Was there a minutes celebration before the game, if so who was it for please

Maybe it was for Scott Moore...

Being serious for a moment, it was (if I recall the name, apologies if I am slightly wrong) a guy called Paul Fisher who died recently

As well as being Playing Welfare Office, he was also part of Bullbuilder. I'm sure that some on this forum actually knew him (I'm afraid I did not)

Yes the minute applause was for Paul Fisher who as well as being a BullBuilder committee member was responsible for player welfare at the club.

He was a magnificent servant to the club. A sad loss.

Game was a slight disappointment for me.

A win's a win, I know, but we looked very disjointed at times. Thought Keyes had a terrific game as did both Peltier and Crossley, Pelts would have been my MOM as some of his carries appeared to be never ending. After a great start to the season I thought Elliot Minchella wasn't quite to the pace of the game yesterday, also Dane Chisholm gave the impression of trying 'a bit too hard' at times and getting it wrong with some wild passes. Without the normal cohesion in the middle of the field it made the game difficult.

Onwards and upwards..

Kear's post match press conference shows he was very far from happy. He said some had 9/10 performances and others 2/10 performances. I expect everyone was in first thing this morning for the post-mortem

9/10 for me were Keyes, Crossley and Peltier. I also thought Hallas went well and Grant took his chances. The rest were below par.

Agree Bullseye, Kear was certainly unhappy with that performance. I expect an improvement Friday, and think Oldham could be on the receiving end of a response. I can't see us putting in 2 poor performances on the bounce under Kear.

That's a great point Bullmania. I'm a LOT more confident with this coach that poor performances will be corrected for the next game

Kear was clearly very unhappy. He said the team has “disrespected” Hunslet and gone out playing like they were 30points up without earning it. While we weren’t ever in any real danger we did coast through that game.

I feel more confident about the Oldham game now which is potentially even tougher than the York game. We’ll need to be putting 100% in and not putting in another half d display. In a weird way yesterday’s performance could have done us a favour in that Kear will be removing any complacency this week.

Could be some heavy legs in the Oldham camp. Third game in ten days after their midweek cup match at Halifax. Need to be on it from the start to make sure they feel any tiredness they might have.

I still can't believe we got John Kear. I like the guy. His summing up in the T&A is absolutely spot on so I have nothing to add. he doesn't mince his words, nor should he.

Agree,John Kear is from the no nonsense,Peter FOX type,school of coaching where he views the game the same as the man on the terraces and isn't scared to speak his mind.Refreshing.Despite the under par performance on Sunday he has the team on the right track.At long last we are on the upward curve.

Echo that 100%, though I suspect the words used in the debriefing in-house would be far stronger, and personal, than the slightly sanitised public one.

It also makes a refreshing change to be looking so critically at a comfortable win against a team that had won its last 8 competitive matches on the spin. How times are changing.

Ryan has struggled imo with having Smith and now BF at centre this year. A class centre = a class winger
