I dont think it was poor coaching in my opinion it was not having players like Evans Mc Carthy
& Blyth available players of that calibire can change a game when we need to rest players or have players injured we dont have the calibre of the dual contracts to bring in... We have played our best rugby when those mentioned players have been available

So dual reg does not really help Champ clubs. We had Fairbanks missing at Sheff, it just screws up the whole team because the SL club determines when they can or can't play. Better off without it.

Losing Govin was the turning point.

If you look at who was fit and didn't play last night you will see we had no depth. We had Nicholson and ....................... who had played more than 2/3 games all season available.

Our squad was bare and needed DC's to get us through the season.

Next year we will have a deeper squad, at less money with all the bigger earners off contract.

One of the ironies of play-off rugby - Sheffield lost EIGHT Championship fixtures this season, and must be in with a shout of winning it.

Because if you would have left anyway , the result would not have had a bearing on your decision , therefore you would not have been party to any criticism

However I'm fairly sure the vast majority that left were leaving due to the result [ notice I say result , not performance ] , as I said the strength of a club is measured in the loyalty of it's fans , not it's bank balance , and last night showed us how strong a club we have

Who the f**k are you to question my loyalty?

Furthermore, if you are so much of a fan why insist on trying to alienate people?

I could spend the rest of the weekend putting you to rights but I have a life which I will get on with and leave you to your pathetic presumptions and prejudices.

The last thing we want now is a witch-hunt - Leyther against Leyther, or Leyther against the team. The vast majority of those who went last night are true fans - i.e. they turned up to watch.

Whether they leave early or not is up to the individuals - at least they turned up in the first place, where many didn't. (for whatever personal reasons)

We're all gutted, but right now there are more important things to focus on, like starting the battle to get our club back on its feet.

1,800 -2,000 fans, all pulling together, can make a heck of a difference.

Agree totally.
We have 1,700 loyal fans to build on starting now.
Lets move on and concentrate on building it up from that figure.

Said to my mate before the 1st play-off game, Sheffield are the worst side in the top 6 (judging by the games v Leigh, and ones on Sky)
If we lose at Fev, then Fax at home will be a toughie !!!
Blimey, how did last night happen ????

Re: Disgraceful : Fri Sep 23, 2011 8:13 pm  

Having made a 160 mile round trip last night I for one wanted to shake hands and thank these lads for a tremendous season regardless of last night's performance. So diappointing to see the emptying terrace with 5 minutes to go and just a handful left at the end to show their appreciation. All those players sadly leaving/retiring deserved better imo.
