I think we have heard the same argument everytime from you, when we loose, yet you were all quiet when we won the last 2 games and have scored 100 points in them. I think we were not there today. but lets remember who we were playing, WHITEHAVEN - WHO HAVE NOW PLAYED 3 WON 3. They are bottom of the league yes, but that is due to starting on -9. They were in the same division as us last year. It is a game we wanted to win, of course but travelling to Cumbria is always tricky, and they really needed to get on an even footing in the league tables.
The thing I find amusing is your user name Loyal fan???? Who or what are you loyal to????

First 10 minutes we control the field well and forced a drop out. Then we concede 3 straight penalties and they score off of the back of it. Discipline wise we just imploded and we went on to concede 16 points off the back of being penalised in the first half.

Second half we improved but every time we looked to be building pressure, we conceded a penalty that relieved it.

Our attack was completely impotent, we might as well put Duffy and Hutch on the transfer list if we're never going to give them the ball. Reinforced by the fact that the first time we passed to a wide man, we scored.

Where's the exiting and entertaining brand of Rugby we were promised? There wasn't much on offer today. It just seemed so easy for Haven to employ the umbrella defence to shut us down and we had no answer, no cheeky grubbers or chips through and apart from Duffy's try, no attempt to use a cut out ball over the top of it.

We lost by 14 points, we conceded 18 in total off of the back of penalties, we need to cut out the dumb rugby and fast.

As loyal fan has been to both Gateshead and today I would think he could post what ever he wanted about the game. If not we might as well only have your opinion on here and lets be done with it.

I went to Gateshead and If I had gone today then I would have posted what I wanted to as well. I'm not as loyal as loyal fan though.

I have to agree with you on this point.

Loyal fan has paid hard earned, money to travel away and pay into the ground.
He like anyone else is entailed to his opinion. We may agree, or may not agree with it but he can give it.

As per my score prediction post, I just had a feeling we'd get turned over today. Like I said last week, I hoped the rotation system JD likes to employ wouldn't backfire on us this week. I had a feeling it might though. I didn't got to the game today so I can't comment on the performance side of things.

We were not going to win every game this season and anyone who thought otherwise was deluded. Whitehaven are still a good side and on paper are maybe stronger than we are. We've had two easier games so far and this was a big test. Whitehaven is a tough place to go. If the club are really serious about getting out of this division and being a super league club maybe to aid the performance an overnight stop may have been an advantage, but I appreciate the cost implication.

As supporters we have to get behind the club through the good and bad. No doubt today was a bad day and rather than criticise maybe some optimism wouldn't go amiss. But like GW says it's their right. My opinion on that however (as my right) is that it's too negative and fickle.

Re: todays game : Sun Mar 27, 2011 7:10 pm  

I might have posted this harshly cause was that pi**ed off with the commitment from some players today but when you have spent £80 to go watch the team you expect some commitment and effort back, Belcher when they put a kick through was a joke didnt want to put his body on the line and dive on ball just seemed to leave it, as for saying what i want other fans do so why not, Dewsbury earlier in season fans shouting for buster to be dropped and get off pitch he is one of our best and committed players he was good today him andm haythonwaite.
And i don't want to win win win or wouldnt of gone to nearly everygame every season but expect some effort from the lads. Whitehaven were a poor side and we made them look really good, I was with some neutral halifax and couple of barrow fans who hadn't gone to york and they couldn't believe the state of our half backs, to say drake is meant to have an awesome kicking game you could of picked someone from stand to kick it better.

Re: todays game : Sun Mar 27, 2011 8:22 pm  

Whitehaven were far superior to us today. They were faster, more inventive, and much keener. We had nothing to match their half-backs and in a game where we wern't dominating in the forwards as we have so far this season we had nothing to trouble them. Our attack is virtually none existent, and we are totally incabable of scoring from more than ten yards out. As someone else has said we might as well not have any backs as our one move seems to be to drive the ball up the field as near to the centre of the field as possible, if it moves too far wide we desperately move it back inside.
i have got to say that so far this season I have seen some of the most boring matches i have ever seen watching keighley. Dewbury, Hunslet, both Rochdale games, the second half at Gateshead and today were enough to send you to sleep.
