Why is the short kick off amateur? Used judiciously it can be very effective and we've won possession on a number of occasions this season as a result. As for captain, I'm still not sure. The man who would have been captain threw in the towel and wants to leave the club four weeks into the season. Hardly a ringing endorsement of his leadership skills. Who else do you want? A lot would have said Martin, but you've said you wouldn't have extended his contract, so clearly not him. We started with a few really wobbly performances, but seeds sown in pre-season don't necessarily flower in March.

I’d appoint Smith as Captain. Said if before. Short kick off can work, but the way it was used at Wire was shambolic. Don’t get me wrong , there’s enough to be optimistic about, but do think we need to make some changes. Leeming would not have been captain either, was stepped down from that by Rohan. Agreed with that, buy thought he’d be appointing his own choice…..

Wow, some of the comments/posts on here, get a grip.

We still have a new coach with a fairly big player turn over, we where always going to start slow. I predicted we would be 6/4 after round 10. Lets see were we are in round 10-12. Then judge, just remember we were 2/8 last season and looked appalling we are not appalling this year we are massively better, not quite clicking fully yet and inconsistent and plenty of improvement to go, but once the drier warmer weather (which will suit are game better) reckon we will really start to click and start a good run into the play offs again.

Bentley banned again - No complaints really as he did hit him late and Bentley has previous but Millar did milk it for all its worth he was even laughing when they got the penalty.

Bentley - gives his all every game , but bloody brainless late hit costs him another game where we need him on the field.

Absolute garbage. No direction, no line speed giving Cas easy metres. We have such poor tackling technique. Would love to see what is actually coached mid week. Unrecognisable from the Saints game. Martin goes missing again in a game... doesn;t offer much apart from goal kicking for me. Never really rated him. Poor skill level on show by most of the team, like ptb. As said, the halves just go missing. My expectations for the season were somewhat raised after the Saints game which was a great effort. Add into the mix the Leeming situation... Nearly as depressing as watching Eng v France last Saturday! As for the Olpherts effort... an 80 year old granny could have caught that and score... catch it and fall over the line....

England v France game depressing!! It was the most fun thing ever!!

Bit harsh on Martin.

No one came out of that game looking better than poor.
But he was good last year and excellent at saints.
