Eagles intensity from 1 to 13 from the start was a level or even 2 above us today and has been typical of they way Fax have approached the last half dozen or so games.
Everything that could do wrong we did, penalty after penalty, kicking out on the full, not finding touch from a penalty kick etc etc.
Last game for a few of them and there are 2 or 3 lined up as replacements, any more than that will depend on how much money we get from income streams.
This is a dilemma, season ticket sales for example need to be high but with how this year has gone many will be thinking is it worth it and you can't blame us but it will just add to the problem, so do we dip in our pockets again or not??????? Still thinking about this one.

Aye, the Jekylls turned up. Last week it was the Hydes.

As the title says a fitting end to a dreadful season. I like so many others had such high hopes at the beginning of the season but I am actually glad it is over now. Unfortunately the success of last season seems to have gone to RMs head and I have heard all the same things everyone else has heard - arrogant, doesn't listen, favours half the squad and ignores the other half, players don't really know what he wants....and generally Fax has been a very unhappy place to work and play. He needs to give his head a good shake and learn from this season and learn some man management skills and listen to the other coaching staff ( if they are still here next year ) Unless he sorts himself out, it doesn't matter who we recruit for next year we will get the same result. To be honest the new recruits don't look particularly promising, we are just replacing like for like imo so it needs to be a change in leadership style that will make the difference. I am not sure where all the money has gone either - I also hear we are skint. Surely the reserves hasn't cost £450k ?

When the news broke about RMs new contract i was the only negative contributor initially,don't think i'm in the minority now....

Problem many of you have is that your squad (and Marshall) are nowhere near as good as you were claiming at the start of the season. TBH you were pretty mediocre for much of last season too, but a combination of a mini Fev implosion (just before Hay's departure) and a stomach bug in the Fev camp during the week before the game at PO Rd gave you a top 4 finish. A purple patch of form in the middle 8s (together with a slump in that of the other Champ clubs) further helped to bolster the illusion.........

In other news we put a man on the moon.

Stomach bug? I thought we finished about 6 points clear of Fev in 5th place last season or did I just dream that?

Re: A fitting end. : Mon Sep 26, 2016 2:17 pm  

Our start last season wasn't great, but I hardly think winning the last 9 games to be "mediocre". And yes, we were clear by 6 points (and 201 points difference) of Fev in 5th. Only Leigh had a better defence than Fax last year, and tbh it's probably the hundred or so extra points we've conceded this time round that was our downfall.

Our goal line defence was so much better last year when the players seemed to be playing for each other but this season a team only had to look at our line to score.

A demoralising end of Season am i the only one concerned about the Match Programme as well going from 48 to 28 Pages for the last 3 Games if my Maths are correct a 41.66% drop therefore the Price should have been about £ 1.25 are we that desperate for money?

Re: A fitting end. : Tue Sep 27, 2016 10:33 am
