We were they better team, who got the points,?
How do we turn a better team into a winning team?
Half backs?
Strange substitution half way though the first half, taking three off, seemed to lose our momentum.
We were well placed then.

Unfortunately London's kicking game was better than ours and they capitalised on our mistakes, scoring some soft tries. I was impressed by our willingness to move the ball but thought we over complicated at times. Defence was good for most of the game but a bit weak in the first half when close to our line. Scored three good tries and much to applaud but I am sure that this was 2 points lost by Fax rather than London winning 2 points. Disappointed

I think thats probably the most disappointing result I have experienced in quite a while. A typical snatching defeat from the jaws of victory game, for anyone who didnt go wait till you see Londons last two tries, almost comedy gold by us. We started slack, dropping the ball from the kick off and letting them in for a soft try and them pretty much battered them for the rest of the game. If someone were to watch the game and did not see the tries then they would think that we won the game easily. Sadly you could say that about all the games we have lost this season, we seem to be creating chances but either pick the wrong pass or the execution is off.

To be fair to us the game totally changed on a bad decision by the touch judge when we were 12-6 up and it let London back in the game before half time when we were well on top. All that said if I were RM I would be on the phone to Gaz Moore's agent on Monday asking how much he wants to leave Fev. We are leaving ourselves too much to do to make the top 4 and as I said before I cant see Sheffield or Fev going to London and losing as they were simply average at best.

Like Gregg I am very disappointed, so I think I will l leave my assessment until tomorrow and I may have brightened up.
Meanwhile, a good day out, on this occasion went by car, my preferred mode of transport to away games is Neil's Magical Mystery Family Fun Bus a good bit of fun and I often win the raffle, saw a few faces who had used it, was it full and did you all have a great day?
Just under 800 there, how many do we reckon were Yorkies v Smokers, I would say 300 v 500?
Opinions.
Great to meet Wilf George in Spoons at Stanmore, looked as though he could have played for us, mind you it was easy to tell he is now a ref, wears spectacles.
On the down side, no chips, NO CHIPS?
Beefy drink £2, £2?
Burger or hotdog £4, £4?
The worlds gone mad.
Tidy ground though.
For what it's worth my opinion tomorrow.
Until then, oxo drink 0% MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm double bill Coronation St.
Int life brilliant.

According to Flea on the Town site the crowd was 780 Smokers Vs 20 Yorkies. Not sure who fed him his misinformation but

Thanks. Turns out I was right as well, we really should have won it at a canter once we hit the front. We seem to be good at finding the self destruct button.

Re: London Game Live Updates : Mon Mar 30, 2015 9:49 pm  

Just got back this afternoon after a long weekend down the Smoke, good trip on the Grand Central train and nice time was had apart from the result!
As others have said we should have won and we made some errors that got punished, their winning try came from a lose pass and their third try came from a lucky bounce of the ball in fact watch the highlights it was freaky the way it bounced.
Come on we played full time team on their own pitch and nearly won, I agree our kicking game is still poor too many kicks going straight into the opponents hands, I also agree the rule on kicks that go dead from being kicked in your own half should be ball back from where the ball was kicked from, come on they were not aiming to kick it dead they got it wrong and the wind took it out of play.
Big shame lets see how we go at Bradford, its going to be tough but if we can get anywhere near them I will be happy.
