We where very poor against Widnes
We where worse today
This team need three experienced players in key positions
Centre..stand off..loose forward without them this team will always struggle it has no pace no idea how to break the line and they have
players like Marsh who to be frank are baaaaaaaaaadddddddd !!!!

Its heartbreakin for a long time Leyth fan like me to have such a wonderful ground and such a poor team without pace or ideas !!

Poor second half performance from us and we should of had the game wrapped up in the first half. We looked on our feet in the last 20 minutes, maybe this was something to do with only have 1 substitute left for around 15/20 minutes of the game whilst Barrow had a 3/4.

Our attack was dire in the second half when Watson went off, we turned into five drives and a kick when we managed to complete the set. I think we need a Stand Off ASAP, Marsh isn't up to it and neither is Ridyard (yet) and we are going to struggle without one IMO.

Why did Kelly make 2 substitutions after 3 minutes of the 2nd half?Cant remember who the forwards were but did not make sense to me.

Also, why is Maden stealing a living? Was he injured throughout the whole of the second half, if so then fair do's but I think not so why could he not be bothered with tackling and chasing back? How many times in the last 12 months has this guy made a break? I wouldnt pay him with washers at the moment.

And whilst I am on one, I am not critising Durbin for his three knock-ons when under no pressure, I wonder why the crowd do not have a go at the wonder boy when the second Watto makes an error he gets absolutely slated for it.

Marsh couldnt tackle a hot dinner in the 2nd half after he came back on after Watsons unfortunate head injury and between him and Maden we could have kept in the game but for poor tackling.

Was it 3 times times we spilled the ball on the first tackle? Inexcusable

Okay, the ref got one or two decisions incorrect however, I felt we got one or two shouts we should not have.

Kelly has to find out why we can play controlled , almost error free rugby with Barrow hardly breaking the line (if at all) in the first half, to then start to fall off tackles, not wrap the ball up in the tackle, looked lethargic, lazy and void of ideas in the second.

What a difference 1 game makes to our thinking of the team.

It could be a lot worse - you could be a Luton fan. Now that is a fall from giffy heights

Come on folks we were a million times better in the first half today than last week. I am very optomistic about our future. We were taking a very good team to pieces untill Watto got hurt. The main thing that happened and it happens to the best teams was complacency set in. We stopped getting in their faces like in the first half. We let them run at us. Loose your general and everyone looks to everyone for a new leader. We didnt have one to take over and take the game by the scruff of the kneck. Mistakes started to creep in and a couple of bad decisions and our legs became heavy. I would have liked to see Durbin a halfback after Watto went off. Or at least mix it with Jock to try and get them thinking and not rush our line.

Who got M.O.M for leigh today

Which game was you at? Durbin played at half back all the time Watto was off

another depressing day out at the concrete morgue
how bad were Barrow in the 1st half, Fax would have been leading by 30+ !

we need to replace Maden & Stewart with some QUALITY, as well as a stand off, and a scrum half.

Definitely need a decent half back very quickly (with experience).

I too thought Maden was very poor today in defence especially. He doesn't look the player he was 3 or 4 seasons ago for sure.
