a friendly win!

He needs to start winning and soon, and it hasn't been a good start by any stretch. The pressure is going to start to mount, but it'd be knee-jerkery to sack him after only 10 games and 6 defeats. IMO. Salford and London become big games now.

No. Can't stand you personally. But didn't expect grand or challenge cup finals. Just competitivness. Like I said before, if your happy with what you just seen, I pitty you!!

Some sort of improvement week on week but that's not happening!I know our players aren't going to win trophies but i work hard for my wages to be served up this rubbish every week that does not deserve my money!

A reminder that we have a trolling thread and that we require at least a pretense of respect for each other's opinions. Cheers m'dears.

I wasn't happy at all but I'm smart enough to accept we're not going to be world beaters overnight.

Seriously, have a word with yourself.

And Fc are??? Be smart enough to recognize that! Fc didn't look world beaters but still there's plenty of trees around need hugging!!

Just admit for once, FC were the better team.

I don't understand this tree hugging comment, is this something you're into?

Spot on,FC were average and still thrashed us,what does that tell you?If their were signs of improvement or youngsters being developed then their might be hope,but i can see neither,nor do i see it being better in 10 games or next season,people need to open their eyes he's not good coach,not a good motivator,not the man for us!

Here's a reality check for you doom and gloomers, he's under contract and we haven't the money to pay him off and employ someone else, he's here to stay, get over yourselves and give the man a chance.

just have to be precious with some people, they don't like confrontation. Bit like yourself. Do you work in Health and Saftey??

Can't beleive a no name coach is on big money?If he is that's another cock up.

Can anyone tell me what he has done these last three months. He's not very pro active with the fans, he doesn't come across with much personallity. And his excuses after a defeat are rather laughable. If Morgan had these results this year, we'd be after his head. What makes sandercock any different??

Whatever he is on, it's false economy to pay him off and employ someone else, the board won't do it and if you think little rants on a message board would change that then you're as daft as the idiots trying to organise a sea of red and white by waving scarves and flags.

i would hazard a guess at their being clauses in the coaches contracts that allow for termination with no sort of compen if results are not good enough...

It will simply be down to how long the current board are willing to let this continue, like yourself, i never expected to see rovers challenging for the upper positions in the table, but like many have become very disappointed with the lack of passion shown out on the pitch.... and this is where the buck stops with the coach, he is the one that is supposed to get the best out of his players.

Fair enough we have had a awful run of injuries too some key players, but so have other teams and they do not consistently put in poor performances like we are at the minute..

This is a results based sport, and simply we have not been good enough....

That you saw a different game to everyone else?

We're at the same stage as last year, in points terms.

Excellent post.

Is that supposed to be ok then?

Pull your tongue out, dogs do that.

It was a response to a post suggesting we'd have had Morgan's head last year if he had the same results, he did and we didn't, at least until the end of the season.

Transitional year, same position as last, about as I expected.

And look what happened to Morgan. Sandercock, you are on borrowed time!!

Bitterly disappointed but no complaints what so ever.

During this season we'll see whether Craig Sandercock can make the successful transition from player development officer to head coach.

I think the individual improvement of many players has been massive since he came to the club yet the overall team performances have been truly erratic.

I'm not so concerned about actual structures in terms of defence & attack etc. but more the fact that the players seem incapable of following instructions.

A forum member text me at half-time to say FC had 8mins more possession in the first half and it doesn't matter how good the players and team are or what attacking or defensive structures are in place, if you concede that much possession then you have next to no chance of winning the game.

Our huge pack has become a double edged sword; if we get our fair share of possession then we can really take teams apart like Huddersfield at home but if we don't then we capitulate and far to often in the open exchanges of games when the team feel fresh, they lack respect for possession a don't build pressure whilst other teams simply play percentages until we run ourselves ragged.

The players lack of patience is really hurting them at the moment and as a result we fail to build pressure which costs us later in the game. All this talk about fitness is nonsense as far as I'm concerned - until the players have patience then these games will be re-occuring.

I'd start by dropping any player who continually concedes penalties like Watts until the players digest what the issue is.

Brains win games and until the players engage their brains then it will be same old, same old because average teams with basic tactics are turning us over because they know our players will cough up possession.

I'm sure he reads here, good one.

Tbf I hate admitting it but fc were really good today turner is sumthing else ur team had passion
