You said Holdsworth and McDonnell would play in the derby.

Like you did with our number 7 you mean

We are not worldbeaters and I think you will win against Wakey.

Did you go on Friday? Did you see how bad we were?

I was working but watched it later.

Not to put too fine a point on it you have been poor in previous seasons and suddenly 'found' a winning performance.

I won't be surprised if you do it again against Wakey.

One of those games where we looked worse in person, as it were. I left the stadium wondering where our next win would come from.

Fair point but could it be a case instead that the gloom descended when we shot to 12-0 up inside 25 mins and that was it?

when we scored after half time and then burns went off we should have had players like houghton whiting horne tickle taking the game by the scruff of the neck and getting us the win we had experience on our side but no 1 wanted to step up and be that leader

too many individual plays!



houghton-tried too hard and made silly errors

tickle-same play everytime, so predictable and easy to read!

whiting-played behind a well beaten pack and had no chance, hence poor kicking game!

horne-even at fullback he tried to create gaps, had a couple of decent runs but no back up



watching the game we were well and truely beaten and apart from crooks' try kr got the bounce of the ball on the day, look at the collision with eden and hodgson, 9 times out of 10 that would have spilled forward and resulted in a try for the other team!

I'm not having that, he just kicked badly, end of story. A few times he had enough time and space, looked up field, and still rammed the ball down a Rovers throat. He had a day with the boot to rival Horne at his worst.

Horne has never been that bad.

That's how I saw it, and he (Whiting) was in my top 2, which tells you how bad it was! Can't see anything other than a Wakey win, and I was going to go, but after Friday, and tbh money's tight, I just cant justify wasting money turning up, when the team don't give a to$$ (baring a couple of players) they look as though they can't be ar$ed, and if that's the impression I'm getting then I wont waste money following them away, and if I didn't have my pass I probably would pick and choose my matches!
