An analogy from the real world;
I am an IT Technician. Part of my job is to fix Apple Macs and PCs.
Let say I can fix PCs fine but I am hopeless with Apple Macs. My employer will train me and give me time to learn.
If after three years I still can’t fix Apple Macs they will sack me, irrelevant of how good I am at fixing PCS. Its not the Apple Mac's fault for breaking in the first place, its my job to fix it.

PCs= Attack.
Apple Macs= Defence.

Thanks for getting us this far Matt but its time for a change. Let a new coach come in and build the team for next season.

Agree mate. He has had enough time and chances. Time to look for somebody who can read the game in defence not just attack. Time for some discipline in the side. Time to have a Coach who can takes us to winning Trophys. Thanks Matt for your time and effort but you need to leave. Jack Gibson always said never stay anywhere more than 3 years. Either you hate them or they hate you!!!

Well, I've been a staunch supporter of Matt. I'm wavering .........

If we want a home tie in the play-offs and if we want to give ourselves a chance of the GF we have to be despatching clubs in the bottom half of the table.

No chance of a home tie, ive been saying for ages our position in the table is flaky. When Celtic and Salford were in the league we were genuinely the best of the rest. We've slipped back into the pack now, not progressed. Its very sad and clear Matt can't push us on.

The difference between the two teams today was that Dewsbury were more hungry for the win. Both teams 'tried', but when it came down to giving that little extra, it was the Rams that gave it.
If Matt cannot squeeze that extra something out of the players, then we are going to lose these close run games and as most teams in this league can run each other close, then it is likely that we are going to lose more than we should be.

Matt needs to sort it out, otherwise it may well be time for him to realise his time in charge of Fax is running out.

we need to tighten up for the play offs, that has been said many times before, i just dont think Calland knows how though.

we give to mnay cheap yards away, we stay back from the play of the ball and let players run at us.

its now time he went

Sorry Matt,I'm in agreement with all the above.Today we weren't hungry enough and that was why we didn't win.We witnessed it and it was ugly.That game should have been taken by the scruff of the neck in the last quarter and we would have won,but with non tackling and standing off the man like that we got all we deserved.
I predict more of the same if the defence isn't sorted soon.It's not looking good is it!!!!

Its the age old issue of an Halifax side coached by Calland who simply can not defend, do the basics of rugby correct and make consistent bad decisions with ball in hand. Add to that poor communication and ill discipline and it pretty much some us up this year and the previous 2 years really. Although individual brilliance has papered over these cracks previously. Sometimes we need a workman like defensive performance to grind teams down, as we should have today with Dewsbury.

We are one dimensional and teams who own a video of any Halifax games can easily suss us out. I left today totally deflated and my old man who has watched Fax for over 50 years is now saying he doesn't want to go anymore as he has seen enough . . . . . . How many more feel liek this and will vote with their feet??

As I have said before though we are (I fear) stuck with Calland for various reasons and that worries me massively. I would rather have Bally as coach if it meant we had a different approach or gameplan as the club seems to be going very stale at the minute. This year is certainly an ANUS HORRIBLUS!

We lost today to a team that ran from deep onto the ball and looked sharper than us an wanted it more.
They gave their forwards the ball running onto it at pace from deep which hurts you when you have a flat defence like ours whereas we chuck it to Big Frank or Aizue or whoever standing flat who then trying to get going.
It doesn't work, so who is at fault?
Come on it has to be the coach when it happens week in week out.

I am sick of losing to teams who just have the bit extra in organisation and as a result beat us.
Calland HAS TO GO sooner rather than later so we can start building for NEXT YEAR.
This season has to go down as one of the most disappointing in the last 15 years if we don't win anything with what on paper is the best squad in this league.
Thing is we cannot afford this team now so we will have to let some of them go.
Rebuil with players that have a desire to play for Fax and a coach that can organise them.

1 Northern Rail Cup performances.
2 Turning up to a postponed cup tie after travelling to the ground.
3 Signing Holroyd again.

Will seriously consider my options for future games.

As said previously I do not usually climb on the sack the coach bandwagon but enough, today was an insult to all the travelling fans.

Had a few beers myself so got to keep it simple:

Basics = incapable
Team Decision making= shocking
Discipline = poor
Communication= poor
Fitness = poor
Players Technical Ability= good
Entertainment value= high
Performances= below par
Crowds = sure to diminish under current setup
Super League = why?
Chances of winning major comp: low (unless discipline instilled)
Time to sort it: now

Bit simple but why not

ps ref: no comment

Hey you guys have just got Holroyd back,next coming are Brendan Hill,Colin Dixon,and Johnny Freeman,HAPPY DAYS.

I, and I suspect most fans of other championship clubs will be quite happy if matt stays on!!
