Quote Jonnie..="Jonnie.."Matt Calland only has 14 firt players and has to play 3 players who are not fir, he must be a bad coach beacuse of this!

Quote Jonnie..i dont know if its a fax thing, but we seem to do far too much calling for coaches heads, it solves very little in the short term, and just casues a whole lot more cost, coaches should be judged on a season not a loss or two, we are in a play off position after all! '"
Its not who we lose to its the way we lose and the way things are done. We have so much potential but we are not seeing any signs o it happening. I support the coach as long as I see evidence that he knows what he is doing and that the team are trying their best and that we are heading in the right direction.The signs have been there since day 1. Calland has had 3 years and simply is underachieving. The question is how long do we wait before Calland actually is costing us more than be getting rid of him? Nobody knows that answer. But I know several people who refuse to watch Fax under Calland.Here is what I feel the problem is with Calland and Fax and why we will never win anything under him
DEFENCE
Players miss tackles but there is no way teams who are way below our budget should be scoring over 35 points like Hunslet and Dewsbury have done. The problem has been for the past 3 years the System. Calland has brought in various players and the same problem exists. Calland cant coach how to defend properly. If you cant defend its unlikely you will win any trophys. In defence we never seem to have the first man in stopping the player and ball and then a second man working him slowly down on his back. Teams seem to find it easy to get us offside probably because our players are often too old and especially on warm days struggle to keep up with younger more enthuiastic teams.
ATTACK
We look clueless often especially against a good defence. We seem to rely on one play and off the cuff Skills of players. It works up to a point. When we are struggling and lacking confidence. we should go back to basics and do a simply 5 sets and a good kick. We need to build pressure. You need to respect the ball and have confidence in the moves you are doing.We need somebody who will say OK lets do the basics. We need 1 Captain who everybody respects-not 13 Captains who do what they want. We need less panic and rush and more composure. Playing off the Cuff like we seem to do looks good at times but simply will not win us any trophys
DISCIPLINE
Discipline has been a problem on and off the field under Calland both for players and Staff! Blackpool last year for example. Calland threatening people in Clubs. Players often drinking 24 hrs before a game. We give so many needless penalties away in defence its pathetic. We have players who need a strong Coach who will not let them do what they want on and off the field. In Pro RL you need a team that is in control of itself and can control games through discipline both with and without the ball. I fail to see that with Fax at all.
SQUAD
We have a small old Squad. As you get over 30 the injuries increase and they take longer to heal. In the heat you struggle due to the body not being as sharp as somebody younger. So you get caught off side more or give away silly penalties. The knowledge is in the head but the body is not able to adapt as it used to. An old squad like us will struggle in the heat and at the end of the season.
How come Hunslet, Keighley, Dewsbury etc have a reserve team on a budget a lot smaller than us? Any Pro team MUST have a reserve team to keep ALL players fit and also to give youngsters a chance. We have young Fleming sat away doing nothing. No way will he play first grade for Fax. So we send him somewhere for a month. Cheeryholme is sent to Swinton for a while. What a waste of money and talent! We have wasted money IMHO on Aizue and Gene as well as Holroyd now ,when that could have gone on having a reserve team. If we have injuries then give the reserve players a chance instead of playing a few crocked players.No wonder we are struggling
