Is it a blessing in disguise 5 of our last 7 are away from home? The last 2 capitulations have been greeted with anger and contempt by the crowd (for the record i think if you'll take the applause when you're flying, you need to be prepared to take the flack when you're not, especially post game)

Having 5 matches away from home could alleviate the stress the team feels when the chips are down.

How sad is it that I'm actually thinking my team will perform better when our fans aren't there, and from past comments, Powell thinks so too.

Don't be surprised if there a quite a few Tony Smith's barmy army chants and other chants directed at the board. Especially if we lose against toulouse. Which by the way has been announced as quid a kid.

I guess what worries a lot of us whether we are “in, out or shake it all about” is that woeful as we were in the play off game v KR last season our performances this season are way below what even the most pessimistic of us could have expected. Inevitably when a significant number of players have gone in the off season, and subsequently, people will look to the Coach for signs that he is at least steadying the ship.
I’m not demanding that Powell go BUT, I would like to see some sign that he is influencing the team in a positive way. I’m a very nervous supporter at the moment, and not in a good way.

That pretty much sums up where I am at the moment. The catalans matchade me feel better that there was some ability to put in a performance but its forgotten quickly with 2 games since churning out very poor results. Nervous times indeed.

not only does he go missing and is extremely limited he is also currently Captain! Watch him when we concede (it happens a lot), he not only doesn't speak he just stands there shaking his head, it's painful to watch. So this is my main worry, the people Powell has put all his faith in don't seem to be of the 'right stuff'.

If we survive and Ratchford is indeed to be our first choice six for next season - don't expect much improvement in our performances.

Ratchford has been on the decline for a couple of years now, it’s been there for everyone to see. It’s an absolute ludicrous decision to offer him a new deal when we have Dufty/Thewlis/Ashton.

Yes, a crowd on their back, that's just what will drive an already low on confidence side to perform to their best...

I assume from the manner of your posts, you will be taking advantage of the £1 entrance offer??...

Bugger. Was going to take the kids to that one, but now it’s been brought forward we’ll still be at the airport in Turkey waiting to fly back. They’d better have free WiFi.

If any self respecting parent takes this offer up, I'm reporting them to the NSPCC.
