I'm more concerned about our youngsters been exposed to our so called SL players lack of effort, desire & confidence. It just wreaks of white flag.

Re: London calling : Sat Aug 17, 2024 8:24 pm  

Maybe I'm expecting too much but I'd like to have heard an apology and explanation from the management or owner of the club for that abject performance today.
I don't think I'm expecting too much but as fans and especially for those poor souls that attended today I think we deserve that.

Anger and disappointment doesn't come close to how I feel about the club right now after watching that.

I wonder if the players know or care about the fan's feelings right now.

As I said earlier (Ive watched it back again now, well as much as I could stomach and thank goodness I stopped writing the Dentist Diary!!!) last week I said we were at rock bottom but many said that we were in a worse mess at the start of the season when Smith was here well I'm afraid I have to disagree it feels like the Lloyd years and the Casey days if not the mid 70's but at least then we had seemed to have some hope this has spiralled down for years good players going always replaced by player not quite as good and fans becoming more and more disillusioned.

Thankfully it looks like the game is so far in with a ten years contract with IMG that we will hold the line with no relegation (Adam has told me several times in the past that Championship rugby would kill the club with the KC contract having to be renegotiated immediately and us not being able to afford to stay there anyway and us effectively being homeless). Although on that front after today Deggsie will be rubbing his hands!!!! What a mess and simply heartbreaking for many of us!

Think the only thing that is toxic is that poorly, cheaply assembled playing roster with a couple of exceptions.

Losing IMG points for finishing bottom may be twitchy as others have improved and Hull gone backwards. The playing roster for 2025 is arguably as bad as 2024. Can’t see any light for you lot.

Think the passholders have well and truly been taken for a ride this season, we all paid up front to see a team with a few decent new players.we got new players alright but only one who we could call a good signing,Herman Ese Ese. Who signed these players who we mostly got rid of in no time?, bargain basement signings and is there any wonder we are where we are. Adam Pearson maybe saved the club but he should hang his head in shame after this seasons debacle,some of the signings had cut price and championship all over them.Try selling season passes on this seasons displays,not going to be easy.

Re: London calling : Sat Aug 17, 2024 11:19 pm  

Grix didn’t give a Shoite
He’s already dialled into next season mentally and that’s fed into the players mentality
They’ve all collectively put the cue on the rack and it shows.
Myler and AP have allowed Grix to toss off this season.

There should be a Club apology but there won’t
There should be a rebound in form but there won’t be

We will get hammered every match until the end of the season
Grix needs to go - he has no professional standards
