From an outsiders point of view fax's problem seems to be that they are paying players (most think are the best in the league) too much money to secure their services (gleesongate springs to mind) adn although you have a bigger fan base than say fev, it means that you literally can't afford a second team...... this has a knock on effect when you get injuries like you have now and all moan about bare bones (when you openly say you want a play off team not a second team) it goes with the territory... we now have 6 first teamers injured or unavailbale for the forseeable but we've got the back ups in the team below.........all well coached and know their job when they step up

Maybe you should get a better coach who can turn so called lesser quality players in a table topping team, save some money on the "names" and OAP's you sign and run a second team

Simples

however Spanish Bob, i feel beacuse the paint on the roof of the skircoat stand is light grey instead of Blue and white the boad and coaching staff should be sacked, they have no paission, this lack of color schemeing shows it!

We could afford it but decide to spend it on alleged top players! Do you think Gene and Aizue have been cheap? We do not need a Sugar Daddy to beat Fev, Hunslet and Dewsbury-but we cant even manage that despite having more money than those clubs. We do need a second team as then the likes of Roberts, Bowman, Fleming, Cherryholme would atleast be getting game time and match fitness and not just sat around doing nothing! Where is the incentive for a player when he never gets to play except maybe 4 or 5 times a year? How do you brng the young players through like Fleming when you have no Reserve or Academy team for them to play in? Its now how much you spend its what you spend it on.

In answer to your last question, the SL clubs farm the lads out. You don't develop into a 1st team player by playing in the stiffs, totally different game.

Even though I didn't expect you guys to lose, I would have expected Dewbury to run you close.

They play some good stuff and are in a false position IMHO.

Plenty of time yet. Leigh have some massive games (all away) in July, and your game with Barrow is huge for all clubs in the top 4.

Its a great league. Keighley played some good staff against Leigh at times too apparently !

Keighley aren't a bad side, They'd be above Whitehaven and Dewsbury if they hadn't started on -9,
