Quick turnaround as we head into the local derby with Halifax on Good Friday. Will the Bulls be crucified or are we expecting a resurrection.

Everything points to being crucified. We struggle against Fax anyway, but with a 5 day turnaround while they've a week off, I can't see us getting a win.

Fax by 30 at least.

I'm pretty sure that any Bradford fan that goes on Friday will be saying "Jesus Christ" a lot, but possibly not in the way the big fella intended.

Why the hell did I pre buy for this massacre. Can’t even get ed as I’m taking the young un.

Oh you'll be vexed alright.

George Flanagan added to the mounting injury list. He broke his thumb yesterday.

It's a train wreck, you know you a shouldn't watch but .....

Fax by 20 on the pitch and by 2:1 fan ratio on the terraces.

I'm seriously considering not bothering with this one. Sick of players turning up half bothered and us playing boring rugby. If we give 100% I can't complain but we're just not doing that at the moment.

I reckon we'll see a reaction to the Barrow debacle but it'll just paper over the cracks.

This has been the problem for a number of years. I know Kear said after the Batley game he wanted to achieve with this club and be contenders. Sadly it doesn't look like the players want it.

We'll turn up against Fax and be much improved. But it's not good enough. This was a crucial game. Barrow had their best player out, were away from home yet comfortably out-played us.

We should have come out firing, we're at home, this is our ground, we want to cement our place in the play-offs. Rip into them! How can they not be motivated for that game. It shouldn't take soul searching after a loss to constantly get motivated.

Mustapha, O'Connor and Tindall all in the Leeds squad for their game. Can't see us getting them given that Leeds will want to make full use of the squad over Easter.

Leaves us right down to the bare bones. With injury doubts over Patton, Lilley and Ben Evans and Rhys Evans, Flanagan, Walker, Scott and Fleming all out.

Fitness permitting I'd go with this:

Hall
Dawson Jones
Kear
Gill
Miller/DFJ
Patton
Lilley
Baldwinson
Doyle
Scurr
Murphy
England
Evans

Crossley
Wallace
Jowitt
Kibula

Corey Johnson not in Leeds team so maybe on bench as replacement hooker. Having said that Doyle has been playing 80 mins at hooker or loose forward.
