Colin couldn't agree more. My fear is the club is currently held together by selotape and some of the emails I've had from the club as a fan are disgraceful. I think wholesale changes are required across the whole club as the environment currently is not great. Purely my opinion but saying that I know lots of people feel the same. We feel like a club in crisis yet nothing changes ever. I certainly have no confidence in the people running the club. Feels like a jolly boys club rather than a professionally run outfit.

Thanks Gregg for starting this thread, some people have posted about today's game on different threads.
I was very disappointed.
We seem to have no game plan, and team selection seems strange to me.
As someone has said on the other thread Robbo and Scott missing, yes we know, but surely we should have a strong enough squad to over come that.
As usual the forwards worked hard, no creativity at half back and two wingers who want to either be first receiver and get nowhere or cut back into the middle.
As regular readers will know, I wear rose tinted glasses with my head buried under the sand, but, not today, hugely disappointed.
I have no idea what it takes to be a coach, nor a director of a Rugby club but I do think we as a club need more creative thinking.
Both on the field and off.
Just my opinion, often wrong seldom right.

Cmon John , you and Fax fans like you ie ,Bentleyman , Littlerich , Swifty , and the Duchys , are the heartbeat of the Fax forum , the team need your support , you are all great fans , maybe sometimes looking through Rose tinted specs but don't we all ?Its not over for you yet , I rate your team , ive said every team will lose a game you wouldn't think they would , it happens .Some Leigh fans are saying we will go through the Season unbeaten IT WONT HAPPEN , someone will beat us more than once , we will have a bad day , we all do , dust yourselves down get ready for the NW Crusaders next week , im predicting a WIN for you there .

To take 8/9 points away from Cumbria is a good effort that most teams will struggle to do. If we beat Fev at home, donny and Sheffield which we are more than capable of doing well get 2nd. There's a lot more twists and turns yet before the end of the year.

It's such a shame that majority look at the negatives.

Re: Workington V Fax : Mon May 05, 2014 9:27 am  

Simfax, please tell me the positives that you see this year then. I will then raise you with the negatives and deafening silence that comes front the club. Drawing to 11th in the table seems acceptable to some.

Bastian will be sacked in the next few weeks at Fev, because the board have ambition and know when enough is enough. We had Faisal here and he left for Fev, why ?.

We have/had Abbott here, can't buy the shay and then we hear nothing at all. It's woefull, especially from a man who apparently made his money from a successful marketing company.

I totally agree Teddy , the season is far from over for Fax , the 2nd spot is there for you , Fev for me will struggle their pack is very depleted , morale at Coach level very low , the Fev fans said Bastion would be on his way this morning if they lost to us we shall see on that point .The seagulls squad is not big enough for me , Bat and Dews are no threat , leaving only Donny , im not sure about them , I AM sure about Fax though and feel you will come good , I had a feeling about your Worky game , but I think you will improve as the season goes on . Good Luck .

I can understand your frustration at the present time , but no team has a divine right to turn up and win , you say drawing to the 11th in the table,as if it was a failure , maybe Worky played well ?I don't know , I do feel we at Leigh will lose a game this season that nobody expected us to lose , it happens .As for a Clubs ambition I saw at first hand at the Leigh game recently the amount of hard work and effort the Marketing Team and Directors are putting in , a great match day experience , I think the problem lies with your coach , im not saying get rid , but do the players truly want to play for him ?We need a strong Fax team in this League , I for one truly hope you turn the corner very soon , I think you will .

Sorry mate and I admire your positivity I really do. However the Cumbrian sides this year are pretty poor and 3 wins is a must for club who allegedly have top 2 ambition. It's fans like you that let the club off the hook by playing spin doctor, looking to find positives when a radical shake up is required. I understand you wanting to be postive and many say I'm too negative. I just say what I see as you do and we all want the same thing. However we have a coach who has taken us backwards, crowds are declining, marketing is non existent and the club seems out of touch with its fans. That to me is a travesty...... I agree the league is more competitive but you only need look at Worky's results lately to see we should be beating these sides. The decision to let Brown go after a half gets injured and a month KH must have had an idea Murrells missus was giving birth just shows what a clown we have for a coach. You build a squad to cope with injuries, suspensions etc yet we will get all the excuses going..... I fear the direction we are being taken in and can't see us beating Rochdale or Donny or Dewsbury for that matter away from home based on current and previous seasons under KH. Mediocrity should not be an option we should settle for.

Positives for me,
Tonks in super form. Tyrer back to his best. Potts and cowling look class. We have in Ben J one of the most exciting players outside of SL genes him getting player of the month in April. Keith Holden getting a chance at last. Competition for places in the team. We are half way through the season with allot play for, we have some big games against the teams around us in the league, if we win more than we lose well finish 2nd.

I agree that the crowds are poor currently and that the club have to be seen to do more to improve this.

On the whole i can't see any reason to be pressing the panic button.

Think positive. There's only Leigh who are at the minute way in front in terms of performance and we should have beaten them! If we'd have won that game I think the attitudes on here would be a lot different.

Re: Workington V Fax : Mon May 05, 2014 12:37 pm  

Bastian was/is Fev's version of David Moyes. Difference being they've acted before its too late for this season. Yet were stuck with KH , what does that tell you? No ambition, no finances? Not sure but our Board should have acted by now but they either can't or won't which either way is not good enough.
