Wouldn't fancy us at all on a dry track but Sunday will be heavy and Leigh lack stomach judging by their Barrow result.

To get owt from this game i think we would need for Leigh to be poor again. That's a sad statement to make but I can't see many positives after the dire performance at Rochdale. A lack of recruitment, injuries, DR and Richard Marshalls tactics are well and surely showing in displays and results on the field.

Pete, our own performances have been very sketchy all season, we seem to build up a decent lead then sit back and let the opposition attack us, which is fine if you have a good defence, at the moment the Leigh defence is very fragile,this game could go either way, I'm only tipping a Leigh win because I very rarely tip a loss for us.But the result will be very close, as has been said a dry pitch will suit Leigh, a wet one will suit Fax, I'm going for a 2 point Leigh win.

The thing is a 2 point win for Leigh would be another defeat for us. I was particularly unhappy when RM said we will get up to speed as the season went on. Every other coach was quite rightly stating the importance of getting off to a good start, not ours! We simply can't afford to lose on Sunday and , unfortunately, I can't see any other outcome. I hope I'm wrong.

We'll never get up to speed anyway with chopping/changing personnel depending on who Powell's wants us to use week by week.

Well..interesting 19 man squad.Is Heaton to get a chance at wing with no pointless DR back this week ? Gadwin Springer only DR at least he offers something potentially other than the basic ordinary forwards we've had already.

Aye but he'll still have to get used to our moves and calls. No cohesion.

That would suggest that we have some moves and calls to get used to!!

Fair points. Lol!

All teams use the same moves, just different names, will take him about 10 minutes to get up to speed.

Mmm?

Not sure about that Nat. Our 'new' squad have played five games together now, plus two 'friendlies' and are still playing as though they have never met each other before!

If it was an half involved you would have thought it would be harder for him being a play maker.

With it being a forward reading plays may mean just putting in some one out carries and good defence.
It's just swapping one apple for another apple and is unlikely to make much of a difference to the way we play anyway.

Well I predicted a hard game, and was wrong , Fax played extremely well and fully deserved to win,it's getting harder week by week being a Leigh fan , we won't be in the top 4 at the end of the season, Barrow beat Leigh, Rochdale beat Barrow, I fear we are in free fall, however I will be there all season and next whoever is in charge or owns the Club.
