Whitehaven RLFC V Keighley Cougars

Keighley Cougars V Featherstone Rovers

Keighley Cougars V Halifax RLFC

Barrow Raiders V Keighley Cougars

These are the games left. For the life of me i cannot see us beating, Fev or Fax. We have a chance with Whitehaven.
If we have to win on the last day of the season against Barrow. I can see that being a really hard game up there.

I think bonus points will make the difference. So making sure we get them against Fev and Fax is crucial.

You have missed Workington away a week on Wednesday.

We need 4 points in my opinion and they will have to come up north if we are to get them.

You've missed out the cruicial mid-week match against Worky. Three games in a week, with the players low in confidence, might just be a killer.

As I've said on another thread, unless something changes with the attitude and application of the team we are in for the drop. It pains me to say this, but unless we can find a massive confidence boost from somewhere, I can't see another win untill next year.

So i did. Is it a case of picking which games to target.
Maybe play a very weak team in the games we dont stand a chance and then target the game we have more of a chance.

I Hope that we can somehow manage to acquire enough points to stay up.. but my head says not a chance.
As I said in an earlier post The coach should walk, the interview after the match was ridiculous made no sense. The Chairman in my opinion doesn't seem interested in our slow sad demise.
We need fresh ideas from someone to save our season and start again.
I really hope something positive happens before its to late.

games left = 5, can we win any of them = no.

I'd say you can get at least a point of 4 of them games

At the start of the season I would have said we would win 2, bonus point 2, lose 1 without bonus point.

Are the players still capable of this - YES

Does the team currently have the confidence and belief in themselves - apparently NOT.

I don't know if you've seen our last few games, if you have you will know why we are so despondent.

We need the players to find their "mojo" and quick.

Like everyone on here, I sincerely hope we stay up. Has anyone done the maths to see how many points we might realistically need to stay up? Its something I keep meaning to do but never seem the get the time.

If anyone associated with the club monitors these posts please make the fans a promise and commitment. Whether we stay up or go down please ensure a full, top to bottom analysis is performed to find out what has gone wrong. We have a team capable of much more so in my eyes there is a problem somewhere and it needs sorting fast.

Depends if haven av any DR in this weekend, if we dont i think u cud take us close just like dewsbury did, and am not mentioning our game v donny

We havent had a DR player for 3 months or more.

I can understand why many of the lower teams are taking points from other teams thanks to DR, it is ruining the game and ultimately will send clubs like our own spiralling down the table and in to administration

More than 3 months.

Last duel reg appearance for Cougars was Charlie Martin 17th March against York.

Agreed , The Dual Registration is an absolute shambles.
Just another example of tje RFL bowing down to the Super League clubsto help them after they
dumped reserve teams.
The sooner this nonsense is stopped the better I.M.O. , It is just another below the belt
blow to the integrity of all clubs outside of the Super Dooper League.
If all Ch clubs got together and refused to join in with this idiotic idea
the hame in general outside of SL would be in a mich better place.

Can't blame DR, or use it as an excuse for the inept performance that we put in against Batley last week.

Rather than be all doom & gloom. How about been positive and getting behind the team.

COME ON COUGARS!!!.

Come on Cougars, I'll be cheering the team on up at whitehaven.

Best post in a while on here, back the team and changes will be made for next season. We need to stay up.

I have defended the coach and players on here on many occasions, in my opinion they needed time to bed in to a new structure and tactics and form a team.

That time has long past (Dewsbury away), we should now be performing.

I will continue to support the players, and shout as loud as anyone on match days and support them in the bar with words of encouragement after the match. However, I also have the right (and duty) to criticise when things are obviously not right.

I'll be cheering as loud as anyone if we win at Whitehaven, but having been to Cumbria many times I think we know how hard it can be up there.

With the reorganisation of super league, this is one of the most critical seasons we have had since the days of Cougarmania. That we have performed so poorly is a great disappointment.

I can still recall the shirt presentation night before the start of the season where Gary said he expected a "top four" finish. I can excuse his inexperienced enthusiasm and i can accept that blowouts happen to every team, but not in the way they are happening to us this season.

It appeared that the "psychologist" had done the trick, maybe we need to put some more glue on that sticking plaster.

A sports pyschologist was mentioned once, did the team ever use one? Did it last?

Yes, apparently, we can win at least one!!

Oh yes!

Most definitely. Wow!
