Draw - a good result for Fax

Leigh looked energetic in defence but couldn't unlock their defence when on their line.

Barrow looked mediocre at times and got bullied in 1st half



Nixon bad arm break (compound fracture) could be out for a while

Yep good news for us.



Am I right in thinking Nixon was the pacey winger?

he's the skinny weak boned winger.

Odds on favorite to take top tryscorer for 2010, not anymore me thinks.

I hope the break isn't too bad. I wish him a speedy recovery.

That break was awful, wish the lad well in his recovery. Nearly spat my lager out everywhere when they showed the replay the first time, never mind the second time! Thanks Sky!

Good game.. lots of penalties and dropped ball though

He must have weak forearms for it to fracture that easily?

I recorded the game but only saw the second half when I got in from work , my twisted nature is now telling me to go and watch the first half

Leigh's 1st half defence was excellent

Ah I wouldn't say that. He was falling with his full body weight on to it.

Why didn't you just start watching it from the beginning?!?

Because he was at work

He said he'd recorded it, so why not start of the recording?!

broke arm then sure he got up n played the ball.
a footballer would have been still rolling on floor when rooney scored.
hope he recovers well.

My guess is he sky-plussed it and got back from work at half-time.

Spot on, and been my mother father and son were watching the game I couldnt really put it on a delayed play back

I am the daddy

Why the smiley ?

Relax, I was referring to the score.

Fair enough mate.

No need.

Suprised no one on the tv mentioned that. Some very tough guys playing this game.

Good game. One or two very basic errors by the ref. 2 identical ball steals, ones a penalty and the other is play on. Did the rules change during the game? Second half first 5 minutes Hewer pulls Leigh for offside then you look at the replay and think, but were they? I was worried about us playing Leigh after watching the first 20 minutes, they tried to play a lot like us. After watching the rest of the game though they looked pretty average. Looks like they need some decent half backs to take them round the field. Barrow looked pretty poor in the first half and im pretty sure a good attacking side would have put a few points on them but in the second half they showed for about 30 minutes why they are a champion side. Lucky break for Leigh in the end because they didnt look like breaking through a paper bag.

near to the line, leigh looked like only had the one move. acting half to a stationary paul who then turned ball back inside. barrow were waiting every time.

couldn't agree with you more.robby paul seriously needs to change his game when we're on the oppositions line.we made it far to easy for them to defend.after the oldham/york games i thought it was going to be another long season then we stepped it up against fev & then again last night & we think there is still a lot of improvement to come from this squad.
at last it feels good to be a leigh supporter again

What you have to remember is Leigh are a very new team and should get better, especially with our 2 biggest transfers Bibby and Nash not playing yet.Moves will only develp through the season,but the basics of defence are already there and as a Leigh fan I feel optomistic of a decent season.

I think lots of teams will lose to each other this year and Fax do look like they have the best squad, but I would not bet on many sure things this year, anybody can beat anyone at home with a few surprises on the away games as well.
