My god that was an awful game.

Niggly, permanently offside, players ruined it with lots of messing about at the play the ball from attackers and defenders. don't think I have seen so much play acting in all my life.

I said I'd take a scrappy win, well that was the definition of a scrappy game.

Well I called for Lance at FB, but OMG we miss Wellens. Saddened can call him slow for 5 years straight, but even with a busted hip he can play fullback with his eyes shut.

The funny thing is Makinson would not have been much better today at FB. The defence was well marshalled which is a plus. No gaps.

Makinson for me had a bit of a mare.
Swift did not have a lot to do, but his run out of the in goal area was what we needed at the time. A great bit of olay running.
Pity we lost another back early on in Dawson, meant reorganising the team again. Dawson actually looked decent for the few minutes he was on, anything coming his way he wrapped up.
Ball control was poor and the messing about at the play the ball ruined any attack we had, but it seems that must be a tactic from Huddersfield to slow the game to their level.
Roby played well and was possibly my MOM
Mose had plus and bad points, for me he does no play as a team player. He did some great runs, but when someone busts him with a cheap hit, then he goes solo, looking for revenge. He should have took the chicken wing on the chin and not harbored it for a cheap shot when we did not need a penalty against us.
Walsh was limited but clinical.
Burns kicking was good and he competed for everything.
the rest of the pack looked like it was their 3rd game, lots of endevour, but at the end they looked shot and lacking in energy. They could do with some R&R.

All in all, nothing like the last 3 games, but a win we needed.

We need a fullback and sadly Imo it isn't wello. Even without the hip injury hes still not good enough now. As saddo said, he's basically a speed bump now in defence and basically dead with the ball in hand.

The Dawson injury is a worry now if percy ain't back soon. I wouldn't fancy seeing young ashworth up agsinst Watkins or joel moon next week. Surely Josh jones will be called up.

Desperately needed the win more than anything. Walsh came on and did his thing and we win the game.

Bring on leeds!

Jones will have to play. There is nothing else left.
