I think there is very likely to be some suspensions coming our way from yesterday so the damage isn't only limited to that game.

If a couple from our pack have to sit a game or two out it may cost us.
Robbo is still a few weeks off and will need to get some fitness back again even when he is cleared to play and apart from young Sam Brookes we haven't got a lot of cover.

But these are tactics which win games. These are tactics that are beyond our coach it would seem. It's no good saying "they came to slow us down" or "they disrupted the game by fighting". The only synopsis that matters is how the scoreboard reads after 80 minutes. You have to plan for coaches like Paul Rowley and Mark Aston. if you don't, they end up being better coaches than you.

Agree with this absolutly and we havn`t even mentioned how much of a lift the "water carrier " and physio were to their team .He was constantly coming on doing nothing only coaching , physio too coming on to give some of the lads a breather .It`s all part of gamesmanship and we may not like it but you have to have a plan to overide it , the water carrier was shameless , he didn`t care when he was told re` his behaviour by people on the touchline.These are all things that go on in games unfortunatly
Our lads looked a bit shellshocked second half `cos they were stopped from playing ,there were at least 2 of Leighs tries should never have been given but at the end of the day you just have to get stuck in and deal with it .I was disapointed yesterday as I saw quite a few of past supporters who came along that I havn`t seen for a while I hope it hasn`t put them off.

I said at the time, two minutes to go before half time, on the last tackle go for the one pointer. 25v0 at half time and we would not have lost that game.

Been racking my brains and don't think I have ever come away from the Shay feeling so let down, disapointed and quite frankly ripped off, possibily the worst £15 I have spent in a long time.

Looking through this conversation we blame Sam Barlow starting bother, Tommy & his gang been idiots in the south stand and the referee's poor decisions, which are all quite frankly true, but they did not miss the tackles or give the game away - credit to leigh, fantastic effort.

I share a similar feeling to most fans that KH is a club legend and a great bloke, but not the right man no more, apart from some strange decisions he still not to blame for yesterday, some of the players are.

Several good performances from the normal blokes, Ambler, Fieldy, Brackek, Tyrer, divo & Manning but the rest were very poor and dont look anywhere near fit enough, really cant see what anyone see's in Callum Casey, why does he keep getting a game?

Debating spending my £15 money elsewhere from now on as apart from loyalty nothing brings me back week in, week out.

I thought Tommy Saxton put in a really good shift and was lucky to come away with both ears left on with some of the treatment he was getting.

Potts didn't get much of a chance to run but looked strong even against their forwards when he came inside to take the ball up, they struggled to get him down.

Agree with Casey, I want him to do well but just doesn't have enough impact for me.
Might have been better moving Heaton up into the forwards from the bench instead of Casey and giving Rettie a game in the backs.
Always wise after the event of course.

Waste of £15?
Come on it was terrific entertainment although hugely disappointing as a Fax fan obviously but it had it all, one team ripping it up one half then the other the second half with a sending off, two fights and 4 sin binning's, what more do you want (Fax winning apart)?
We were competing with a team built by spending big bucks and could have beaten them with a bit more luck and composure.
Don't confuse a bad result with a poor game please.

Re: Not good enough : Mon Apr 14, 2014 3:28 pm  

How many head tackles did Tonks perform ,more than a few ,a really enjoyable second half from my team ,but a poor first half ,we were ripped to pieces, also pleased to see Baby Fieldhouse given a bit of his own medicine after Armstrong scored to put us in the lead, after his childish antics when scoring in the first half got what He deserved.

That sounds like Tommy he's no thug , like his drink but he doesn't fight, he lost his teeth at Fev a couple year back when they kicked off with us on their car park .

he lost his teeth when he went up and threatened my m8 who was stood with his girlfriend outside the minibus, big mistake the lads got a punch like Tyson, seems he hasnt learnt his lesson

Re: Not good enough : Mon Apr 14, 2014 4:14 pm  

I think the Leythers are making a big deal out of Ryan Fieldhouses gesture, ill advised as it was and not something I want to see from any player but its not like Ryan, maybe its his Leigh connections?
Anyway it was not that bad come on.

how many head shots did tonks do?! about a tenth of the total number of punches/swinging arms the whole leigh team dished out throughout the whole game. there'll be some black eyes in our dressing room after that game for sure. dirty play
