And Fev were lucky as well!

Agree with all of the above! Had the Eagles scored off that last play (albeit he was at least 10 metres offside), then I'm sure we'd all feel very different!

The game against Leigh coming up is massive - if we can win that one, then the whole competition will become very exciting.

I thought we looked very good with the ball, running on to the ball, looking for offloads (need to work on the backing up), but let in a couple of soft tries and (again) dropped off in the last quarter of the game (albeit we did score one in that period to win it!).

Overall, a happy Fax fan today!

One in particular when Tonka broke through ball in his left hand, looking for an offload, no one there, perhaps Karl remembers Sam's silly offload at Batley last year.

Wins breeds confidence and confidence breeds wins!

Bring it on I say!

So do I, it's strange last week after our loss, three people started three different threads within 15 minuets of the final whistle, none of them has started a thread today.

What a great player he is, I remember a night at the Shay when we were told we had signed a new player, every one had their opinion as to who it was, some silly predictions, and at the end of the evening some one said "Andy Bracek?"
Who is he, well he is someone who can do 70 minutes in each game.
Am I alone in thinking Ross Divorty could do with a little more game time?

Just perfect, had a few quid on Sheffield +4 and Halifax win as well.

Feel bad that I haven't been to a game yet but I'm currently out of the country. Looking forward to getting back and taking a seat in the East Stand.

Much better performance in attack today, amazing what a few line breaks such as from Tommy Saxton can do to get us going forward, we have missed that aspect to our game.

Some real determination from our pack and we did dominate a good Eagles side for most of the game.

Things to work on, goal line defence was slack for a couple of their scores, last ten minutes we almost through it away again but we ended up with Potts and Brown defending the right side against Menzie and co when Murrell and Heaton limped off and it showed.

A big effort from the lads today who showed how much it means to them and they deserve our support on that showing.

They do, and hopefully a few more in attendance in a couple of weeks.

You're right there. In my opinion, the better team lost.

We were making our first appearance in our snazzy blue and white away kit, which bore more than a passing resemblance to a 'Fax kit. Unfortunately we chose to look like 'Fax - and play like them!!



As an aside, we struggled all game to cope with Keighley's half backs - Paul Handforth and Danny Jones - remember them?

Lets hope so.

The game is on it's butt for attendances.

Sporting life has the following.

Batley v Doncastor. 691.

Barrow v Workington. 1512.

Dewsbury v Whitehaven. 903.

Featherstone V Rochdale. 2323.

Halifax v Sheffield. 1327. ( 1553 last years league game on a Thursday night. )

Keighley v Leigh. 1309.

Swinto v Crusaders. 587.

Down to third on todays figures.

Batley, Barrow, Dewsbury and Keighley crowds today all increased on last year's corresponding games. No comparison for Fev and Swinton so only Fax showed a decrease.
