There you are - the reason I don't often post on this board. Personal remarks and assumptions. You think that because I don't want to enter into the petty sniping undertaken by some of the people on this board when they encounter a view that they disagree with that I am a silent fan? There is a life and Fax fans away from this board. I don't think that the people I watch Fax with think I am a silent fan.

Just because you post on here does not give you a monopoly on being a Fax fan - remember that there are far more who are not members of this forum than are.

I have said my piece - and it does not look like I am a lone voice - so I'll go back to having conversations with people who want to debate issues.

So, when things go well it's the players that did it. When things go bad it's the coach. Right - gotcha.

This forum is getting more like a cheap tabloid by the minute. People just can't wait to be vindicated over Calland. Many bagged him last year and he (and the players) delivered a trophy and some egg on faces of many a poster on here. Now it's payback time I guess.

Let's get a new coach. Someone nice. Tony Anderson was a nice lad. Let's get him back.

Petty bickering aside the attutide of some players reminds me of when we lost a t Barrow in '84 and Ken Roberts got sacked ( i think). So maybe it is time for a change, I believe Calland has struggled to get consistency but maybe you'll never get that with a team that plays the type of rugby we do. Who knows, but what I do know is - We have one point so far this season and that is poor.

Yes agreed, and we need to work with what we have got to get things right, change change change is not the right thing to do, what u might end up with could be far far worse, a new coach would want to change everthing, then we would get the bull about rebuidling and time to settle.

Keep faith Fax fans, its a marathon not a sprint!

Ok we won somat, and ok we were in the do-do before Martin Hall took on the job. But, have we really progressed as much as we should have?
The one high point for me was the night at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, ok and the 3 days in Toulouse where my urine turned to blood for 3 days afterwards
Thanks to Matt Calland for coaching this side, thanks very much, hes done a fair job. That doesn't change my opinion that i would like a better coach who has more experience and i would like us to be more consistent, it would also be really marvellous if we could make the next 3 years count by becoming organised, consistent, balanced and clear out some of the players and build a fresh young side, I still think were too ragged and poorly coached, regardless of whether we have the ability to turn any side over on any given day. This isn't about bagging Matt because were having 'another' poor run, this is about people wanting the club to progress to the 'next' level, maybe we have gone as far as we can with present imcumbants.
