We left at 20-0, just as the North Stand chanted 'You're not fit to wear the shirt'
I don't ever remember leaving BV feeling so flat and empty, it was an awful performance.
I won't be back this season, spent 50 quid and had 6 hours kip to be up for work at 5am this morning, they are
not worth my time, money or effort.
We just need our SL time to be over now, and as quickly as possible.

Yep Gale can’t play next week. Applegarth said in his post match presser that he was fit enough to play last night he just went with Smith instead. I guess he’ll be in for the Catalan game.

We also let Rob Butler play in the cup for Bradford so he can’t play next week either.

I gave the game a miss last night after finishing late from work. Gave my ST to my mum to go with my dad. Watched it on sky. I’ve never seen an attack look so blunt in my time of watching RL. We are simply flogging a dead horse, apart from a select few, we are either simply not good enough, or possibly don’t care. The first try positioning by Lineham was nothing short of a disgrace. Apparently we look like Australia in training against our bib team, unfortunately we just simply are not good enough. Never mind Gale, we could fly over Nicho Hynes and still not win a game.

It could be said that both Warrington and Hull performed well below their best against us. I believe this is down to the fact that teams probably unconsciously know we have nothing so basically they just go through the motions.

great rendition of your not fit to wear the shirt, people finally taking off their rose tinted spectacles

Every game is the same, nothing changes, he has players that are undropable and it is all players in the middle.

We have no link up to link the left side to the right side when in possession . A ball handling forward could make a difference, not to single one player out as it is most but everytime the ball went to the loose forward it killed the ball/play.

Lino and Smith look as though they are in competition with each other instead of linking up, appreciate Dagger is still fairly new to the team but Jowitt is much better in the attacking line (Some very good defence by Dagger though)

Everything is one man rugby, no attacking plays, no runners on an angle literally pass and run forward 3 meters get tackled amble about thinking about playing the ball and rinse and repeat, zero urgency , zero idea.

Ashurst about the only player to run an angle and shock he just about scores even though that was made to look harder than it should have.
12 games in nothing has changed, every move is predicatable, we are at our worst when 20m from the opposition line, panic, kick, handover, make an error/concede a penalty/6 again, they score game over happens same time every week (60mins).

On a positive it didnt rain

Just been a dumping ground for other S L to get rid of old ,injury prone players over the last 3 or 4 year If you put that with the players, that have gone ok for Wakefield but are way past there best now, such as Lynn ,Ashhurst plus others you can see were we are. It does not matter how many Luke Gales you have on the pitch if you have no pace in the team he will make no difference . Just a slow ,old team, that are a disgrace to a great club

Lynn really aggravates me. Signs a long deal and is only 30 and should be In his prime years! Since he signed his long deal I can’t remember one good game from him. He looks unfit and a shadow on the player 2/3 years ago. He’s only 30 though. I won’t fault Lyne heart though as he loves the club and I like him but I just can’t help thinking we’ve offered some players the security of a good deal and the club aren’t getting the return they should be.

Unfortunately that happens so many times not just in lynn’s case, players suddenly putting a shift in weeks before contract negotiations then dropping off and back into easy street ,it really is a minefield keeping players hungry to perform at their max

The one play that summed up our performance related to a penalty we were awarded on their line. We passed it to a running forward but the referee called it back because he had not blown. We took the tap again and this time we still passed it to the same forward but he was stationary and actually stood about three feet from the play.

I went to Fev v Sheffield last week. Let me give you a tip. We aren't going to win every week in the Championship. We aren't going to come close...

1. It's highly likely Fev will be in SL next season.
2. Should you get relegated, You don't even know what players or coach you will have.
3. Should you get relegated, you will have breathing space, and time to regroup as a club, with pressure off, and be able to set your goals for the future.

You cannot say we will or we won’t as it would be a completely different squad that would need to be judged on its own merits should we be relegated.

But we won’t have this team in the championship and hopefully with the core players and actually players that want to play for the shirt we will be at least competitive unlike we are at present in super league

It may be a completely different squad but put together by the same board with unchanged principles of business. The reduced revenue will automatically impact the squad we put together. We are not even sure we will be full time, so within one season we could be back to square one albeit with a nice stand, grass and lights.

Not [ientirely[/i true that though is it?

Mc is stepping aside and no one knows what the new incumbent will put in place going forwards when he gets in the hot seat in a month or so’s time . At this point it’s only speculation, and personally I’d rather wait and see what plans he has for driving us forwards before commenting

I believe he did state that he could stay until the end of the year by which time you would hope that the squad would be complete and back in training so yes it could be entirely true.

I wasn't making a literal statement, it was based upon Sheffield being super organised and energetic, showing that they have been able to articulate a training ground structure on to the match day field.

But I think you all knew that.

"Could" but not that he actually would.
......Especially as he said last night on Sky that someone new was coming in soon....

Translation
albeit with a nice stand, grass and lights = an asset that creates more income away from the rugby and attendances.

They may produce the income they hope but you have to weigh this against the Championship money, loan repayments and reduced attendances.

I wonder how the stats for the Hull forwards compares to ours.

But it will reduce that shortfall from those you mention considerably.

Pretty much the same as ours.
We both had high tackle numbers. Both sets missed a lot of tackles. Both had 3-4 forwards running over hundred metres. Difference being, their worsed were a lot better than our worsed
