why we are where we are : Fri Jul 03, 2009 10:51 pm  
Well poor recruitment but re tonight.................

There is no pace in the side. There are no dummy runners. There doesn,t seem any game plan.

We lost Castle after about 10 minutes which mean,t C Hill had to play practically all of the game.

They were so much better than us it,s sad.

Fax can,t even knock on properly and if a player fumbles invariably there,s a player in support to grab the ball before it hits the deck.They,d did drop some ball but when you throw it round like they did I,m not surprised.

I could name players who put in bad performances but in the main they tried but we aren,t within a sniff of Fax.

Well 5 games at home left and two away. Can we survive without being relegated?

It,s going to be hard unless we have a lot of luck.

As a 'Fax fan i thought Hill was outstanding for you tonight, at least he could hold his head up, unlike hobson who was a waste of a shirt that deserves respect. Personally i hope you stay up but you need to improve discipline to give yourselves a chance

Huge effort from Hilly last night. Don't think Castle's injury will have been helped having to walk unassisted from the dugouts to the changing rooms and back again.

IF LOVING FAX IS WRONG I DON'T WANT TO BE RIGHT

: Sat Jul 04, 2009 11:51 am  
As a Fax fan a couple of things struck me last night

1) Fax played nowhere near as well as in the NRC game a few weeks back but still ran up nearly 50

2) Despite conceding less points this time Leigh have visibly gone backwards since we last met. All three tries were gifts and the one move in the second half that deserved a try but didn't get one was the only high spot for the travelling fans.

Hate to say this but with Gateshead, Batley and Sheffield all going well I fear the worst for you. I really hope you can find enough to stay up. Leigh being in the third tier of RL is an awful thought for the game as a whole. Great club, fans and ground.

Leigh haven't spent huge money and have decent crowds so where is it all going wrong?

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Not really sure what your club's finances are like. What I meant was spending huge sums on players and gambling on getting into SL and then paying the price later. In football its called doing a Leeds United!

Don't want to be too negative but has anyone thought that who do we turn to if Millward can't turn things around ? Benson, Kelly, now Millward.....there is only Terzis after that should Millward struggle. We are running out of saviours...... :lol:
