Gaskell has a suspected torn pec so it's time for Smith to step up. Langi failed his HIA so won't be available next week. I guess Hall will make his return.

I don't know about Smith stepping up.... Lino needs to !!!!! Doing absolutely nothing at the moment ....v disappointed in him.

Somebody mentioned on here somewhere that James Ford had been interviewed for Cas job -IF that's true how committed to the cause is he?
At times like this we need to pull together.
I'll stick my hand up and say I thought we had a good squad this season, expecting more I suppose from the likes of Atoni and Proctor -although I cannot knock his effort in defence (last nights game excluded because I haven't seen it yet) BUT I was never one for Gaskell at SO. I thought we'd go with Smith and Lino but the coach stubbornly sees Gaskell as SL standard.
Like many I don't know where the next try is coming from let alone win.
The whole bunch of them need a kick up the proverbial .
We're four games in out of the 6 games I'm giving them to get a win- if we haven't got a win 6 games in then heads should roll before it's too late.

I was always hopeful the sum of the team would be greater than the parts, as the squad looked short on quality. The first four games have proved that this is not the case. Its already too late, unless now that MC is handing over the reins and we start spending to cash we don't have to get a better quality of halves from God only knows where to direct the team around the pitch, as we don't seem to have any attacking structures to fall back on.

Agree. Speculate to accumulate as they say - may cost us to get the quality we need but what's it going to cost us if we drop!!!!

Speculate just means going into massive debt again really, doesn't it?

We've had a good 25 year run in the top division which is easily our longest since the two division reintroduction back in the 70s.
Even Wally Lewis couldn't save us one year.
Always been skint, with poor crowds. Maybe time's just up again.

Last night was poor.

The question is how much will relegation cost compared to spending to survive. We lose the Sky money, lower away support and we will have to start repaying the ground purchase. The decision is for others to make but the outcome for us to live with.
