I feel exactly the same. It isn't fun anymore.

But then when we were "billy big balls" in SL, winning stuff by cheating the salary cap, I imagine the lower teams in that league felt the same.

Do you think we won by cheating the cap? Or that we won AND broke the cap?

I m kinda hoping we get battered. Surely it would force JK to look at what the issues truly are and possible make him think being hope with the Mrs is better than copping a flogging week in week out.

Weather looking ominous for Sunday.

Is it really a 'must win'? In what sense? Surely you saw enough last night to know that any hopes of promotion are futile. This league is completely busted and things aren't going to change any time soon. My hat goes off to anyone still bothering to turn up to games because I'm just completely apathetic towards it all now. This league will never be a level playing field.

I see it as a must win in terms of ensuring people retain at least a partial interest in going to games. If we're not going to dig in and get a win at home to Barrow then why should the casual fan bother turning up?

I agree that we've no chance of going up but I don't think anyone has suggested it's anything other than a two horse race.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's postponed given the amount of rain forecasted.

Agreed. Just because we're not as strong as the top two doesn't mean we should take our bat and ball home and give up. Fev have built their squad over a number of seasons. We need to be consistently a play-off team in this league, for financial as well as moral around the club. So I see this as a must win also as the season could unravel and we've another rebuild/clear out.

Got to admit after the Sheffield performance and the second half at Leigh, plus Sunday's weather forecast, I'm struggling to find the will to buy a £20 ticket to get soaked again watching another disappointing display

Bollox to standing in the open for this one - it's the stand for me. I think everyone that remained stood in the open for the game vs Sheffield deserves a Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Well we did, at the cost of one buggered umbrella. I just can't bear the thought of paying even more to sit down to watch Championship rugby.

We transferred. For an extra £2 it was worth it at the time. I've not seen weather like that in many a year.

Re: Barrow (H) : Thu Feb 17, 2022 2:42 pm  

If we go behind to Barrow i dont think we will come back and win.

The middle unit is soft, over weight and shows no fight or desire to get stuck in when the going gets tough.

Hoping Kibula and Scurr are back in as a minimum. I dont think anyone could complain if they were dropped for Flemming either to be honest and thats really scraping the barrel.

Think this game is too early for Mustapha unfortunately
