worst performance in 10 years of watching. first time my dad has walked out of a game in 50 years, left 20 mins early. nothing but an average team with a few big names that are not interested cos thier wage is thier for next two yearscant blame outside backs ball never gets to them, black isnt interested, beswick is less than useless, wouldnt have penky in ellands team, bannister is the invisible man oh and what a joke £40 for a car park pass to be turned away because it full

if halifax can mess up they will do club is a joke !! rant over


=#FF0000Thread Title Changed as it seems to be where all the discussion is

totally agree and things are just gonna get worse, three games in 7 days, will Matt Caland last the week ?

Why was thare a massive queue to get in?

we showed our pass and wastold we couldnt park thier because the car park was full

Whilst he was not outstanding, thought Blach had his best game of the season so far

Have we already come to depend on Branhigan as much as we did Holly?

all black did today was organise for 4 forwards to drive the ball up if we got to the fourth that is

Black is clearly injuryed and i would have said in the first half he was one of the better few. He needs to be rested to recover from injury next weekend

Are you joking? His passing was shocking. Generally our passing and distribution was the worst I have seen for a long time. Azue can begger off for me too. He came with an attidute and he thought he was too good for this league and for us. He's done nowt since he signed and wasn't even watching the game when he was sat on the bench. Didn't give a toss.

Blacks passing was poor, however i feel a bit sorry for him because he can barely walk half the time! He should not be playing because of his injury. Anyway there are plenty of other people accountable for the defeat.

I feel sorry for Royston, Patterson and Goddard today who all put in half decent performances

the team, Gene had trouble with his knee. Black was half fit and spent most the game Defending out on the wing..

the forwards only take the ball up maybe 2 tackles out of the 6 at the most.

we didnt have enough in the forwards, half fit backs, Penky sinbinned deserved not suprised he was angry though playing like that today.

Where was Bowman? not even selected.

we missed Brannighan we really did.

He was ill.

Didnt stop him from being out on the raz last night if the rumours are true.

Blacks passing this season has been awful, too high, too low, behind the man, its a basic skill.

the problem is with our playmakers, they all think they have to spin the ball at 300mph into someones stomach and those passes come off maybe 1 or 2 out of 20, we can pass the ball soft as well.

we pass the ball when the players are close to collision as well, so as soon as they get the ball there in the tackle.

sure i saw him out on thursday night aswell, in acca, maybe thats why he's ill

although we had little to offer in attack the sort aspect for me is the defence, or lack of it. 42 put past us by a 12 man championship 1 side and 48 today. It beggars belief. Oh and where has the team spirit gone? They even entered the field to "fax on fire" hah

To be honest i felt that playing that song as we waited to kick off was a bit cheesy and conceited, not on the scale of the country mile comment but in the same area, plus to then get hammered makes it even worse. Maybe before the game yes pre entertainment but not when the players are on the pitch kicking off, made me slightly cringe.

Should be no need for Spin passing unless missing players out-which is rare. What happened to the 6 o´clock pass that are the basics of passing?

Just heard Calland on the Radio and saying certain players are "in last Chance saloon". Well Matt you wanted then here and signed them on 2 year contracts. So them words are for me meaningless. Are we going to sell them? Who to?Are we going to release them? Again thats just wasting money! We have the option of loan players-but whilst every other team gets them we dont bother! Matt look at the source of the problem-Coaching, attitude and discipline on and off the field! not just say players are in last chance saloon.

was not very impressed by leigh, yes they did basics right and not many errors, but to me they were a very ordinary side.
which makes fax worse than ever.

Some of the PLAYERS are in Last Chance Saloon!

I think Matt Calland has had a permanent table reservation for some time now and the time has come for him to settle his bill and do the honourable thing.

I thought so also, they were just enthused over a poor team. I can't believe it took them half an hour to score, it should have been way more than 48.

Is that not the problem, Bowman , who else ?

Is History repeating ?

Dont fret, we were poo last week and terrific yesterday.

Beswick, Cherryholme and Aizue for me. Bowman is a good player who puts the work in usually.

It took them 30 min to tire our fowards out, then it was easy for them. Except for big Frank our pack looked too old and slow, unable to cover in defence and no punch in attack.
The worrying thing is other than a couple of players the team today was the same as the one that was scoring for fun last year.
Today we had no idea. Our body language before the kick off was poor and got worse through the game. if the players can not be bothered then they can't expect the fans to shell out £15+ to watch them.

And long may Championship sides consider us to be 'very ordinary'!
