Fev by a mile, these games should just have a line put through them. Don´t risk anyone with an injury , just focus on the games that are actually winnable. I don´t want another brave loss ala Leigh in the cup, it´s worthless. 

That's the spirit!

Batley earned a draw with Fev a week after we had put 50 past them. Halifax gave us a fright at Post Office Road. The narrow pitch at Odsal is a great leveller, Bradford were leading Leigh with 5 minutes left in the CC.

Unless one team capitulates games at Odsal are always likely to be a close arm-wrestle with the pitch at its current width, the last 3 games have been won by 1, 1 and 3 points. What does it say to the team about the club's ambitions if they're basically conceding defeat in a home game before kick off?

 

[David Shepherd]

Be a low scoring barge it up the middle game.

All you can really do on an under 9s pitch. 

[The Blues Ox]

Fev by 8. Bradford will get a response after their dire performance on Friday but Fev will be too strong.

[Cardypaul]

A lot will depend on the start if Fev score early it could be a long day for the bulls. If bulls stay in the game it will be tight.

It says I´m realistic and targeting more winnable games to get into the playoffs where a one of shock does make a difference is just smart management. 

So go out with the wrong attitude , and end up with even more injuries ?

[Rockingchair]

Tbh I’m not that bothered in this as a contest but game aside I’m really looking forward to the half time interval when Emma Louise Jones and Ross fiddes try the pies and are subsequently smashed by Steve crossley and ant Walker for stealing their halftime grub .

Did I say not try ? I was asked who do I think would win. Fev by a mile. If I am a manager any players who you are prioritising you rest and play someone else. Not really that complicated to grasp is it? No one with a brain is judging Kear on his ability to beat Fev. It´s games against Barrow , Haven and Batley that are going to decide the season. 

I agree , but even by just giving out the attitude that you've ' given the game up ' can produce an unhealthy mindset of those taking part , and potentially lead to injury , all IMO

Bulls by 6, the trouble in the flat caps camp boils over in a woeful display on a tight pitch on a rain soaked evening

Surely Fev will be able to say "we'll be better on a dryer track" and everything will magically be okay again?

That will be the post match interview as Brian chucks dirties at all asking questions

[Harry Stottle]

Fev by a lot, it just depends on how many they want to score, no disrespect to the Bulls but Fev are so far ahead with their playing roster that they could be from a different division. Yes they may well be come October but not without a fight from more able bodied than the Bulls.

Postage Stamp Pitch v Post Office Road.

Frankly, we are second class.

Let's hope we are first class lol.

[Harry Stottle]

Leigh now quite a way ahead than Fev on points difference, that being so I don't  see much leniency being bestowed on the Bulls from Fev.

[GUBRATS]

Come on you Bulls , could do with Emma playing full back for them , distract the Fev players

[Masters 13]

Fev by 30+

[The Blues Ox]

I don't see this as been a huge Fev win points wise although I feel it will be one of those games where Fev never look like losing. For Bradford to win this they will need a huge reaction from the Fax game and maybe go for 2 or 3 Fev players sending off this time.

[Mumby Magic]

I've been watching us for 35 years, a majority of that home and away. I have only once missed a game cos I thought we were going to lose. That was when we beat Saints away and Michael Worrincy had a Stormer. .

That said do I miss tonight's so we claim the points!!

[Cardypaul]

Not sure what to expect tonight. I suspect that Bradford will want a tight niggly affair with Fev favouring a free flowing game so we will have to wait and see.
