It does make you wonder what motivates so called professional players - fortunately I missed the game last night as was away. But realistically season has finished we won’t win another game before London. Right now if your the coach, chairman and fans you must just be wondering what’s gone wrong. Everyone’s done their bit apart from most of the players themselves - I exclude big Dave from any criticism as he’s pretty much carried us all season , he’s probably put his hand up on several occasions when he should have rested.

I know we be had injuries but on paper team we are putting out should be competitive

Realistically can’t see London getting 2 wins before they play us so chances are we will be safe. However they do have Leeds to play at home and generally have an easier run in it’s not impossible .

Really thought this season was the year where we might have made the play offs , Wembley etc . Right now am debating wether or not to bother going to any more games this year

I think we all expected to improve on the last 2 seasons and the club defiantly fuelled the situation with the comments made. Im not sure were we go from now but a statement from the club followed by some positive action would help. Im not at the moment saying sack Chester but he deffo needs help from the backroom staff or a new man manager. A new coach does however normally achieve better performances and results but only Chester knows the full extent of the problems and if hes capable of putting thing right.
Players MUST take some responsibility and show to the fans what the club means to them because the next few games would not normally provide the club with a win. MC must be extremely disappointed but without throwing money at the situation we will probably limp to the end of the season and rely on other results going our way.

There's no probably about it. We're already relying on other results going our way, and have been for a few weeks.

But looking at it the players we're bringing next season they're not match winners they're just replacements for who's going & we still have no leader & still no-one to add that magic touch so we're not aiming for top five next season everythings at a standstill

Re: Championship : Sat Jul 13, 2019 8:08 pm  

It's way too late to have any thoughts of top five or any such hopes, I think we all know that; But it's not too late to get all the lads in a group and find out what the problem is, because the schoolboy errors in defence are frankly embarrassing and costing us dearly. As Redscat has mentioned earlier the tries last night were scored at will by Cas on the wings.
why is it not being addressed? Either it isn't or the coach is being ignored!
How come so many of our forwards get the ball when they are standing still?
Cas showed us how to play with aggression and attitude. We should look at them and learn how to play and WIN!

Re: Championship : Sat Jul 13, 2019 8:40 pm  

I couldnt make yesterdays game so had to make do with listening on the radio, but it seemed to mirror every other game for the last couple of months. Ie. No creativity or structured plays. Most of our scores coming from capitalising on opposition errors (which we do very well).
The forwards are not to blame in my opinion. Despite the absentees our pack still hold their own and lay a decent platform.
But our 1,6 and 7 really isnt working. When we are relying on Brough kicking a ball as high as he can and hoping someone doesnt catch it we are screwed. Its something you might expect from an u11s game.
We sounded to have the same territory as Cas but 20 yards out with ball in hand we are pathetic.
Major changes needed because without a big slice of luck we wont win another game.

A month has passed since I posted this, and it's looking more likely than ever.
