After the drubbing in France, we're following up with a very difficult game in West Yorkshire.
Bradford's last six games:
16th June: Whitehaven (A) Won 36-16
2nd June: Barrow (H) Won 36-24
25th May: Batley (A) Lost 21-20
19th May: Sheffield (H) Won 28-10
5th May: Swinton (A) Won 38-12
28th April: Widnes (H) Lost 14-13
Bradford have scored 171 whilst conceding 99. That's an average FOR of 28.5 per match, with 16.5 AGAINST.
Perhaps we can take some hope that Batley beat them but the size of their wins over Whitehaven and Sheffield suggest we're up against it.
We need a serious improvement on our last match, where we were dominated across the park. If Faraimo and Briscoe are back, it'll help. I wonder how far off Reece Lyne is? I thought Greg Burns was our best player in France.
I wonder if we will bring some players in, as mentioned by K&C? We could do with something to give us a boost.
I can't help but think the next game at Featherstone is a must win match. We can't afford for teams like Swinton to beat us 'at home'. If we don't win at Bradford, we need to get some confidence and self-belief back before the Swinton game.
Bookmakers prediction v Bradford: Dons to be getting 20 points start (but this could change depending on who is in our side).
At half-time, I thought it was going to be worse than it ended up.
The key games are the ones against the teams in and around us. We're 11th of 14 with 9 points. Swinton are 12th with 8 points, Halifax are 13th with 8 points and Dewsbury are bottom with 2 points.
If we lose to Swinton and Halifax beat Whitehaven, we'll only have Dewsbury beneath us.
We're halfway through the season after next weekend but we will have played 8 at home and only 5 away.
Things will not be looking good is we lose against Swinton.
The interview afterwards from our coach makes my blood boil! Training ground blah stop giving penalties away blah keep giving messages to the lads blah, copy, paste and repeat with what's been said from the last 4 games, if club doncaster don't act soon we can all enjoy cornwall again next season.
