Last 3 games aggregate score (and I've not included the Leigh game)

113 - 26.

That's against Newcastle, London & Barrow...

That is a shocking statistic, what an earth has happened and I cannot believe it is all the coach.

Total breakdown of discipline, belief and confidence.

Re: Barrow away : Sun Jul 24, 2022 4:26 pm  

Stick a fork in us. We are done.

I think I’ll go and watch the reserves, academy and women’s team for the remainder of the season as the first team are painful to watch.

The club, coaching staff etc must know which players either don't want to be at the club or aren't going to be there next year. Time to sack those players off and give some of the young guys a chance if they're physically able to cope for a few games. If they did that, I would attend to watch them. Persist with this bunch of wasters though and they can expect to see crowds continue to plummet despite what they announce. The season is dead in the water, expect Halifax will absolutely embarrass us next week. I'm not sure I can even face watching this side on TV, embarrassment to the club and the shirt. Credit to anyone spending money watching it, although I'd question your sanity or the lack of other interests to occupy your time.

I wonder if the players feel let down by the appointment of new coach after all the hype about quality applications. I know they should be professional enough to play for whoever is in charge but it all seems to have gone totally t**s up since the appointment.

Tbh they’ve been crap all year.

I would say in answer to that, why aren’t they pulling up trees trying to impress other clubs if they want away?, but the logic behind that went when the second best team is the league signed Dan Fleming.

Scoreline flattered barrow a touch. Not by much by 6/8 points or so.
We could have still been there now and not managed to break them down to score. Millars miracle play from a kick got us over the line.

What i will say is there looked to be more effort today. More urgency (in most part) on the goal line D. But my god we are terrible on attack.

Brad England my MOM (although he did miss a tackle for 1 of the late trys) but he put a shift in.
Hallas had a dig as well.

A mention on GFJr. Hope he doesnt get dropped for his mistake. It can only be described as an absolute brain explosion but ulitmately cost us 12 points. The kid needs to keep his head up hes obviously going to be a huge talent.

Sounds like the exodus could have started. First Fleming and now I've been told MDJ is heading out of the club.

Get the feeling the decks are being cleared ahead if next year. This is not Dunning's squad and I hope people give him a chance to build his own team.

The only way people will give him that chance is if he gets an improvement out of the existing squad in the remaining matches.

At the current rate, Dunning’s 2023 squad will be playing in front of 900 at home.

He hasn’t shown anything to suggest he’s capable in the last few weeks, but sure let’s write it off and give him a chance with “his own squad” next year.

I’m just about finished. If they decide to get a decent coach in, I could be tempted back next year.

Problem is nobody knows if Dunning is a decent coach or not. And this team is rotten to the core.

I don't believe any coach would be able to sort the mess going on internally without a complete clear out and that just isn't realistically going to happen until the end of the season.

Doesn't mean I'm happy about it but we have to face facts... the players at the club don't want to play.
