| Well we're now 5 points off 8th position. We've never looked like getting any kind of consistency all season and today's effort doesn't do anything to suggest the major improvement needed is around the corner. Where other teams pick up the points we falter.
It's a bloody good job the SL increased in size and got rid of the drop or we'd be staring down the barrel of relegation.

| Reet my two penneth
2 the daft mooses stood in front of me,,Deacon was crap today regardless of his years of service today he was left wanting, players ran round him for fun his defence was none exsistent he brought nothing offensively, telling me kindly to "shut my mouth" DIDNT MAKE HIM ANY BETTER
Sykes seems to have no ability to catch, run pass or tackle and wtf was he doing when he went for a ball Menzies clearly had covered.
in the second half we were devoid of ideas their was no continuity at all.
IMO it comes down to the following
too many players OOC and generally dont give two farts
Coaching team is rubbish, our assistant coach wasnt deemed good enough for Queensbury ffs
conditioning is poor size isnt everything (ask Halley our only shining light)
Fans will stay away if that is what they have to put up with and then listen to all the e coming out of the club, Macca grow a pair and admit you have no idea what you are doing and actually drop some players i would rather see the kids give it their all and loose than watch a load of premadonnas go half assed.
On a brighter note Platt playing for the kids cheered me up

| He has dropped players, Platt and Cook to name 2. Playing Lynch for 75 mins adds nothing to the game we will just burn him out or get him injured. What's the point of dropping anybody if the lad you put on the bench gets only 4 mins? It just meant that a team that was struggling had to struggle longer because somebody was scared to put the kid on the pitch. It's been said before if we are just going to sit kids on the bench well hey I can do that for free. Also the way Sheriffe and Sykes were playing he should have taken one of them off especially when Widders tore through and left them for dead, my wife could have caught him!
No team spirit, no pride and no idea. I hope we have an end of season cull with Stevie Mac top of the pile and take his entire backroom staff with him.
Bring on the wonder kids and salvage some pride.
Rant over beer in fridge.......

| Our set plays are entirely predictable, for the most part we're incapable of defending a lead, the interchange is completely flawed, our defense down the right is woeful, 7 and 9 offer little and our confidence is brittle. Until we get rid of McNamara who has made the 'collapse' a central part of our playing mentality and we can psychologically start again, the team will continue to do the same thing again and again.
Set plays, interchanges, confidence etc are Mcnamara's responsibility and he's failed time and time again. Remeber that Halley our best player today, was farmed out to Wakey where he scored tries at will during the first part of the season whilst McNamara stuck with Platt.
There are countless other examples, but hey he's rebuilding etc etc. Fact is he can't build a decent team, so how he's going to re-build a club I have no idea. He reminds me more and more of Cullen, someone who is out of his depth in SL, promoted above his ability and clueless when the pressure is on. For crying out loud, what more proof do we need, another low crowd which will drift lower now there's nothing left to play for meaning less income and less chance to see this so called rebuilding come to fruition.

| One of the worse things is we are sat in the stand and you can predict the mistakes we are going to make.
Cass make an error and we get the ball back , prediction "2 play and we'll cough it up" result 2 plays and Deacs spills the ball.....
Cass knock on, prediction we won't complete the set. Result 3 plays and a forward pass.
Final prediction, Deacs will miss the kick, result Deacs missed the kick. We didn't deserve to draw..
Cass were not on form today, what does that say about us?

| It's certainly becoming more and more difficult to find any postives or defence for this.
I agree with a few others on here that we need to blood some of the kids and pretty much write off the season.
I think we probably need to pretty much win every game from here to get in the play offs and build some momentum. At this point in time I can't see that happening.
2 bench spots per week for the kids to have a go and rotate the senior members for a week off.
Very, very disappointing

| one of our main problems is our right wing. Sheriffe with a better centre wouldn't be as much of a liablity. Sykes with a better winger would be more productive.
however, both players are average and sticking them together gives us a very average combination and teams all season have exploited our right side and more often than not score

Not happy with the fans around me who seem to pint everything on the referee.. sigh. Tadulala was terrible in the air and under the high ball today, but our fans seemed to believe he was taken out, which I disagree with.
'"
The Cas player barely left the ground and Semi was already well up in the air and was simply charged into and tipped horizontal. If that isn't being taken out then I don't know what is. Poor call from the officials, not to mention the missed forward pass for one of their last tries.
But when you're playing poor these things often don't go your way, I'm more concerned about our defence in general to be honest.
