Well they say every dog has his day. And let's face they are dogs (and rabid ones at that, looking at the goings on in the West Stand).

We have had much darker times than this, enjoy this Keith, because this is probably as good as it gets, you haven't the resources or the youth set up to compete with the top teams consistently.

I agree. Saints definitely off the boil makes it a far more level playing field this year. Bit reminiscent of us in 2016 - good squad, almost no injuries - why not?

Oddly, we look reminiscent of them in 2016. No fight, no backbone, no commitment, liable to collapse under the slightest pressure.

Rovers were relegated in 2016 after sliding, imperceptibly, backwards over a 3/4 year period without heeding the warning signs, ultimately paying the price.

We are where we are right now due to errors made over the past 3/4 years (coaching, recruitment) and we are still going backwards. Wakefield are currently our safety net, but if they were to pull a win out of somewhere the alarm bells really will start to ring.

I don't believe it will come to that, but something clearly stinks around the club. No one is saying that this squad should challenging for the title, but it certainly should not be serving up the level of dross we have witnessed this past month.

you're not enjoying the moment, you're on here gloating you sad nice person. FC so severely live rent free in your head, you can't even enjoy KR winning with KR.

Don’t be childish.
You or I have no idea if this is as good as it gets. Only time will tell. I do however feel that Willie Peters has more chance of taking us to the next level this year than Tony Smith has of halting FC’s decline. If resources are the criteria then your lack of money, technical insolvency, lack of reserve/academy players making a breakthrough, seem to put you at a disadvantage. We have demonstrated our improved strength in depth this year, many of our squad players outside the first 17 leave even your first 17 in the shade. I accept that we have to demonstrate a consistent ability to compete with the top teams but only in the Cats away did we come up a bit short of a possible win. Three head injuries did not help. FC on the other hand can hardly compete with the bottom teams.

Recognising your pain helps even more. Your lack of English does not help me understand exactly what you are trying to say.

Think this is going to be the euphemism for all out-of-favour need-to-get-rid-of players, as in how many 'mucky kebabs' do we need to throw in the bin before season's end!!

We should use it as our new nickname.

Get the marketing department involved and use it to sell merchandise. Even Rovers fans will buy it.

Jesus what a fecking state we are in when we are taking the p#ss out of ourselves

A touching moment yesterday at the Hull derby yesterday when Rosalyn Sullivan wife of the late Clive Sullivan who played for both Humberside clubs delivered the match ball to official Jack Smith.
The home fans showed their respect by remaining silent for 80 minutes.
