I fear he may have lost the dressing room.

I called that 10 mins in tbh, sounds like they aren't playing for him

This squad could do some damage in the play offs with the right coach. Please get someone else in while it's still possible

Tough one to take. And a lot is self inflicted.

This bloke kept Smith and Price here for a season to long.

As long as the board get rid of the CEO like they should with immediate effect. KFP and Powell need to go ASAP

End of the corridor, on the left. Showers, benches and a big bucket that players hit, and sing songs to, WHEN they've won.
Full of HIS players, and no bad apples.

I'll leave it there

I liked a lot of what I saw in t'second half. But we gave ourselves too much to do. I wasn't happy when Connor Wrench lost the ball in the second half, so I'm going to drop him and see if we can clone Peanut this week so he can play at centre and half back next week.

We're low on confidence at t'minute but we will fix a few things up and be better next week.

That probably goes for at least 8 other clubs in the league though.

Its basically a lottery this season, a league of inconsistent sides, all capable of beating the other - our problem is we appeared to have peaked months ago, when it never really mattered and are now meandering along in a pit of mediocrity, not helped by a threadbare squad which should have been strengthened the moment we lost Mikaele.

Powell has to somehow get the side back on track over the next few weeks and grind out a few positive results to stop the chasing pack swallowing us up and overtaking us - if we did slip out of the top 6, I'm not sure we have the mental toughness to claw it back.

Sorry lads, just realised I made a mistake in my post. We wouldn't drop Wrench, we would send him on loan to a rival SL club.

Let’s be honest it’s not been a happy camp ONCE since he took over, that HAS to sit with him….that is his imprint. Such a shame we’re a good coaching appointment away from winning the lot but this board have backed a wrong horse yet again.

We are not meandering along, we are woeful. Yes there are clubs that are inconsistent, that's their issue. Threadbare squad , don't think I agree with that. Not sure we have anymore injuries than anyone else. There is definitely enough quality available to be performing much better than we are.
