As for being downbeat, it's understandable when you think that since that run of three wins in four games last summer we have won just three games out of twenty-eight and one of them was a last minute win.

Sensible post, hard to be upbeat currently. I genuinely see us struggling Saturday, I hope I’m proven wrong.

Knock what on the head. As some on here say. It's my opinion. I'm allowed that. Ps Never said Jake was.

Anyway on to Sat. Be close but I'm tipping us for a win

I'm going for us to come away with a close win, something along the lines of 24-18 in what may become a scrappy low-quality affair.

In fact, in truth, I think it might benefit us if the game does turn scrappy! If it was to turn into an open 'you score one, we'll score one' sort of game, I'm not sure we would emerge the victors, seeing as how we're not exactly noted for our open expansive game in 2024

I'm always more nervous about the games where I think we're in with a chance as opposed to the ones where we know it's a simple case of keeping the score down. To lose to London twice in three months would be embarrassing for all concerned.

Yes it’s been hard to be upbeat all season. Default is easy. It’s no help to a struggling club of which we are part. The future always provides hope and Myler is doing that. The results obviously won’t be immediate but everyone apart from the blind can see chinks of light if only they are willing to reset

That statement is the epitome of misery. Our forwards look miles better than of late, backs not bad. Granted halves not great but provides more experience for next season. Don’t go into motivational speaking. Hey come on be a bit more upbeat there are good reasons to be so

Well see who's right on Saturday. Unfortunately I've seen many, many games where we should have won and haven't.

If I were a rovers fan I'd have to be the most patient fakester in the country after 17 years

Re: London calling : Thu Aug 15, 2024 8:39 pm  

Despite a pitiful season I think we will win this one, pack will be too strong, 32 -16 for me, then straight back to my local in Pudsey and no trip on the M62, heaven

Unfortunately I'm pessimistic regarding tomorrow, I find it hard not to be at times.
I can't see anything other than a London win.
They'll be buoyed and confident by their victory over us and win over Catalan.
I think their spine is better organised and they never stop trying, playing with enthusiasm.
It will be a battle of attrition and desire tomorrow and I'm not sure we have enough.
The pressure is all on us.

The discipline has remained constantly poor and the error count hasn't improved either which in it's self creates more pressure on ourselves during games . A lack of any leadership , direction and game savvy compounds any attacking threat we try to come up with , Also we've hardly put in a full eighty mins all season so I don't expect any of these to change on Saturday . I think London will win by a couple of scores
