Thomas is solid but I think we’ve lacked a bit of threat and zip from the back without Gabe and Holroyd I've yet to be convinced by Thomas it's a shame Lee couldn't have got a run at FB with Thomas injured. It's a baptism for the young lad if he starts, if He's anything like his dad he'll be a good'n. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havenhater Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 This is one we need to be getting there if teams are gonna take us seriously. Rocked barrow last week with our last 17, now we have reinforcements and no excuses. Obrien and henson are massive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have Tomposh back and if Cus and Jake are back as well it should be a tight game as We've shown we can match it with likes of Barrow and Fev. Anybody know if there's been any new faces at training? Also we need to stop Walker early on, we can't let him rumble up the middle for an easy 20 metres. Walker isn't in the squad that's a relief.

He takes some pulling down but play quickly and some of those big forwards will leave some defensive gaps. All depends whether we can get enough go forward, but if we can and Matty is fit to do his sniping runs could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they've been frantically working behinds the scenes to secure a deal and have managed to do it in time for this match. Its a positive as far as I'm concerned.

IanMac Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Good luck todays lads. Not too sure what to expect, a Barrow performance or a Sheffield one, but hopefully Matty and Cus will have passed their fitness tests and we give a good account of ourselves. If there’s one team I’d like to beat it’s definitely this lot. UTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn 106 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Another tough day at DP today but I'm sure most of us prefer this to some of the stuff we've watched the last few seasons. If we only win one game this season I hoe its this one. The antics of this mob over the years makes my blood boil, and having Kear as coach makes it worse. Good look lads, UTT.

It may not have changed the result but at this level officials should not be that poor/inconsistent/blind. Although the touches are as much to blame.

townie88 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 What also bugged me today was our line up. You have 3 middles on the bench but still play a centre at loose. Play 2 wingers in the centres, and have our hardest running and tackling back (teare) stuck on the wing. Surely he's better suited to playing centre? Our right edge is poor in defence and concedes alot of points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
town blue Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Good effort, apart from two tries given away on last tackle (otherwise they tackled their hearts out) - a kinder bounce of the ball especially in first minutes and a better ref and the result may have been different.

Limmertime Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Thought Town played very well in parts. Ref wasn't great and TJs are pointless. On paper Bradford are a good team and town competed well. Out defence at times was excellent. We jus lack that ability to break the line, Doran and kicks aside we have limited options, id get Teare in centre for a start. Thought Broadbent looked like he could be good, few errors but tackled well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onreport Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Great effort, has to be one of the worst refs I have ever seen but to be honest we just lack that little bit of class to compete at this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Yeh refs are rubbish but let’s be honest we’re losing winnable games like that because we’re not big enough , we’re not disciplined enough and we’re not good enough . I didn’t think they were all that great tbh but again they had big lads we struggled to pull down , made lots of ground and halves who can play off it . They didn’t create stacks but physically controlled it .We were slowed and dominated in the ruck and despite lots of endeavour and commitment we’re just not matching up physically and we’re not clinical . And while we gave up some soft tries , with the ball we look pretty blunt and ponderous . Again we have lots of effort but that should be a given and it won’t win us any points . We’ve probably got half a team that’s good enough . Fitzsimmons is by far our best but playing 80 a week consistently in this league is something he shouldn’t really have to do . I still think Teare is a great talent , basically our only strike back but I’ve still no idea why he’s on the wing and not infield or even fullback with the attributes he has . It’s frustrating in the main Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THMS Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Yes the ref was awful... But... to me town had no fire in their bellies to want to win. Its the same old 1 man rugby or predictable cross right across the line. I'm actually finding them boring to watch! What is it going to take for us to start winning? New players? New coach? I really don't know but this is terrible. Bradford weren't anything special. If town had the passion to win we could of took them points today.!
