| Quote ="Kirmudgeonlyisback"think that neatly summarises what a lot of right minded supporters think, end of day we have severe financial restrictions compared to most clubs. But a lot of the signings made recently have been players that are a year or so beyond their best , and haven’t stayed fit - Brough , atkins looked like decent signings but gave us very little conversely westerman looked a high risk signing but was fantastic for us . Pretty tough if your the board'"
Weatherman was terrific for half a season and the after his call up was anonymous or injured so even that didn’t go swimmingly in terms of signings.

Even on his worst day he was one if the best in the team.
Wedterman was a good signing.

Wedterman is the German loose forward we signed but he couldn't get in the team because Westerman was playing so well.

Whose going to be missing that makes up half a team.
Even if we had 8.5 players unavailable that doesn’t necessarily equate to half the team that would have been picked.
This is my point, you only take the worst case.
Lyne will be back as will Hall. We don’t know if Jowitt is in trouble.
We don’t know regarding Miller.
Gaskell may well be fit.
In truth the only obvious players I know of who almost certainly won’t play is Hood and Lineham.
Croft can certainly play.
Let’s see what happens before we claim we are half a team down, please.

| Miller failed his h.i.a so is automatically ruled-out for Friday, but assuming Walker is fit then he is the obvious replacement ??
Willie said last week that Gaskell and Hood are still a couple of weeks off.

| That is a very good question last season we had 3 who could play fullback this season we have only 2 and with Gaskell out injured and if Jowett does pick up a suspension then we have a problem! CC as left us in a bit of a mess not resigning Rocky.

| Can’t see Jowitt picking up a suspension. Was running full tilt with the Leeds player heading for the corner. Leeds player got tackled and fell down literally in front of Jowitts legs. No time to adjust and one of those things. There was no sliding in with the knees at all and it’s just clutching. Would be extremely harsh of there was anything come from it.

| Well whoever looses this one will either stay or end up at the bottom, so only 2 teams with no points.
Same old same old up to press.

This is a tricky one for some.
They all hate Miller and love Walker.
So theoretically this loss is a win?
I’m more than happy to see Walker and Lino play at HB.
Truth is and it will break some hearts is that the only real loss is Jowitt should that happen.
I’m struggling to see any options other than Robbie Butterworth?? He did ok on Boxing Day and in the reserves at FB.
Raw though he is I’d rather see him there than a SR. At least he knows the position.

| This injury prone malarkey I don’t buy into ,it’s a contact sport and things twang or break that’s just a fact . Surprised how miller throws himself into tackles he doesn’t get Concussion every other week . Some of Johnstone’s head knock were inconspicuous but they all count and so we lost one of our best attacking weapons for extended periods . We have far more strings to our bow this season with the youngsters stepping up to the plate ,but obviously still need a decent spread of youth and experience to succeed. Most team will suffer this throughout the season , we’ve just had a particularly tough start with the fixture list ,but for me apart from the first 40 against leeds we have been competitive and more ,keep the faith .

You have a very unpleasant habit that seems to pervade a lot of your rambling pompous posts which is telling me (and other posters) what I think or what my motives are , this is something that you are patently not qualified to comment on so don’t.

| The bottom line is that we had better hope that Jowitt or any of our other players don’t receive a ban because we will be going into the game with a very young and inexperienced back line. We are also having to play with a less than desired hooking situation but that is the gamble we chose to go with squad wise. I think the club knew this hence the request not to have a go at the team when results or performances go against us.
If Jowitt does miss out then it is another academy player we are throwing into an already depleted team.

Lets cross our fingers regarding Jowett and hope we does'nt pick up a ban but with our luck he probably will,
But i can't see a young inexperience player playing fullback we must have a better option maybe Kay, Crowther and Bowes can cover the hooking roll.

God no. Please don’t put Crowther at 9.
I do not get this fascination to willingly play players out of position.
If we are missing a full back (which I don’t think we will) then why would you …
Play Kaye in an unfamiliar role at 1 resulting in playing Crowther in a position he is not suited for at 9..
Just bring in Butterworth who is an actual full back and keep Kaye and Crowther in their preferred/natural positions.
Honestly I just don’t get why you’d play 2 players out of position instead of just bringing in 1 young full back in.
That is exactly one of the reasons Chester repeatedly failed. Playing players out of positions to plug gaps. In most cases it simply does not work and ends up being detrimental to the team. Let’s gamble on Kaye at full back and while we are at it stifle our threat from 9…
Jowitt couldn’t adjust and the Leeds player fell awkwardly. It was just one of those things and Jowitt flew past him due to this. Looks like he got caught by a leg or boot if anything but I honestly don’t know what people expect Max to do? He can’t stop running full tilt on a player who unexpectedly fell in front of his legs. He couldn’t stop and if he’d carried on he’d probably have booted Newman in the head or stood on his head. Sometimes unfortunate things happen but the suggestions max slid in are ludicrous imo.
