Yes Millwards idea of completion rates, good kicks, tight defence and discipline is no match for our headless, rudderless ill disciplined passing at peoples heads or knees, running across the pitch and waving players through in defence, what on earth are Leigh playing at icon_lol.gif

a026.gif Calland out a026.gif hall out. Too much time drinking and not enough planning. We have one move in attack which now we cant pull off as every other team knows it and even if shad does hit the cap the pass does not get to him

Karl Harrison in a014.gif . he will sort them out and stop the drinking. He will also get rid of unfit dead weights ( a026.gif Larder )

and how many times did we try it you must be a fool if you think we are going to do anything this year if it carries on like this.

as for saying sacrifising the NRC for the challenge cup and the league. You are a fool. No way can we win challenge cup and even if we get a good run in it, it means nothing for super league license.

Calland only knows how to drink. End of icon_iamwithstupid.gif

I'm not going for the knee-jerk reaction of calling for Calland's head, nor am I going to be a defender of his anymore. It was his and the players chance to turn things round today and show we aren't as fragile as we were last year, and what do we do?.....

When we went on our slump last year and couldn't create anything who did we have at half back? Penky and Black. Who we our half backs today? I rest my case. Our only points came when Penky went into dummy half where he should ALWAYS be.

The players look absolutely shot of something, maybe its a deju vu of the players playing Linnane out, I don't know. What I do know is, out of my 17/18 years of supporting Fax I can't remember two games where we have played so devoid of any ideas, passion, desire and honesty. I'd have felt robbed if I paid to get in today, I still won't get my 5 hour round trip back neither.

Something has to change in the on-field side of things (players and coaches), and quickly.

May have already been said but:

I believe Calland has taken us as far as he is able now.

Yes he has done great things for this club, but it's time for him to move aside IMO.

He does make some silly decisions like playing Black today, when he was clearly injuried! Signs of an inexperienced coach.

And it did stand out today, how far Leigh have come under Millward. Look around, clubs like Batley and Leigh, bring in a quality coach and boom sucess.

Huge respect for Calland though. eusa_clap.gif

For me Calland needs to get down to the touchline once in a while and show some enthusiasm rather than standing at the top of the stands all game.

I’m not one for calling for the coaches head usually, however as has been said earlier has he taken us as far as he can.

I just don’t know

If you ask me I see it this way, last season we had gone through a major recruitment drive, for the first half of the season the players won games through sheer individual talent, then as they fell into the routine at fax be it whatever it is they started to lose their individual ability and thats when your coaching comes in, and thats when it showed a problem, so by the time it got to the end of the season we had players who were neither coached but had also lost their individual ability which had made us look so good first half of last season, we just scraped through into the grand final, got hammered by Barrow in the semi when it looked like it was boys against men, and now this season we have continued from last season, scraping a win against batley and widnes does not mask things, even in them games we looked poor and they were scrappy wins.

Now we are left with a team who have no idea and do not know what comes next, last season especially the 2nd half our defence was woeful, this season its just as bad, apart from a good run against sheffield on our own line for a few set of sixes if I remember.

Calland was on the Radio saying that the 17 was the only 17 we had fit. Well what I cant understand is why have we NO Dual Reg or Loan players? Every other club has. Why do we have such a small squad. Why no reserves team to keep players fit. Why was Gene not at 6 and Beswick at 13 and Penky at 9? Gene has a lot of experience at 6. Beswick is crap at 9 and way better at 13 and Penky is best at 9 and sadly cant play 6. I just do not understand the way we are doing things. Maybe somebody else can explain the decisions.

That wouldn't have happened twenty year ago - when players only got paid for playing. Does anyone remember Karl Harrison (random example for a workhorse) taking so much sick time? I know the game has got more intense but sometimes the commitment from players is lacking. Cavill Heugh with a hangover played twice the game that our lot did today.

I get the impression that the talent is there in the team and they are all trying too hard. Trying to score off every play, running around like headless chickens and not defending as a team.

Look at the squad we have. The team that we put out today should have put plenty on Leigh. Injuries don't cut it for me. Which other players would you bring in that could improve things?

The team is too dependant on superstar playmakers who are not playing with each other and it seems we have too many playmakers on the field at any one time. 13 for me is a position that should be a runner, not a pivot and should look and run like a forward.
