Todays Game : Sun Feb 26, 2017 6:43 pm  

Ground out a good win against a decent side today.
Goal line d was much better as Rochdale threw a lot at us.
Back 3 of Will Rob and Salty looks settled.
Muzza's kicking game was very good today and pushed us around the park well.
Real shame about O'Brien picking up a shoulder injury near end of the game though. He has made such a difference to our game.Good to see Ben kaye back though
Still got Grady to come back in to beef up our forwards.
Crowd announced at around 850 I think.
Sixth in the table now.

Great result for you lot today. Rochdale looked a decent side when we went over there last week so I expected them to turn you over.

I'm revising my top 4 every week, and I expect you to make it this year. Hope so anyway, great club with smashing fans. Good luck for the rest of the season and hope to see you over at ours in 4 weeks time.

Thanks it was a good win as they are a good team, they play a fast game and use the ball well. We are still lacking in our half backs and are too slow at the play the ball, if we keep Adam O'Brien longer we may push for 4th but right now 5th or 6th is the best for us.

Just asking the question, was Rochdale's discipline much worse than 'Fax s or have the Blue n White finally seen the light and stopped giving free ground and another set of six?

Good result, Cosmo on the Fax

In general,much improved.Although we got penalised again for mouthing off when in possession,Barber i think,which is unforgivable.

A pretty decent performance against a team where they will do well at home so can't really complain. Our defence was good for the most part after the first sloppy play and it made a nice change been on the right side of a poor refereeing performance as well. Lets not get carried away though, both teams we have beat will be at the wrong end of the table come the end of the season but they will both take scalps so in that sense they are games you have to win. At the moment it looks like it will be a straight shoot out between us and Batley for 4th place so we really need to reverse the result against us.

I thought Murrell's kicking game was superb and he took us around the filed well. Sharp looks very good at full back and tackled well and offers more in attack in open play than Robinson or Johnston, hopefully that puts that experiment to bed now with Murrell and Johnston looking settled at HB.

Think we'll be in a lot of tight games this season and must take the 2s on offer,particularly as we seem utterly clueless taking on a set line from 20m out.

Re: Todays Game : Mon Feb 27, 2017 3:01 pm  

A decent win yesterday, I thought. A dour 1st half was followed by a dominant 2nd and I never really thought we were in danger of losing. Rochdale had a couple of good half backs with quick play the balls, but on the back of Murrell's kicking we looked comfortable. Bring on le frogs!

Agreed.

It was BK who gave the penalty away, let's hope we cut it out before it costs us dearly

Don't worry, he's beaten himself up for it so I doubt that will happen again
