| Its the constant lack of smartness that annoys me.
Its simple stuff and I am not sure how much of it you can blame on the coach. I think agar's tactics are boring at best but he can't be blamed for the players refusing to challenge for high balls, or forcing way too many passes. I also believe he doesn't coach them to make that many mistakes during a simple task like playing the ball.
The areas where I would challenge Agar is his recruitment, they were players out there to be signed look at Bradford who have brought in over 10 new faces. The lack of structure in the team, I don't think anyone really knows what they need to be doing when we have the ball. As soon as we lose momentum in a game we never manage to gain it back and when we do its usually far too late.
We won't be challenging ( we knew that anyway TBF) so it was nice to see a few of the younger members of the team have good games (Moa, Turner and Houghton). I believe we will be better then what we showed today but its still too far away from where a club like this deserves to be.

But they'll also include at least 2 sloppy penalties and probably a few missed tackles. I'd just sooner have him at full effectiveness for 40 minutes than 20 and a middling 60.

| I know a few bradford fans through work. All are saying that since Potter came in, the way the teams plays has altered dramatically. The lines the players are running, mean that they can create and, look like they are worth watching. I know they lost today, but they look like a creative side that is going to kick on.
We have had the opportunity to try and play some rugby, to try and improve tactically, but we look the same old disheveled mess. I think that we should let Webster organise the attacking side of our gameplan, at least to shake things up. We are way too one dimensional. Bradford appoint Potter and they look a different proposition.
