Well said Belly. Let's hope the coaching and playing staff read this. DC/MC et al have worked wonders to keep this club alive and the likes of Snowie and his merry band of volunteers have worked wonders on the ground improvements. It's about time that on field displays echoed this attitude.

I agree with the majority of what you say and wholeheartedly agree with the spirit of what you say.
The Sts match v Leeds showed exactly what could be achieved.

I don't agree with targetting games though. Spell players yes if they need it, but the team needs to be battle hardened and playing as a tight unit. Giving people a free ride to the perceived easier games won't do that.

On the Siejka question I would say, if he wants to play, he plays hooker. He has to learn quickly because we will need him. And I'd prefer to not move Godinet.

Excellent post and one i am pretty much in full agreement of. The fancy stuff can be tried 30 meters out from the opposition line but when coming out of our own half simplicity is the key. Despite what some on here would like to believe this team is a relegation possiblity and needs to accept that so they can set their mindset accordingly and get into a battling mentality.

One note though thanks to the genius move by our coaching staff Wildie, Walshaw & Trout can't play for us until the first 28 days of their loan is completed, so are out of contention for a while. I agree with targeting various games but not making wholesale changes for the sake of it. But if a player is carrying an injury, like Kirmond is at the minute, then he should be rested for the Leeds games in order to get him fit and firing for the key games ahead.

I have taken the day off work on Sunday, so me and the missus will be going down to Belle Vue. My brother is hoping to bring a couple of friends down with him from Knaresborough, who have never been to a match before. Do we honestly think we are going to win - no we don't, but here's the thing- there is always the hope that we might.

Me, SWMBO and my bro' have all been supporting the (not-so) Mighty Trin for over 100 years between us, and will continue to do so until we are physically unable to. We don't expect the players to win every game, and we know that we are highly unlikely to ever see a repeat of the inspirational feats of the likes of Neil Fox, Harold Poynton et al (a few years before our time admittedly). All we want to see in return for our hard-earned cash is the players who have the privilege of pulling on the famous red, white and blue shirt, to be proud of that fact and give 100% effort, 100% of the time, week-in, week-out, because if they can't be bothered to do so, then they are not fit to wear that hallowed shirt, and are indeed insulting the memory of those great individuals that have gone before.
On paper, this squad is the strongest I have seen at Belle Vue for a considerable number of years, and the potential is there for us to be nowhere near the relegation battle come the end of the season. But that will ONLY happen if the players put the effort in for 80 minutes each and every week, and show us what they are capable of. If they are not prepared to do that, then hand over the shirt to those waiting in the wings that are.
Now is the time to start righting a few recent wrongs before it is too late.

GENTLEMEN.....OVER TO YOU !!!!!

the answer is: The Terrace... and thats where we always stood!

It also helps that we are all in it together, with the supporters been part of the set up, as in backing our team & not bagging them at every opportunity.
