I'd go looking for a hungry aussie coach a la Rohan Smith from the Queensland/NSW Cup level - someone like Luke Burt at the Burleigh Bears as an example

I heard a rumour Radford was coming in until the end of the season but it's not something I'd want.

Don't think i'm biased...

Re: Next 5 Games : Tue May 02, 2023 11:10 am  
God... we really do have some of the most fickle/unrealistic supporters in the game don't we.

In five games time we will have played everyone in the league, plus Keighley for a second time. Should the table form hold up, we will be looking at a record close to 9/10 wins and 4/5 losses... not the worst case scenario given that both the squad and culture needed a massive overhaul.

Anyone with any kind of managerial experience will understand that making such changes does not get results change overnight and I'd say that Dunning's work has more than suggested the team is moving in the right direction. Yes bad results will happen, but changing course at this time will only set things back and I think MD needs more time to show what he is really capable of.

It winds me up when it is suggested that he isn't a proper coach... couldn't be further from the truth. Mark has been coaching for years across all age groups and abilities. Its just plain ignorant to suggest otherwise. Every coach got their first team start somewhere so people need to cut him some slack.

If the second half of the season mirrors the first, Bradford will have a record that matches that of Halifax and Barrow last year, both who finished top 4 so lets not get too far ahead of ourselves before jumping to rash decisions and judgements like if we should be sacking the coach.

As teams start and get knocked out of the playoffs in the French Elite 1 competion there may well just be a couple of new players heading our way at some point during this run of games ....

I thought forums were places where one could express an opinion, mine and others are no less valid than yours - it's simply what I would have done given the chance, but the club are standing by Dunning and we'll see how that works out for good or ill.

Now I think you should probably have a lie down and don't fret too much its just a forum, it doesn't really matter.

Where have I said you can't express an opinion? You've said your piece and i've said mine... isn't that what forums are for? :roll: I just happen to think you don't know what you are talking about, but thats just my opinion based on your comments.

And thanks for looking after my welfare but I'm ok for a lie down. I've been in and around the club for over 35yrs so I've seen enough ups and downs (more downs than ups unfortunately) to know what is said on the terraces or written online doesn't really matter or change anything.

Anything less than 5 wins on the bounce has to be considered a failure

Re: Next 5 Games : Mon May 08, 2023 7:55 am  
Why would Bradford have applications from all over the world applying for the coaching job.
Bradford have been off the radar for many years now.
Look at Leeds United nobody cares and time has moved on.
Bradford are just an average team at best so get used to it.
Signing players at the end of there careers and loan, duel reg players will always cause this situation.
Bradford have reserves and youth set up why dont they use them fans love to see home grown talent.
