I wouldn't say it is must win game but we definitely need to see an improved performance after Sunday's non-starter against the Knights.

I think it's difficult to compare the 2 teams results because Widnes have had an easier opening few rounds. We've played what some have predicted to be 4 of the top 5 teams in the League (Toulouse, Fev, Wakefield & Halifax) and won 3 out of 4. Widnes have played 2 potential top 5 teams and only beaten 1 of them (Halifax). Their other victories have come against teams that probably won't challenge for the top 5 (Swinton, Dewsbury & Barrow).

In the Cup game earlier this year we were atrocious and Widnes did the simple things well and won the game. We started well on Sunday against York and then fell asleep. We gave York far too much territory and field position and lost all the momentum we'd generated over the last 3 games.

I hope we see the return of Scurr & Smith in the pack which would be a huge boost. Butler, Fulton and Hallas all sound like they will be missing after picking up knocks/HIA's during the York game so we are looking slim in that department.

I also felt that we got bullied by the York forwards and we know that Widnes will have one rather rotund forward looking to skittle some of our defenders. Our pack has to be big, aggressive and willing to take no backward step on Sunday. I'd like to see a pack of Smith, Doro, Rodgers and Scurr if all are fit and ready to play. Baldwinson cannot be too far away from returning too.

Somebody who claims to be 'in the know' stated that Tom Holmes isn't too far away from returning as well which will be a huge boost!

Pretty frustrating afternoon. Did alot right after a poor first 20 minutes and probably the better side performance wise over the 80 minutes.

We find ourselves 7 points ahead and give away possession with incorrect play the ball and a ball steal on halfway - absolute coach killers. Not helped by officials who seemed unable to spot a forward pass unless it came out of a Bradford hand - but we know what we get from that ref so the players have to do better.

Bit of pressure on the Swinton game now, losing 3 on the bounce would be massively disappointing. Hopefully a few bodies fit again as the constant changes in personnel doesn't help.

Yeah we mucked that one up completely. Missed our leaders today. Last 10mins should serve as the perfect example of how not to see a game out.

Bright spots were Doro who was immense, Blackmore, Scurr and Souter. Not sure how Lilley got man of the match think they were watching a different game.

Was a bit flummoxed by our use of subs. Okoro barely played, same for Peposhi and Ott. We were outplayed in the first 30mins and it took the introduction of Souter, Appo and Scurr for us to get some go forward.

Rogers looks about a stone too heavy and it's reduced his effectiveness, he's not the player he was at the end of last season.

Our kicking game was crap again today apart from the chip for the Holmes try from Lilley. We're really missing Gaskell in the dept.

Nice to see Holmes back and Scurr.

Typical Bradford thinking they are the dogs dangles after 3 wins only to get shown up in games they should have won 3 wins should have been 5.

Don't really see our performances vs York and Widnes as being down to complacency. Think it's more down to ability and lack of experience in key positions. We've missed our experienced players who've been out injured and it really showed today when we had a 7 point winning margin with less than 10 mins to go and blew it.

Agree Bullseye. I think yesterday showed how much we missed the likes of Lawrence. He gets some unfair stick for maybe not being as explosive as a Scurr or Doro, but I don't think we'd have lost yesterday if we had him on the field.
