22 points from 22 games is by definition average but it's six points more than this stage last season and two points more than under Peter Gentle in 2013. Should we beat Wigan 24pts from 23 would be our third best return after that number of games since 2007, just two points fewer than 2012.

Lawson why would I need the Samaritans, did my team lose, or am I attacking ladies on an Internet forum. I think you need to look at your own state of mind.

Interesting perspective.

Extra kudo for that hit on kelly

Yes, we only won by 10, but Sneyd and Abdulls game management (and Danny H) in the second half ensured we attacked more than defended and just consolidated the lead.

If Ellis had support for the rampaging runs, we'd have been 12 points clear at half time and out of sight in the second half. I truly hope its not game over for Gaz, but a snapped Achilles takes far too much rehab. Any word on Pryce? He was looking pretty sharp before that shoulder hit the deck.

Mini was superb last night, a true leader for the kids coming through. 80 minutes coming back from injury is no mean feat. My MOM, with Abbo and Rankin running him close. Having 15 men for most of the game would have been a perfect excuse to lose, but sheer bloody team-spirit and pride got us over the line.

Finally, I'm loving Michaels' and Logan's partnership. That will bear a lot of fruit for us.

Brilliant.

Hanging by a thread fella, leave it be fore you embarrass yourself further

Just hope it doesnt get broken up when Yeamans fit.

I wasn't been funny I know your in a better position than us and I expected the obvious replies like worry about your own team etc but say sio didn't drop the ball and a few minutes later Dixon went the full length and scored we could have won a game that we got totally dominated in ifs and buts I know but to me you were the better team by at least 20pts

Or another way of reading your initial post is FC are so s*** we can only beat even s****** teams like KR?

As for worrying about whether what we delivered last night would be good enough to beat better opposition - simple answer no.

Way to busy enjoying a derby victory, shutting Grudge up, making the top 8 and condemning you lot to abject misery in the middle 8's.

Have fun won't you. From what I've seen this season whilst you lot can be destructive, but your equally prone to massive brain farts and losses, too many of those in the middle 8 and it might be a while before we see another derby.

Should kop a ban. Last night was all part of chesters masterplan to keep Radders in

Just re watched the game,how annoying is the 'get into him' man?,nearly as annoying as Phil Clarke..almost

No worse than larunner

I think the RFL should look at Puletua leading with the forearm into Rankin's face , Could have put Rankin out for the rest of the season .

Larroyar I'll give you. Watts was late and premeditated. Expect a ban.

Aren't all tackles premeditated??

Was marginally late but he did lead with his shoulder. I expect a game ban.......

His arm was by his side but it wasn't a textbook shoulder charge. He hit him pretty front on. I'd be surprised if he has a case to answer. He'll just get a warning about his technique. Worst case scenario, one match reduced to nothing with EGP.

This.

And it wasn't that late, either - he was clearly committed before Kelly released the ball.

It is considering some of the mythology built up by fellow posters regarding Uncle Peter.
He was never up to the job.
Radford may possibly yet turn out to be.

Someone on twitter has said today's crowd at Bradford today (just over 9k) was the highest crowd in 34 years outside the top division.

Didn't we get over 12k for a league 1 derby at the boulevard in the early 90's?

12,044 in 1997

Remember it well. I was so used to falling out of the supporters club at 3.10 and walking straight into the ground. Came out that day to see massive queues

Boll-cks

Nah, not really.
I had no dislike for PG just didn't think he had it in him.
Don't know if Lee has either but him and his team are giving it a good shot.
The trouble with you and others is that you don't actually want him to make it.
All a bit sad really.

I don't think anyone doesn't want him to make it, just that there are plenty who believe he won't make it and the longer he hangs around the worse things will be. agar got us into the top 6 but I don't think anyone looks back at those years with any great fondness

And others who aren't sure whether he'll ever be able to deliver but are gonna give him the opportunity and time to hopefully move us forward.
One spanking all year.
We've competed and shown effort in most games.
Fine lines Jake.
