What is going on at the Shay? for the first time I am looking forward to the end of the season!

P!ss poor today. How can the coach expect the backs to have any confidence when they don't know if they are going to be dropped from one week to the next!! Murrell looked better today, and Handforth had a reasonable game. It's hard because Rhino was my first 'hero' when I started watching the game, and he may be Halifax through through, but IMO things have gone backwards on the pitch over the last 2 years. Dull, boring, lifeless one out rugby, no wonder the crowds are falling

The talk around the stands is not good. Fans are pretty peed off at what they're watching. Its dull and lifeless and it's turning people off. Dumb dumb rugby..

Harrison and his coaching staff have took the club as for as they can. I don't think we will improve much with new players on board.
Time for the club to have some balls and forget sentiment and mutually agree a release. The fans I speak to are more apathetic as the season goes on. Nobody was actually that bothered about today's result. They should be.

Well I have to agree that it was a really poor performance today, our club seams to have hit he self destruct button. The BOD need to take a real look at the issues and sort them out fast. Supporters are turning away in droves and who can blame them when the on field performance is so poor.

Even playing boring rugby we can't get the basics right, too many errors, poor completion rate, giving away too many penalties.

Can KH turn it around? I am not sure.

I have never heard so much discontent as today.
Should Karl be making an honest statement as to what is wrong and how he intends to correct it.

Harrison was / is one of my all time Fax favourites but his coaching record leaves a lot to be desired anywhere he's been. His teams have always played poor rugby. Sentiment aside we need fresh ideas and impetus quickly, rumours of inner back biting and player squabbles seem feasible although a team on its ar$e is going to point the finger.....

I'm sick of watching this utter rubbish and a team that resembles the keystone cops. Harrison please do the right thing and make way for someone who can take us forward as unfortunately you are killing us....

I'm bored. Next Sunday I'm on holiday with Wifey and I'm not even flinching at missing a home game.

Wake me up when we get to the GF.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hey LR for you to be non plussed or god forbid not positive things must be dire....

Yup... They're dire....

You must be going for one helluva long holiday littlerich as way things are it won't be the GF this year!!!! Have a good holiday. No doubt you will see a report next week of Batley A v Batley B result

You seem a little obsessed in regard to the ex-Batley players in your squad. I suppose they're entirely to blame for every poor result you have.

To be honest it isn't just the ex Batley players (in fact there are a few good ones amongst them) but the style of rugby we play via KH is very similar to what they used to play and its a tad boring and won't win us anything! Also sometimes it's not always healthy having a large contingent of ex players in the same dressing room re team spirit/ alleged cliques etc.
I am sure next week that we shall see which Batley players are on it!!!!!!

So there I were watching us hammer Donny, I fall asleep for what must have only been 20 minutes only to find out we had drawn.

We look a team devoid of any confidence where any flair players we do have dont know whether they are coming or going because they are playing one week then dropped the next. Next week we will see again chops and changes to players that, admitedly arnt playing that great but certainly arnt the worst culprits, when we see Tyrer back in for Sheriffe, Patto back in for Fieldhouse and whatever other changes to the team avoiding where the actual problems are at half back and hooker.

We need a coach similar to Powell or Aston who actually manages to get the best out of their players and where you see improvement in their games. Anyone of our players stand out as getting better this year?

We did play a dour style of Rugby with those players, but I suspect, as you are finding out, it's more to do with someone else who was at our club and is now at yours.

at the start of the season I said I don't mind reserved rugby if it gets results against the top teams or at least makes us competitive. Well its clear the style we play cant compete with the top teams or teams around us and now it seems we struggle against so called lower opposition. This was very much like Batley used to be, a 4/5th placed team who just could never make the step up to compete with the bigger teams. Well we have Batleys ex coach and a few of their players so should be no surprise we are now the "new" old Batley.

Comments that Karl made after the Fev at home game about it not mattering now infuriate me, it does, look at the crowds, and all this has a knock on affect for next season, budget etc. You don't see other top teams saying ah never mind it doesn't matter. We have gone forwards off the pitch but on it backwards just as the door to super league maybe opened a bit more.

Whats happened to the likes of Fieldhouse, Worrincy etc, exciting players who are a shadow of their former selves, all down to our style and coaching. I question the fitness of a few of our players who need to decide if its a hobby or a professional sport they play. You should want to be the best you can be no matter what level you play at, not just do the bare minimum. Fact is for a club the size of Halifax and with the resources we have we are massively under performing on the pitch.
