Terrible, that sums up todays performance.
Well done Sheffield, far superior in every department.
Our players do make life hard for themselves a lot of the time, even in games we win. Today we'd just got back to 16-16, Thamgart takes the ball up from the kick off, he's got 4 men around him so tries a ridiculous offload and we lose the ball. People will say this is how we play and we have to expect mistakes with the style we play but maybe we have to learn when to adapt to the conditions/circumstances and play a different style.
Then with about a minute or 2 to go Paterson tries a little chip over the top and Sheffield catch the ball and then go down the other end and score again to deny us a bonus point. Even if we had regained the ball and scored there wouldn't have been enough time for us to score again.
I'm disappointed we lost but not surprised, think we got out of jail at Barrow and Fev. The important thing now is how we react, look at Manchester United, they lost at fulham about 8 matches ago and then won 7 on the trot from then. Thats what champion teams do.
Overall a poor day at the office but i'll still be there at Donny on Thursday hopefully watching my team bounce back.
It was nice to see Gibbo roll back the years and score a good try too.
Spot on that mate.
Lets be honest we played badly, only 2 players can come out of that game with any credit for me and that was Greenwood and Worrincy, the rest were poor and some very poor - Tamgart, Penky and Blacky.
It was just one of those days, even our new so far reliable goalkicker was off the pace missing 2 then we lose Blacky with a badly bruised foot and we have a new guy at stand off so we had no shape (not his fault he is new to the team).
Sheffeild had one of those days where 90% of what they tried came off, come on where di Gibbo get that pace from???
Thing is we must pick ourselves up and get back to the standard we were at before, starting at Donny Thursday night.
