Lost the will to win and totally clueless!!!!! : Fri Aug 14, 2009 1:44 am  

Were is the spirit to win gone,we had no attacking flair on the many oppertunities we had to break the Sheffield line.Who,s told Penky to kick wants their head sorting out.I counted 5 times he directly put it down the fullbacks throat,his passing is shocking and its about time he was addressed before we lose again at Batley.For me we have lost a hell of fire power in the front row,Watene is making the hits but not sticking,he does not break the line and is extremely over rated.Were was Said,Worrincy and why did Ben Black start from the bench.The Faxs support was tops and vocal and Mr Clay needs to address the overall fitness levels and our defence,they have leaked so many soft tries in the last 4 games without the attacking play we started the season with to keep us in the game.Every time we go behind our heads go down and the effort goes through the window.Mark Gleeson and Bob Beswick were our best players tonight,they tackled their hearts out and Beswick was a constant thorn for the Eagles,these two 100% its a pity the rest did not.

I agree with most of that, however....

....Mr Calland needs to sort out the fitness and the defence, and My Clay needs to sort out Mr Calland!

Couldn't agree more about Penky kicking. That one must have been agreed during a bender!!

I imagine Tamghart has been dropped, he has been poor the last couple of weeks....the same goes for Worrency i'm sure.

Will you make the final ?

At the moment I'd predict a Barrow v Eagles GF

Not sure who will be in the final. Play offs are different games. I would have said it all depends where we finish in the play offs and if we get a home draw or not, but we are just as bad at home, at the moment.

Barrow is certainly the favourites at the moment and I wouldn't count out any of the other 5.

I wish you could all shut up with this Country mile cr@p! MC said it when it was true - and when we were all saying it on the terraces too!

Now is not the time to be writing off the team that we SUPPOSEDLY support - now is the time to get them fired up to get a bit of form back for the playoffs. The lads clearly lack some confidence and losing the "support" of their own "fans" is not gonna do much to help

The "country mile" tag has served to "Fire up" the opposition no end and is likely to do so until the end of the season, regardless of whether it was a daft remark or not!!
As said on another thread - 2 coaches I know have used that tag in their game prep talk - both have beaten Fax!!

Support in my opinion isn't purely lost through results. I am a sucker for a trier and to see my team give 101% week in week out is all I ask. This team since the Cas game hasn't offerred this in any way shape or form and to be fare hasn't played for a full 80 mins all year and has constantly made silly schoolboy errors all year instead of playing basic percentage rugby. Loyalty is earned and do I want to spend my cash travelling to watch this bunch of heathens with little or no pride in the shirt they wear? . . . . . . . NO I DONT.
