London coach Rob Powell, whose side have not won a match since last August, admits his side need a big improvement on their first-half showings in games.

He said:"We need to dig a bit deeper.

"That's three away games this year we have been poor in the first half and need to do much better.

"I'm not just blaming the players, I need to do better too.

"We can't continue to bash our heads against the wall. We are training hard but need to have a look at why the boys are not getting energy in the first half.

"When it was 20-0 at half-time the match was pretty much gone. Our start has to be better.

"Our dressing room after the match was the quietest I have ever seen."

John Stankevitch. Want someone young and hungry who won't take any **it, that has also played top level RL. Morgan would be ok.

Wouldn't mind Darryl Powell but he seems to have bought into the whole Fev for SL thing.

We seem to be very close to the position that Wire were in with Jimmy Lowes coaching when we thrashed them at The Stoop a few years ago (Oh happy day ).

So its time for DH to "Think on lad, think on", to quote Mr Shadrach in Billy Liar, and act accordingly.

John S has never coached at SL level so i think would have the same problems as the current coach. DP has been out of SL for far too long to take a gamble with and may have issues of credibility as well.

Morgan is OK with me as would Matterson.

But he's played SL for a top club. Recently.

Played yes - coached no!

Get him in as an assistant to the new guy from Oz and build up his knowledge more and get him ready to take over next time round. I think he has it in him but the players we have have to believe that not me or you.

He should have made it the noisiest

Exactly, RP seems weak. I didn't like the reference at the fans forum to the players not liking presentations being made in the bar after they has lost. He should have just told them to suck it up and win a few games.

I don't know maybe they have grown to like losing recently, they are very good at it. I hear the club have booked the sixties group The Easybeats for the bar after the game. They could play "He's got to go" !

Nit picking but Smith was in charge then. I think it was about his 2nd or3rd game.

Last night was pitiful. I very nearly walked out after 10 minutes of the second half. Probably only stopped by some stupid sense of loyalty and the fact that the new stadium (very nice it is) is in the ar5e end of nowhere.
