Unbelievable reading this, you lose a friendly 30-12 and your seasons over, get a grip for feks sake

I agree! Jesus Christ! Sometimes I come on here a read comments and then wonder if I've been watching the same game!

Neither side were good. Fev were slightly better.

Fax started well and scored, Fev then got loads of ball due to our indiscipline and got a few nice bounces of the ball out wide - one resulting in a try.

Second half was a bit of a none event until the fight.

Fev scored late on to make it look convincing.

Get a grip!

I didn't go to the game so can't comment on that. What does amaze me is the negative comments that ''supporters'' put on after one loss in a friendly. Get rid of the coach, we are going to be lucky if we finish 5th, the half backs are no good etc.Even supporters from other clubs in our league are more complimentary about Fax than some Fax ''supporters!''
We haven't even kicked a meaningful ball in anger yet and we are ready doomed!
The whole idea of friendlies is to let the coaching staff have alook at ALL the squad and also let the lads have a run out to get used to the bumps n bruises again before the season starts properly on Feb 16.
Cut the team some slack please and let's see where we are at the end of the season before we take stock.

At the end of the season Fax will be in the mix the better weather hard ground and 17 fit players will make a difference.

Yes you are right, and against Leigh it will be get Barlow,
Any chance of creative thinking?
Most teams know how to nullify us,
I'm sorry, But I am so disapointed after today, but hey, looking forward to Leigh?

I have to say I have not been an admirer of Sam Barlow over the years as he strikes me as a liability in attack and defence and I was not overly bothered that we signed him but in his defence he looked like a different player, leaner, quicker, fitter and he actually looked like a he has grown up a bit, no messing at the PTB and not one stupid offload.

I hope its a case of maturing, coaching and mentality rather than this coming back and biting me on the bum, I was suitably impressed!

Im sure he will be targeted though!

http://therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/misconduct Manning charged for what looks like defending himself against about 3 Fev Players. Josh Sunley charged for Fev(the cheap shotting ginger?, I thought Ellis was 9 but no charge?
