A very reasonable assessment from FA. Our ball distributing players are way below the standard with some terrible passes by both Jeffries and Deacon today, however there were also some good ones for the first time this season. It actually looks like we've got an attacking game at times now which made it far less frustrating to watch than the KR and Huddersfield games.

One thing that mystified me was McNamara's decision to put Crookes in against Yeaman who's been one of the best performing in the league so far and the lad never really stood much of a chance. But at least macca is showing some faith in the kid.

All in all, I'm feeling a lot more positive than after the disgrace last week but we're still some way off.
Hopefully a weekend away in France will help instill a bit more confidence into the lads and having a weekend away from the ever increasing hoard of booers will relieve some pressure on them which can only be a positive thing.

Sheriffe was the big disappointment for me today and in promising moments in the second half he bombed key opportunities. Unforunately I think he knew it and after one too many his head went down and never got himself up for it mentally again.

At times like that you need to bring a player off for a rest. Is Dave Halley still available to recall from Wakefield? Cos I think he would help the situation, however he may not be able to raise the morale of the team and his excellent form so far this season at Wakefield may dissipate once he comes back here.

How can they do it now, unless someone puts their hand up and says we goofed with Sheriffe? Halley's face - for whatever reason - obviously didn't fit with someone and the message he got was, "go play for a lesser team, ( 3.10693359375:5
