Or fans who have been going for 35 yrs!

Even more reason that it's odd that you feel 'spent' at a midtable side in what's clearly a transistional season, if you been through relagation and near liquidation.

I feel the last 4/5 yrs have been transitional tbf, I love my club but I am fed up right now with all the speculation, poor run of form etc... Even the most loyal fans get fed up however I can assure you I will still be attending for the next 35 yrs if I live that long.

Excellent post. The most pleasing aspect of our start to the season for me was the fact that the team were playing better than I'd expect, whilst now they're worse. Maybe it's the pain we need to go through but there is far too much negativity coming out with only soundbites to try and counter it

Strange game today as wire was there for taking but indicipline and some bizarre calls by Thaler cost us and the Westerman "no" try...looked a try to me.seems to be a lot of trouble in camp as Turner and Westerman was arguing like mad when Tickle kicked the pen and Westerman also had a go at him when wire scored..as did Crooks.

The biggest reason for people's despondent outlook is that when Pearson took over he said that 7th/8th was simply not where the club would be. A year on,and following a very good, promising and engaging start, it's exactly where we still are. Are there many factors involved? Of course. But league position is the bottom line after another first round cup exit and we're no better off so far in this respect. I think we're showing some positive signs and are putting things in place, clearly, but how you feel today is a lot about the here and now. The here and now is poorly managed messages about players leaving, 2 wins from 9, the loss of our best player(s) and staring down the barrel of four more consecutive defeats. For me, in the long term, this is just another year of "jam tomorrow" and it does seem more believable that we will progress. Not everyone has endless patience though. The club also need to stem the damaging haemorrhaging of PR by being clear on who's out, explaining the rationale and drawing a line under it. It's unacceptable to hear about O'Carroll via Twitter.

I wish I was fickle, that way I could pick and choose the team I support, Unfortunately the Grade A club I support are rubbish, apart form the Challenge Cup win and the Premiership in 91 I wasn't alive during the glory years, so definitely not fickle, just frustrated, particularly when your coach sees the positive in losing 40-18 against a a small town in Lancashire.

Cmon mate, youve been a member long enough on here not to get drawn in by fickle fans like her

How the hell can you blame the club for that....he will have done it on his mobile the minute he walked out the ground...how can the club be blamed for that.

Where they questioning Turners defence?

It's a state of affairs when a 18 year old with 8 games under his belt is telling you how to defend.

It looked like it to me mate....was at other side of ground but Turner went missing again,shot out of the line and left Crooks high and dry and he was stood there with his hands as to say "where was you" then Westerman had a go behind the sticks and it carried on....even Seymour was in on it.

You're right it is. O'carroll should have been professional and done it through the proper channels, but I'm not surprised he let it out like he did.

If you're binning a contracted player off, is it outrageous to think we might have a statement prepared? We've had a stream of players rumoured to be going, putting in transfer requests etc. I think the communication has been less than perfect.

Was we binning him though...seems like he was hellbent on going,anyway,just shows how proffesional he was then doesnt it.

If we're a professional club, should we not announce the news ourselves rather than let it be broken over social networks?

Things seem to have gone downhill since pearson was sacked by allam. May just be a co-incidence but the timing is the same

Then drop Turner fck him, he should not wear an FC shirt again, we will finish 7/8 so what does it matter either way.

There is always next year.

It will be interesting to see the tries as Humberside claimed it was young Crooks who shot out of the line twice.

Spot on mrs. B bring back jimmy fool i say.

Crooks was left with a 3 on 1 as his centre had gone walkabout AGAIN.

It should be the clubs new moto.

That was my view as well. Less concerned about Turner going by the week.

I am not disputing what you are saying I was not there so have no idea, however just saying Humberside claimed Crooks shot out twice.

Thing is, even though Turner is leaving at the end of the year, the only replacement that we have is Arundel who is also pretty inexperienced so we may not see great improvements made in that aspect.

All we had to do was hold the line but Turner shot out and left 3 runners and crooks didnt stand a chance....dont know what the other one was as1 was a charge down and other was spreading ball wide.
