dont be too harsh on your boys.....it was short notice but dont forget that powell didnt know he was playing cougars either......we arent great fans of red hall or sky but it seemed a sensible decision at the time(for a change).....the scoreline reflects the confidence running through the fev squad at the mo

That's very true, but Powell at least knew he was preparing for a game against "someone" whereas our lads were virtually "on holiday". (I think Daley Williams is still stuck in Spain)

However, you deservedly whupped our collective buts and we've just to get on with it.

I look forward to the return at Keighley (or do I )

I expected to get beat, Fev are a good side, but that performance was abysmal.

Light years away from the Fax performance.

The tackling was atrocious.

Tackling? There was tackling? Yes, it was utter rubbish. But, we're still on the same points as before, it's a game less to play later when the schedule is very crowded, and we lost to a very good Fev side. I can't see there's much to learn from that game, so let's forget about it, and move on. Go Cougars!

Yes we played crap most of time but also with ball in hand we looked good, quite simply it was bad day at the office.

Remember we have in last few games played very well and we will again, to me Fev looked best side we played.

Mindset was definetly an issue in my eyes and only Barryand players can deal with it.

One thing I have to say is the players never gave up and this was exlempified by Danny Jones who at end of game came over to fans and was visibly upset and apologised to the fans, unlike some clubs most of our fans stayed and applauded the players off the pitch this is what supporters tend to do.

Roll on the Barrow whist it will be tough I feel we can beat them, hopefully all the forwards will be fit.

Re: 16 turnstiles and Danny Jones....... : Fri Apr 23, 2010 5:16 pm  

We were lacking Daley down that side.
We were lacking a first choice prop in Scott Law.

I think with the above two, if they had been totally fit and on their game we would have done well to loose by 30.

Fev gave us a master class.

I was pleased Danny kept his record to 41 games.

The ball speed of Fev was first class across the field.
The wingers were on rocket fuel.

As much as I like all the players in our team, we are essentially playing a Championship 1 team in the Championship.

Fev, Barrow and a few others are getting the investment we at Keighley can only dream of at this time.

I would love to see funds which would allow Barry to do a little shopping and soon, because I think more than a few of our boys looked out of their depth in the last 30 minutes especially.

A very poor performance by the boys last night but the last thing they need is fans calling them, there probably as gutted as us all, stelf, how many tackles did D.J miss ?

We are not Dewsbury fans who turn on the players after one bad performance, disappoointing yes but never slag the players off after all they kept going to the end, fact is were were beat by a quality outfit.

I think the club is in a bit of a catch 22 on this.
Do they spend money and then go down, or do they wait till next season and spent money?

I singled out Danny Jones because he had a good game with the highlight being yet another 40-20 which was up the slope of Post Office Road. I don't recall him missing tackles I'm prepared to corrected on that though as I'm not a statistician. For a half back his defence is very good and he made some good tackles last night.
