Absolute must win game today. We have to start like a house on fire from the first minute. The matchup between us and the Knights is 50/50. We've won 5, they've won 5. Historically we are very evenly matched. We owe them one after the debacle at their place earlier in the season.

No Gaskell, York bench looks much bigger than ours.

Am I the only one that thought team selection was really odd

Re: York (H) : Sun Sep 10, 2023 4:21 pm  

Once again we fail to perform when it really matters. Last tackle options were awful, we missed Gaskell badly. I don't know what's been wrong with Appo over last couple of games, he seems to be doing everything half heartedly. Maybe he's on the move. Only plus was Doro today.

last chance saloooooooon ... and blew it. london/sheff we are not going to win away

Re: York (H) : Sun Sep 10, 2023 4:25 pm  

we can still miss the playoffs ... never mind having a home game

Re: York (H) : Sun Sep 10, 2023 4:34 pm  

overall ... barrow twice, york twice, keighley et al ... if we still finished so high up in second (winning those games) ... we still are not good enough. i really cant seeing us winning 1 nevermind 2 of our last games

Re: York (H) : Sun Sep 10, 2023 4:37 pm  

i really want us to do well, i miss not being in england and supporting the lads, so as any other supporter, im mad and also passionate

Well we’ve made it very hard for ourselves now, with two very tough away fixtures to come. Both sides above us, so we could either be 3rd in a couple of weeks time or we could be out the play offs, season over. Momentum has gone, so it will take an almighty effort to keep the season alive now.

Lacked creativity, lacked momentum not helped by a very slow play the ball throughout. With 3 or 4 starting players missing we look very ordinary. Gaskell was clearly a big loss and moving our best fullback to halfback to cover that loss wasn’t a successful tactical decision. York last play options were better than ours and they stepped it up in the 2nd half with some clever plays.

Desperately need the likes of Rogers, Gaskell and Blackmore back for London.

Re: York (H) : Sun Sep 10, 2023 5:04 pm  

Only heard it via Mick's commentary but it sounded like a really poor effort.

Complete inability to respect possession and no creativity going forward.

Was there any point in that second half when it looked like we might actually score?
