You fans turned up in numbers but sorry but your squad looks thin too me. We will see but this isn't the Fax I have seen play certainly since 2004 when you put 50 on us.
Be a long season but sorry to say you were well beaten and played poorly.
Not a wind up it is just what I saw today.'"
Thanks. its good to hear what other clubs fans think.
You are bang on by the way. Looks like an easy win for you lads a week on Sunday, even worse what will Bradford do to us and on TV???

| Next 2 league games are Leigh at home and widnes away. We're gonna be at the bottom of the league after 5 games with only 1 bonus point to our name.
I've said it all along (not on here though) that we've had the sucres of the last 2 seasons despite of Calland, he's taken us as far as he can and his time is up for me, but who we gonna replace him with?? because personally I don't think Ball or Gonzales are up to the job either, Martin Hall back as first team coach maybe???

I think the reason Martin Hall went to the less hands on role he took originally was due to his business commitments, and time he spends abroad. If the club were to replace Calland, it needs to be someone completely new, not rehashing the current set up

| Quote Fax Machine="Fax Machine"I notice how people are getting on Jones' back but I don't see anyone having a go at Black who has been totally anonymous so far this season.'"
I had a go at him in one of my previous posts. Always better to be honest i feel. Like i said this was jones best game for us and all he did was that break, i could have pointed out how poor his last option on their line was late in the game but i chose not to. Black was anonymous for most of the game apart from his break up the middle where he picked up the injury that saw him leave the field. I doubt Jones would have got on otherwise. I do feel for them though, no half backs of any quality can play well behind such a dominated pack.

| THE WAY THAT I SEE IT....WE HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS AT THE MINUTE WITH BOTH ATTACK AND DEFENCE. THE DISPLAY AT SHEFFIELD WAS THE WORST I HAVE SEEN IN ALONG TIME.
WE ARE DEFINATLY RUNNING LOW ON CONFIDENCE, AND THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE QUICKLY!
MC's JOB IS TO COACH AND MOTIVATE...I SUGGEST HE STARTS DOING IT NOW.
3 GAMES IN AND 3 DEFEATS IS TERRIBLE.
WE HAVE LEIGH NEXT, TO BEAT THEM WE HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE SAME INTENSITY AND CONTROL AS WE DID AGAINST FEV IN THE 1ST HALF...IF WE DONT WE WILL GET BRUSHED ASIDE.
IF WE CAN BEAT LEIGH IT WILL BOOST CONFIDENCE AND GIVE US THE CHANCE OF GOING ON A WINNING STREAK.
HOWEVER IF WE DONT WIN, I CAN SEE US LOOSING THE NEXT 3 GAMES AFTER THAT.
COME ON FAX SORT IT OUT!
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! PLAY LIKE THEM!

If a player needs motivating to play for Halifax he shouldn't be playing for Halifax at all!!!

| Quote faxfox="faxfox"Could it be that we reached two Grand Finals (and won one) DESPITE the coach rather than because of him?
It could be argued that, with the players that were available to the coach over the last two seasons, any other coach would have achieved just as much and, if they had sorted out the defence which our incumbant coach seems unable to do, might even have finished at the head of the league table in those two seasons and added a second Grand Final crown.
Who knows? But what is crystal clear is that things are not right with the team / coaching. Something needs to be done, though there are potential pitfalls in whatever transpires.'"
You took the words out of my mouth, I could not agree more.
I very rarely post on this board, but I did yesterday because I was and still am incensed by yet another awful performance from a team that does not look like they are being coached.
rlw, we are all entitled to our opinions and I respect yours, even though I don't agree with them. I'm not interested in personally arguing with anybody here, I just wanted to express my views for a change. Please don't tell me whom I should have faith in and who deserves my backing - those things are up to me and I am happy to agree to differ.
I think we all deserve a lot more from a club that we continue to follow through thick and thin. That's it from me on the subject, thanks for listening.

Never sing when you're winning then?
I'm proud to keep the faith in our coach, the team and the club. Despite very limited resources they've all performed miracles in the last few years, and they've done it with pride, loyalty and obvious ambition AND they made us Grand Final Champions!
You carry on following silently and we'll carry on singing our hearts out to help lead the lads to victory again.

| It has nothing to do with the coach in terms of some of the players attitudes on Sunday. Some players weren't fit to wear the shirt and need to take a good long hard look at themselves in the mirror, they were the reason I left a Fax game early for the first time in my l;ife. I went to every single game and watched every single minute in 2003 where we lost all but one game, I don't mind losing, its when its blatantly obvious that some players can't be bothered to play that gets to me and that's what occurred on Sunday. Is that the coaches fault? Not necessarily. Yes he sets out ther game plan and tries to rally the troops but as soon as they cross the whitewash its the players responsibility and there were several who blatantly took the mickey out of our large travelling support.
Let's say Calland does go, who else is there? Look at when the poopoo hit the fan last year and many fans were calling for his head, it was backs against the wall, we all pulled together and won the league. This could be the wake up call we needed.
One things for sure it will be VERY interesting if we fail to beat Toulouse this weekend...

Its him who is ultimatly responsible for bringing in the playing personell, So in fact if he has brough in people who dont give a fig then only has himself to blame for this lack of desire.
Last year the players not only played as a team but played for each other on that pitch and it showed, Some players have things on their mind but they get paid to do a job and they are not doing it, That doesn't mean winning but the effort has to be there and so far few have showed this. In fact a word i dislike sums up our season so far. WOEFULL !!!!

| Matt brought people in he thinks can do the job, its not his fault if they are playing like they dont want it, things are taken out of MC's hands when the players are on the pitch, what i dont get is when we play well everyone praises the players but when they play back its suddenly the coach's fault. i echo what others have said, last season people called for his head and then he turned it round and him and the lands worked wonders for us. have some faith in them!
