Sportinglife.com still has us 3rd with Donny still behind us with a 3 point penalty.
Keep your fingers crossed the RFL might read Sporting Life.

We got beat by the better team we were too slow at the play the ball yet again and despite two sets of 6 on their line in the first half we could not get over the whitewash, we have no ideas and no moves. We did score one decent try and for once looked better on the wings but when an old man like Cooke shows and goes taking 3 men over the line with him that's poor.
I just want this season over now, the worrying thing is next year its even tougher and I fear we have been left behind, if the club keep Karl I worry the club will go bust I really do and yes I blame the Board this time for sticking with a coach who plainly has no ide how to coach a good team, he tinkers week in week out like where was Johnson today?
Worried, very worried about the clubs future something has to change and quick!

Injured I believe.
Was sat behind us before play started and then he walked over to the changing room side just before kick off. Seemed to be limping.

Nigle,

After the game I remarked to Charlie and Bentleyman that even I couldn'tfind a positive to post.
I went with Neil's Magical Mystery Coach, mind you come to think about it you're weren't far wrong.
Again. I say, no positives and whilst very much looking forward to next Sunday. I feel we may struggle then as well.one second thoughts there was a positive, got to speak to Charlie, Salfordlad and Bentleyman.
Charlie and Salfordlad, Leigh supporters cheating with Fax supporters and. Donny supporters now that is a positive.
One of which you would never find at your sport.
Keep them coming Nigle, keep them coming.

John it was good to see you again though I do understand your frustration at Fax as a Team , I watched the game with a Nuetral view ,and thought Fax didn't have the urgency in their play , for the first half , then after getting back into the Game they allowed Donny and in particular Cooke to work a few moves , run in open play , and then win the game , I wouldn't blame ref Joe Cobb either , the Fax fans were calling offside a lot , but he was the same for both teams , I thought your Halves had quiet games and the Forwards didn't boss the game , although Tonks ran very hard .

It was also nice to see Bentleyman , who took me on a route march round Donny , we seemed to walk further than the Jarrow marchers , and nice to meet Hudd-Shay and Mrs Hudd-Shay and a few other great Fax fans , and a few other familiar faces in the Stand .John as you keep saying it aint over yet , but I feel Fax will have to improve to go anywhere in the play-offs .Charlie knows , even if Hudd - Shay says I know nowt .

I didn't go today, didn't have anything else to do, just sat in garden and did nothing. I didn't even consider going as I knew we would loose, just as I knew we would last week. In Callands last season I went to every game except 1. Don't think I will be getting a season ticket at this rate, would rather pick and choose my games next year.

Re: Donny score : Sun Aug 31, 2014 8:31 pm  

Charles has hit the nail on the head - "no urgency". What circumstances bring about that state of mind in players at this stage of the season? Nerves? Fear? Contracts? Where are their heads at??? They can play much better than they have this season. I can only conclude that it's the situation with the training facilities and the coach. We have lost the momentum of 2010-12. As there is virtually no communication coming from the BOD I feel a long period of decline is about to engulf our club.

I was with you until the 3rd paragraph Joan. Then it made no sense which is what we've all come to expect throughout this dire season.

Re: Donny score : Sun Aug 31, 2014 9:02 pm  

Very depressed after today.

No urgency, no desire.

The try just before half time summed it up. A break down the left, but the player who scored had run across the field from the other wing. Where was our corresponding winger? Flaming stood watching 60 yards away...

Donny announced a "special" offer on season tickets for fans turning up next Sunday. I'm probably talking out of turn, but attention seems to be focused so much on the 200 or so folks on VIP and dining arrangements (true and stalwart fans most of them are, undoubtedly), that the club are forgetting that they only form a small part of the whole in terms of Fax support. Out in numbers again (ratio looked to be 2:1 in a 900+ crowd), but the faith is wearing very thin...

The " no urgency " was there for all to see in the dyeing minutes of the Fev` game , players stood about while a scrum was being made , fans were screaming at the players to join the scrum as they could have tried for a bonus point .Some players just stood about for ages , didn`t this happen twice as well I just felt that was inexcusable to be honest.
