look like we have a few moves but its all do predictable its easily snuffed out.
Kear has done a job but its time we looked at freshening up the coaching staff, Dunning and al.

Id go for Nobby. Get that sword back out in the changing room and Leon or Baloo as assistant.

Another thing can someone explain how £25 is going to entice the casual supporter from turning up and watching?
You can watch Manchester City for less in the champions league!
