Doncaster in through Peter Fox. Poor defence again. Massive improvement needed for next week.

Shocking defence from Our team

Re: Doncaster V Bradford : Sun Apr 26, 2015 2:39 pm  

12 point game with 3 minutes to go. Massive questions over our defence again.

80+ points conceded in 2 game.

Re: Doncaster V Bradford : Sun Apr 26, 2015 2:42 pm  

Thankfully our attack is doing the job. Shaw in for a final Bulls try.

Re: Doncaster V Bradford : Sun Apr 26, 2015 2:46 pm  

We conceded 7 tries against a team bottom of the league who haven't won a game all year. MASSIVE issues with our defence again. Thankfully our attacking game is getting us home against the weaker teams. Play like that against Leigh, Sheffield or the SL teams and we will be embarrassed.

I wasn't there so can't comment on the nature of Dons tries, but I suspect we might have been a little complacent today, and maybe even still feeling the effects of last week?
Having said that, if we were complacent then the blame has to lie with Jimmy for not getting them up for the game. You probably have to question his half time team talk as well, given that the second half score was 22-22 against a part time side.

I'm still not convinced on Jimmy and Karl as a coaching setup. Jimmy might be a fan favourite and the passion is there, but do the pair of them have the coaching ability and technical nouce to be able to get this side promoted? The jury is still out for me.

Re: Doncaster V Bradford : Sun Apr 26, 2015 3:46 pm  

Shocking defence today. Just for comparison over the season Doncaster have only averaged 12 points a game. They bagged over 3 times as many against us.

Re: Doncaster V Bradford : Sun Apr 26, 2015 4:09 pm  

Awful defence today. Doncaster just ran through us at times. We looked very tired as well. Particularly O'brien. Got to make sure we don't burn him out.

Not going to have a knee jerk reaction over today's game, but a massive improvement is needed for next week.

Think top spot is Leigh's now though.

Re: Doncaster V Bradford : Sun Apr 26, 2015 4:57 pm  

Of the backs and halfback on show today I would only include Gaskell and Uisaile in my first choice 17 ....that might be harsh on Shaw. The others aren't doing enough to convince me. Add Mullaney, Williams, Blyth, Purtell and Siejka to the mix and we will improve. However I wouldn't be upset if we added another proven halfback.
