| Yes we have won 3 from 3 but how dull is it to watch? One man rugby, the wingers don't get to touch the ball, it's all through the middle.

| But does the state of the pitch not dictate sadly that style for now? Theres no point throwing it around in wet and cold conditions and the pitch is very soft. Though I do feel the kicking could and should be better at times

| I know what you are saying but we don't seem to have a clue in attack, yes the ground is soft but it was a dry day so we should have been able to move the ball about a bit. The weather didnt stop Batley, Sheffield and Swinton sticking 40/50 past there opponents

| Meh, thought at times we passed the ball around a bit and looked decent but its the same old same old. Our halfs arnt good enough and we need hooker. I rate Heaton as a player but its blatantly obvious that his passing technique is very limited which means Worrincy or whoever is on his wing will not touch the ball.
Still we are 3 from 3 though.

| So basically in the 4 key positions in the side only 1 of them is good enough . Heaton is a decent enough player but how you can have the lad play centre when he can't even pass a ball....

Only problem is? Swindon went down at home by 32 points.
The pitch slowed us down, in the second half Manning rec'd the ball on the 22, and immediately his footing sank a good three inches and slowed him down.
Doesn't make a difference that the ground is dry, so is the Sahara and you couldn't run very fast in that, unless Abdul was after you.
Keep the faith. Leave the moaning to the Town "fans"

I wasn't at the game today (Been in Afghanistan since October last year) so can't comment on how we are playing, other than read reports and catch the odd bit of Radio Leeds on the net. But i notice your comments on the one man rugby, not moving the ball, up the middle etc etc. I also noticed your Man of the Match votes. 1st Fieldhouse and 2nd Handforth. Surely they must be doing something right if MoM 1&2 goes to a back and a half back???
This isn't me havin a go, like i said, not seen any games this season.
Looking forward to catching a game over Easter!!!

| Think back a couple years. Everyone went to the Shay and was excited. Ok a few games that should have been won were lost but we were entertained. Oh and we won the Final that matters. In comes Karl to much acclaim. We win a final.
We all new his team would be organised, enthusiastic and win more games than lost. So we thought that KH`s template added to Fax Flair would give a team the equal or beating of Fev etc. Unfortunately he has removed the spontaneity and flair and now we know (and probably every coach in the Championship) that its one up , one miss pass out, one reverse pass , one up and kick. A winning formula? Maybe but i get more fun watching Eastenders and that is the most miserable show on tv. All i can hope is that the team keeps grinding out the wins or the crowds would plummet.
It isnt just me who was bored silly today I spoke to quite a few who felt the same.
I watched every game we lost the season 77/78 ago and was at Huyton to finally see a victory and i have to say i was still looking forward to each game, but not too sure about next week. Maybe i am just getting old and cynical.

Yes John, been in the Army 20 years. 3rd time out here.
I never miss a game when i am home. And today I actually got to a phone and rang my son at half time. He was at the game with a couple of my mates. Looking forward to my R&R and getting to a game over Easter.

Very proud of you all, tell your mates, Halifaxjohn sends his admiration and regards, when they say "who the f**k is Halifaxjohn, tell them he is one of thousands who thank you all for what your doing.
Return home safely to your families, all of you.

| I think you should all follow your coach and say well done to Keighley for a decent job done on an awful pitch.

And that is pretty much the reaons I didn't go today, oh, and the fact we were playing a March coached Keighley. The fact is that i wan t to be entertained and I'm not being, yes I want us to win but at the moment I'd rather take a win and stay at home as I was bored to tears against Sheffield.
Hopefully I will be reinvigorated for the next match but we need to do something and it needs to start with renmoving Handforth.
