Exactly this ^

While I am looking forward to our visit to the Shed Stadium next week, it really could go either way.
We are massively wrecked by injuries *especially in the backs* more injuries today & 10/11 players out.

As I have said on our board, 8th now, but I expect that to improve as the season goes on.

Please, turn up in numbers next week, it could be a real humdinger of a game & the atmosphere when our
sides meet is usually electric.

C U there.

OK.

We didn't really click until the summer bash last season, see you down the shay

Championship is buzzing atm

Miles will be back very soon at fullback, when he is it will give us a better idea if and how RM intends to fit Johno, Scotty and Gaz in the side.

Maybe a little bit harsh but I can totally see where you are coming from. The way we ended the season and the performances in the middle 8's, are a long way off what we are producing at the moment. We set the bar really high and I expected us to kick on this season instead after only 5 games we will have our work cut out to make the top 4. Again I get what people are saying about it been early days but our problem this season is that its not Leigh and Bradford that are topping the table which will happen by the end of the season. Instead other teams who are in the mix for the other 2 places have set off like a house on fire and we have to hope their performances drop as the season goes on.

It all seems a bit willy nilly at the moment and I know we were crying out for expansive rugby but there has to be a happy medium and at times yesterday some of the offloads were crazy, like we had hardly had the ball and a scrum 10 metres out and Sharp tries to offload the ball in a 3 man tackle when we just needed to do the hard yards, London pick the ball up and score, again summing up our season so far.

I don't think Cokey means anything malicious by it Robin just bad timing banter on the Fax board.

On the Leigh board like we all do he will passionately defend anything related to his club right or wrong, although how anyone knows what is right or wrong at Leigh just now who can say?

That must have been a cracking game against Dewsbury yesterday, I bet the full roller coaster of emotions were on display again.

We have to improve massively to get to the standard we were at at the end of last season.Even that standard was well short of what was needed,so as the o/t says..gonna be tough now..

We just need to settle down, it's a tough division this year and that will set up whoever makes it in to the Super 8's. We can still get in there we just need to start winning, a lot easier said than done but I'm sure we have the personnel to achieve it.
Not sure what Bracek has done to constantly be left out, he's not going to set the world alight but his solid work allows others to flourish, still not sure about Barber and now without Divo.
How did Bennion go yesterday?

Bennion looked pretty good, a couple of big hits and took some stopping so a pretty good first outing.

Excellent, cheers for that.

You are quite right faxcar.

Oh I know Cokey means nowt.
You've know me and have read my drivel for long enough to know it has to be a serious issue for me to take it seriously.
Yesterday was a bloody good game where both teams wanted to play but were inhibited by a pedantic, whistle happy ref who is inexperienced and spoiled what could have been an absolute cracker.
Sometimes the ref has to judge the effort, conditions, intent etc and let a game go... both sides were crying out for it.
It became quite frustrating at times.
However, £350 win on the golden gamble made a very good win an even better afternoon!!!

Was at the game yesterday cannot keep giving away cheap penalties like we did, why gaz moore has to miss 2 or 3 players out every time he passes is beyond me the simple ball would have gave us 2 easy tries. Jonno needs to be in the halves we carry hardly any threat without him there probably put connor in at half back with scott missing dont know whats going through marshalls head at mo cant he see that the partnership with muzza and moore isnt working. Anyway lets look forward to the win this weekend hopefully if not lets get some points on the board against pilks

Just got back tonight and to be honest the game spoilt a really good trip and after watching the video I am saddened by what I saw, poor tackling for 3 of their tries where has that tough defence gone? Yer we scored some good tries but we gave away 2 silly penalties that cost us the game.
We lack ideas when we get a set of six near the opposition line which is like when Karl was coach dare I say which gives me no pleasure at all, come on lads we can do better than this surely???
Adam Tangata played really well and Scott was a Trojan as ever and did well for both his tries but why oh why play Adam Robinson against a fit full time team on a fast 4G pitch?? I like Adam but he was just a fringe player this season for me so playing him in a key game was a shock really. Our kicking game has gone to pot too as that pitch had a slope which the ball ran off quickly that they used well in the first half yet we never tried kicking to the bottom touchline at all second half, so lots to sort out and I am sure we will but after Batley I was hoping we would reverse that result by beating London which we could have with better application.
No idea about next Sunday as right now we are miles off the pace but their fans are saying they have a load of injuries to key players but I think Leigh will have too much firepower for us sadly.
Its worrying as we cannot rely on a late season run like last year that could have been a one off, we need to start improving now, its up to the players as I am sure Richard is giving them the right tools for the job!

Surprised more people aren't agreeing with you on this, we had more money to play with than we've had for years and yet we're seeing nothing of benefit from it. Is it even staying in the club or is it being used to pay debts, get the rent farce sorted and boost the BOD's own bank balances?

We were in a position to really kick on, but we've under invested in the playing staff. We're also seeing the down side to an inexperienced coach, Marshall did great last season but he's over thinking things this time and just throwing the ball around trying to score worldy tries is costing us each week. He needs to pick the best team and get back to rugby basics, stop believing his own hype before it's too late.

Spoken like a true fcht supporter!

Wow! we're Doomed I tell ya Doomed

And you joined the forum yesterday. Erm.......right.

Aye. Slagging the BOD, coach and captain just about fits.

Pretty mild when you compare it with the DS lies, an innocent wheelchair bound bloke who him and his family supported Town as well as Fax for years, that's how low some of them can go.

Binns and gone hopefully.

There's a couple of them on here. Nowt but cretins.

Erm yeah thanks for the abuse. For what it's worth I'm a season ticket holder for both football and rugby.
As an older chap I'd not bothered that much about forums over the years, maybe I was right not to.

Does the fact that I don't believe all is wonderful right now and that I have genuine concerns about not just this season but the ones coming up make me a cretin then? Or does it just mean I care.

There's a well known rugby hater oh the FCHT board called Bobbins....Robert Binns

rumbled......
