Home advantage, a bit of confidence from last week's game.
Thoughts on a win?
As every season with CC a win is what we need for the team, but is progressing into next round and possibly facing much stronger opposition worth it?
Defensively I reckon we will be ok against Bradford, we need to post points to show we can score.
My prediction, a loss by one score, something like 12-18 hope am proved wrong

Well it shouldn't be the mud bath that Fev looked although rain due again today & AFC using it Saturday I believe. Unless we have our best 17 playing, think it will be easier than that for Bradford. Not going to make any money out of this game & playing a SL side should we win would be embarrassing. Maybe we should have moved the game to Bradford.

Will be a loss, but probably 2 or 3 scores. Bradford will just bully us to score the tries they need

Bradford by as many as they want.
As.others have said elsewhere, we've not scored a try from our own attacking prowess since week 1......defending 5h3nline will take its toll as the season drags on

My modest hope is that we compete and score at least 2 tries. What won’t be acceptable is hearing about COVID absences and an even weaker side than before being put out. Our best 13, or near as, need to start getting some match time together if we are to avoid relegation. As the song goes “it is later than you think”.

In fairness we appear to have put out our strongest squad to date. It’s unfortunate that Bradford are both good and could do with a win but I’m hopefully we can put up a stronger performance than the last two home games. Sadly crowd looks like it’s going to be sub 500 but it is what it is.

I'm going for a home win. New Hooker Gahan to play half back and make a difference. Backs looking more exciting, although I would have liked having Horsman in the 17 as he tried to do something different against Whitehaven.

Biggest miss from what I've seen will be Bienek. I think this will be the first appearances this season of Ulberg, Albert, Gahan, Walker. You would think they are all upgrades on the teams so far.

I guess the next two ideal additions would be a playmaking half back and a big mobile forward.

Dont see a win today, but if we keep bradford close it will give hope for games coming up vs Barrow and Sheffield. Keep bradford to within 2 scores, actually score some offensive tries and we might be able to start the turn around in a couple of weeks.

Just had a look at the tickets sold, and it looks really poor, if ticketco is correct it will be around 500 max. Bradford don't look to be bringing many down either

Anybody there?

8-18 HT

8 - 24 now, wheels have come off with 2 quick tries.

just tweeted attendance was 551? looks like wheels have come off on the gates as well

Attendance announced as 551.

How many of those were from Bradford?

no idea, not at the game, will need for somebody who is there for the breakdown

Looks like we're in need of a fitness coach! 4 tries conceded in the last 13 minutes including 2 in the last minute!

Attendance 551, and lost 34-8 with no points in 2nd half, playing our strongest lineup this season. Coach is out of his depth, you could argue apart from 1 or 2 thats our full strength team, and another hammering, and another 2nd half with 0 points.

Its a long way to the Dewsbury game in May to wait for our first potential win

My predictions at the seasons start.

Have to say, I'll stick.with it as Sheffield look more shaky than us at present

2017 cup tie v Toronto 750 fans
2020 cup tie v York 541 fans
2022 cup tie v Bradford 511 fans

Yep.....Wimbledon is the mutts nuts for London.
A handful of shirts in the shop, no kids zone, 95% empty stadium and a spanking ......that'll have them flocking in next weekend.

And you would expect Bradford to bring more down that York as well, which makes the 2020 to 2022 comparison even more embarassing

What is telling is the Twitter feed couldn't/wouldn't post a picture of the crowd...... and I've still not seen pictures of corporates in the lounge.......the club is a shambles and posting "limited spaces" in the lounge when it's empty does them no favours.

It's time to cut the mustard.

I should think almost half the crowd was from Bradford. I fear for your future but wish you the best of luck.

For 65 minutes that was a really interesting and competitive match. Walker, Albert and Ferreira didn't make the final 17.

At 0-12 a looked like only one winner. But two unconverted tries made it 8-12 at half time. Early second half and London had a chance to lead. Macani (possibly) crossed the line on the far side but was called back for an infringement. A teasing grubber kick pinned Bradford behind their own goal line.

With less than fifteen minutes to go Bradford scored and the Broncos basically capitulated conceding a further three trys. The game opened up as Bradford spread the ball and the Broncos looked exhausted as the solid tackling earlier in the game became non-existent.

Personally I though they played significantly better than in the Whitehaven match against what looked like better opposition. After three matches I'm still yet to see a Broncos kick clear the cross bar!

Bienek (from what I've seen) and Albert (from my expectations) would have helped a lot. The addition of Walker and Ferreira in the backs also. Half Backs seemed to do okay but still an area that could do with an upgrade.

Gahan played Hooker and was very involved. With my Union hat on (apologies) he played like a scrum half on offence.

Was surprised to see Pallumbo at Centre. And playing a Hooker (Parata) at Loose Forward, is that unusual?

I want to see a competitive match and I felt today was. Yes the last 15 minutes was incredibly one side; and it truly was, but I enjoyed that match far more than the first two.

MyPie was back, but I wonder how many London fans bought a pie (or were even aware of them). I'd expect their best business would have come from the Bradford fans due to being behind the South Stand.

Here's an interesting one. Less than an hour before the match (and before we bought our tickets) over 600 tickets had been sold (or at least showed as unavailable) which was more than the announced attendance. 194 were "sold" in the South Stand. Not sure there were quite that many Bradford fans present.
