A lot of contributing factors to why we’ve performed like we have today.
Confidence probably right up there as the main one...I said on here the other week any kind of win to help us climb out of the slump could make all the difference and it has...that win against Hudds looks to have lifted a huge weight off the shoulders of the whole team...first half we were excellent...got a bit scrappy 2nd half as could be expected with the short turnaround but we did it well in the end.
Just goes to show there’s still something there even with Chester in charge....all of a sudden things looking a lot more positive...Poching to come in, get the recruitment right, keep bringing the promising youngsters like Croft, Walker, Aydin, Bailey etc on and there’s no reason why we can’t have a much better season next year if injuries are a little kinder.
Looking back the fixtures since lockdown in that losing run were brutal...9 games and 7 against top 4 opposition...when your luck is down, confidence low and with the disruptions we’ve had to put up with the last thing you need is a run of fixtures like that...playing a team like Saints when you’ve lost 8/9 on the bounce is a near impossible task...we just needed a change of luck.
From many fans saying we wouldn’t win another game...after back to back wins things look a whole lot different and with confidence seemingly returned I’d actually fancy us against a top 4 side at home now!
We’ve missed playing at the old girl..!
