I'm not moaning and pointed out we in last 8 of CC and top of league.

I'm just saying that potter should be giving time to put his mark on this team that is in process of being rebuilt.

What we don't need is fans booing and saying sack potter evdrytime we lose.
I'm sure we will lose few more yet but potter will make saints the force we was 3 year ago.

There's only Saint From Prestwich who does that!

In regard to our ball control, the amount of dropped ball we've had this year has contributed to our lack of structure in defence, added to that, we've also had a drop in the intensity during some games.

There maybe a number of reasons for the lack of ball retention, I think some of the lines the players are running are all over the show at times (for a period against Bradford it was particularly poor), we've also had two key players in Cunningham and Long off form. Some of their passing has been atrocious at times and this has shown with players having to take balls flying over their heads or aimed at their feet. They aren't the only two, but given their roles it's far more obvious, and costly, when their passes are bad.

I think it's harsh to suggest the players look disinterested.

Yes, our defence and our ball control has slipped somewhat over the last few weeks, but I think this is in large part down to the fact that we are playing with a depleted front row. We're struggling to get the kind of go forward that gives players like Long the time to make good decisions and execute plays properly, and this is putting us under pressure.

The period in which we've been struggling a bit - since we beat Wigan at the JJB - is exactly the same period in which Cayless has been out injured. Not a coincidence, I think.

I agree. Our go forward is poor. That's why I think tony p has to play prop along with graham.

Teams know if they can get us in our own half we will have big problems gettin out of our be it with drives or a kick.

Your kicking game at times on saturday was superb! credit should go to catalans, Fakir went off not to return and Pelo went straight down the tunnel into an ambulance with one of the worst looking injuries i've seen in a long time!

I believe a report is going in abot the refereeing performance, I've seen the locals get upset before, but nothing matches how upset they were on saturday! At times Bentham pulled decisions out of his @r$e. And this is me being calm now after Saturday night!

shut up, for the record, I videoed him leaving the field as I knew some people who werent there would try and say something bad about the supporters, yes, they voiced their opinion but there is now a tunnel that the players and officials walk under, the supporters couldn't get near him to stub a cigarette out on him!

people like you should attend the game before commenting!!
