I can't help wondering if bringing back someone who treated the Club and its Supporters so badly has in fact had an unsettling effect on the squad whatever spin the CEO put on it?

Somewhere in Bonny Donny (Twinned with Krakatoa in 1883).

Thank God I'm an atheist.

:lol: Never went....it saved me a walkout!
I forecast this in a previous post....that we would be 18 down before we woke up.
But I was wrong...we never woke up! :lol:

After chatting with forum posters after the match, it was suggested I shouldn’t mention our chances of finishing second in any posts I make this evening! I won’t. We can’t finish any lower than fifth! :oops:

The fact we were thinking about a 40 point win but ended up conceding 41 just about sums everything up. We were disjointed, out-enthused, out-played and flat throughout.

As Wanderer referenced, has the return of Watson Boas had a negative effect on the squad?

Is the fact we’ve got such long breaks between games been an issue?

Is the fact that we have to rearrange games to avoid playing on the Eco-Power pitch at the end of the football season a contributory factor that leads to a lack of continuity?

Anyway, the good news is that S/O wasn’t able to attend today’s debacle. Three guys sitting near me left just after half-time – when Midlands scored shortly after the restart.

After Dewsbury’s win today, here are the current standings:
Dews: 15, 29, +390
Huns: 14, 22, +243
Work: 14, 20, +168
Dons: 13, 20, +123
Oldh: 14, 19, +208
N Wal: 15, 10, +37

Workington have moved into third after beating Cornwall.

Who fancies predicting the handicap line for next Sunday’s game at Worky, then?

PS. Just seen S/O's post... yeh, you wouldn't have made it past 45 minutes!

Look at the reaction of the players after the Oldham away game and then look at todays. What's changed, the dressing room, its obvious there is unrest. I thought that Watson coming back would be a bonus, got to think the opposite now.

Oh well play offs and trips away to Hunslet/ Oldham/ Workington. Not a cat in hells chance of promotion now.

Boas absolutely hasn't been the player he was when he left us but to pin the last 2 defeats on him is very harsh, how about shifting the focus on the guy who has picked him on the last 2 occasions and had had 6 seasons here and we are non the better! Horne has had a meal ticket here over the years and with what I've witnessed doesn't have anything that could make him a decent coach. Will we do what's right and what's needed for the club or should we keep on being an old boys act and a soft club? Think we all know the answer

Not as big a meal ticket as the man above him.

Not on him, on the decision to allow him to return.
