Not a pretty game but London fans really have to be more vocal.The Linesmen running along the line were virtually getting told by Fev fans what to do.The one in the second half on the stand side was even laughing when the fev fans were talking to him.Having said that, how the Featherstone second try was given I do not know considering the linesman was right there.It was a blatant knock on.
But two points are not to be sniffed at.Not the best game but we are grinding out results.

Best start to a season for a long while. COYB!

Re: Squad for Featherstone : Mon Mar 28, 2016 6:29 pm  

Well, another game we have won without firing properly and making far too many errors and at least in first half too many penalties given away.....

But 2nd half much better, less errors, and again they did not let heads go down when behind. Fev's goalline def was the best I have seen this season, so its 2 more points and another game won which last season we would have lost...

We are 6 points better when you consider like fixtures from last season, and as I think 15-16 wins will get us into the top 4 its now starting to look possible (fax beating bradford also helps).

Need to win next 2, and then we will be really set up for 2nd half of the regular fixtures.

Which game were you at brian, it was dry as a bone the whole game.
Thought the first half we were poor, the penalty count was absolutely shocking and all deserved, we really do need to be smarter in that area if the game. If we sorted the penalties out we would be winning games by another 2 or 3 scores.
On the plus side we didn't give the game up, but have to say the first team that scored in that second half was always going to go on and win.
Another 2 points in the bag though and I seriously think we have lots more to give. Mark lionne had a massive game I think making the fever fwds work hard

I mean loane of course

Re: Squad for Featherstone : Mon Mar 28, 2016 7:32 pm  

Would be a massively stronger side if there was another attacking pivot alongside Barthau. Leatherbarrow well off the pace for me. Would have moved Cunningham to 6 and kept Ackers at 9 if I had my way. Hopefully Eliab will offer something.

Disappointing crowd of 428. We now have a winning team and yet our attendances are dropping off. What to do?

Anyone mention the 'M' word?
Disappointing crowd but surely not surprising. Travel problems all over the South East, some planned, some due to the storm last night. Start doing some promotional stuff for our 'in form' team , and who knows? New fans may come, old ones might come back.
Must admit I missed this one as I was at Mark Noble's testimonial match at the Boleyn this afternoon

Re: Squad for Featherstone : Mon Mar 28, 2016 8:33 pm  

We have a team playing in the 2nd tier and have had a decent start to the season, I would not really call us a winning team yet, let's get into the summer and see if we are still winning, all being well the numbers will then start to rise. It's a long road we are on.

Easter Monday travel never going to be good though, be it public transport or on the road.

Agreed, but the club cant rely on us who travel from every corner of the capital. They need to entice locals who arent affected by travel, can walk up on match day, etc. I think we all know by now there isn't an ideal day/time for Broncos to play as there are always 'issues' for some and not others.
