Just watched the game on sl show did'nt go myself. Thought we looked confident in the first half but errors led to much defending, which you can't do all game. Was a bit dissapointed we let the scoreline blow a bit but i for one did'nt expect us to win. Wire are a good team & will push for honours on all fronts so to lose away is no disgrace.
Think it showed our weaknesses up a prop light & lack of quality in the threequaters.
Macca needs to tweak the team a bit to get the best out of his squad but the fact is its not as good as a few others.
I think everything of relevance has now been covered at length.
Just following on from a point FA makes; Phil Clarke at the Cas game made a comment about if we were 5W 5L after 10 games, he fancied us to go on, get stronger and have a real stab at getting to OT.
I think that's a pretty good point.
Also of the next 4 games, I would predict 2W and 2L, giving us 5 and 5 after 10.
Also remember 50% form was good enough for the play offs last year.
The league as it is also means even the top team will be losing more than in years gone by (IMO).
If someone has the info to hand, it would be interesting to see how many games (or % wins) the top teams have had since 1996. I bet it's a long way from the 91% we achieved in '97.
