Having been a Bradford supporter for over 40 years I am starting to see similar signs to that of the times under Seabourne and more recently McNamara. JK has done a fine job of stabilising the club in difficult circumstances but I feel he has maybe taken us as far as he can. The fans are going to start voting with their feet (not me I may add as I believe as a supporter you support through thick and thin) and unless the board make some changes soon it could be very damaging financially. This team has far too much talent to be playing one up boring rugby - five drives and a kick to Gill’s side. It’s just far too boring and predictable and easy for opposition teams. The best sides play a simple structure which is safety in the red zone but once you are out of that then fast, expansive rugby is the way to both entertain and also frighten the life out of the opposition. For the first time in a long time we have some serious pace in the likes of Millar, Hall, MDJ but we are not using them wisely. We are trying to be battering rams and that’s so much easier to defend against. Offloads etc….can’t remember one offload in the past three or four games from us. There is nothing more knackering as a defender than running back to the ref, turning round and seeing the opposition have offloaded and you need to get back up there. The moment they went down to 12 men that should have been the plan on a dry pitch…throwing the ball about, offloading and playing expansive. In fact that should be the way we play every week other than if it’s horrendous weather. Only then should an up the jumper, win it down the middle approach be taken.
