Gentle getting like Agar and losing the plot?! Dear me.

Wish there was a 'Like' button available on the board.

What's up with McDonnell?

Team:

Lucky Gower isn't playing.

The season isn't over yet.

Maybe some of us expected less improvement this season than others, and are consequently not quite so surprised at the way things are going? Widnes aside we're not far off where I expected us to be right now TBH. Especially given the absence of Ellis, the situation with Seymour, and the number of games Holdsworth has missed.

No Gower for London.

Errrr no i wouldnt as know Whiting can do a job there and if DJ had been fit then Horne would be there but seeing as he is the only fit H/B in the squad he has to stay in the halves.I just think Gentle is making changes for the sake of it...could have gone like for like and IF Crookes has a good game,can see him staying in for friday and Lineham being left out.

Should be more than enough there provided we get stuck in and work hard. A day for drop offs I think

What's happened to Craig Gower?

He's in the pub with DJ.

We know the season isnt over and Losing Ellis is a massive massive blow and we couldnt have foreseen the Seymour saga but we have lost 1 h/b for most likely the season and another 1 is having a lot of problems with his health then why havent we looked at a loan signing like we did last season and there are halfs available but we wouldnt know if we dont ask.As for Gentles selection today,im sorry but it smacks of desperation...he had no qualms about blooding youngsters last season in pressure matches so why not this year??????????????????

He walked on to the pitch.........and drowned. What a shocker!!

Looking at that pitch, more like a day for dropped ball. How on Earth has that been passed fit to play on?

Forgot to add the words 'So Far'.

Don't understand how really ?

Briscoe at f/b and Heremia at 7...both dont work.

Lets just wait and see what happens shall we?

How do we know that we haven't enquired? Or maybe Gentle would rather not get a loan half in for what might only be one or two games? Holdsworth has been close to playing most games he's missed by all accounts, and this latest miss is supposed to be down to a bug rather than any lingering effect of his concussion.

I have no idea why Gentle hasn't played some more youngsters today, but if I had to guess based on his recent comments in the press it's most likely because he thinks we've got enough inexperienced players in the side already. Or maybe he just doesn't think that Shaul and Niklas are ready (in the first instance) or good enough (in the second).

I think the only thing Gentle is desperate about is having DJ on the pitch as it's clear that without him we have no brains out there.

If we win then good but just worries me that we didnt take adaquete cover.

Heremia at 7 I'd agree doesn't work, although personally I don't think that Niklas would be any improvement.

Briscoe at FB worked OK the last time we tried it. And at least he should get his hands on the ball more often in attack.

He was asked on blunderside and he said we will go with what we have got regarding a h/b.

What inexperience...both Crooks and Lineham have enough matches under their belts now to be classed as expeirenced and didnt Gentle extend Shauls contract and have him training with 1st team hence his squad number.

Agree about Holdsworth though.

Honre at 7 and Whiting would have been better.......
