"They were not charging at Bradman, they were charging at the solldiers"
 * Which is what they did the first time too. And when did I even hint at meaning they charged Bradman at any point? <-- This is a rethorical question.

"Bradman just so happens to appear again"
 * Which is what happened the first time too. They should have expected that taking the same course of action twice will likely end in the same result twice, but yet they were caught by surprise by it...
 * Caught by surprise twice from the very same circumstances... "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me."

"Plus we don't know what happened during the second day before Sabertooth and Blue Pegasus were defeated."
 * No we don't and we don't need to. What we've seen is plenty to see how stupid their actions in this chapter were. Unless they managed to beat Bradman and then were defeated and cruxified by another Spriggan there is literally no fact we could learn that would alleviate their stupidity in this chapter.

"And now with new allies joining in with new abilities in their Arsenal, things can be different."
 * That they bring new abilities and possibilities with them is all the more reason to give at least a general warning to them, so they have an actual chance to make a difference instead of dying in surprise attacks like they did and are doing again in this chapter... Just saying "Beware of the guy in the black cape and mask. He's really strong." would be a start or the aforementioned "If you see the Reaper, everyone attack him as quickly as possible with everything you have".

"Ridiculous as it may sound, fear of death doesn't mean you haven't learned anything thing,"
 * ... really now? You think I'm calling them idiots for fearing Bradman? Seriously? I'm calling them idiots for everything that happened BEFORE they met up with Bradman again.

"it shows that you understand the danger and show an appropriate response."
 * No they don't understand and they don't show the appropriate response. If they understood the danger, they wouldn't have charged in like berserkers. And an appropriate response would be to try to counter Bradman, not charging in without even considering the possibility of him appearing again.

Unless their "secret master plan" was to lure Bradman out by dangling themselves out as bait and hope the FT mages can defeat him... they are failures on the battlefield.
