was he playing with an injury?????? he just didnt seem to want to run tonight.
i counted 2 times he ran with the ball in the whole game.

it was the same performance though we dont seem to learn, we didnt use the forwards enough, we knocked on too many times, too many high tackles. our disapline is awful.

the ref tonight i actually though was consistent to both sides most of the time.

we just never turned up tonight,

Not his best night but players do have them...

Black put in a couple of good kicks early on but i after his knock on his disappointment showed.

The amount of danger passes he put in tonight was unbelievable. Wasn't the only one who had a bad game though.

thought he was the invisible man ,was he playing

CRAP THREAD !

why is it????, its a fans forum,

am not blaming the defeat fully on him am just saying he didnt do a lot of running tonight

he ran under the posts for one...

It's a fans forum for fans, AND.........
Try giving a bit of credit to the opposition, try thinking about Blacky overcoming his foot injury, why target Ben Black ? try thinking....

I can't think of two more contrasting performances in less than a week.

Against Dewsbury he was buzzing and took the line on at every opportunity and looked like his old self again. Tonight he was totally pedestrian, apart from his kick for Worrincy from the scrum I couldn't see anything he did tonight that Bowman couldn't have done and improved . It was not like he was defended out of the game like Shad was either, he didn't even bother taking the line on, just caught and passed the ball straight on in nearly every instance.

Very disappointed and frustrated because we all know what he can do and if he had shown his form from the Dewsbury game we would have had a much better chance.

i never said anything about the opposition, they were good but we had some good attacking positions too and Black for me didnt do do enough running across the line looking for hole's in the defence.

am not specifically targeting him, if you read for first post and read all of it instead of just assuming from the title of the topic then you will see i mentioned the rest of team too.

he's overcoming his foot injury, it didnt seem to bother him too much when he ran from the left to the right and then back again to score his 2nd try on sunday.

am not blaming it all at the door of Ben Black, he just didnt do enough running too and ALL of the people i was stood with at the game agreed with what i was saying as well.

the full team tonight though never really turned up

oh no Marillion man someone agrees with me, it must be just still me though

Pardon me ?????

Crikey MM, no one was putting sole blame on Black. It was just a bit strange how Black didn't even attempt to run it in.

Didn't he ?
