Ratchford is out of contract at the end of season I think,what chance he stays?

Fair points but we've conceded 50+ in 3 of the last 4 games. And thats before going into any of the off the field stuff. Can't blame the fans for getting frustrated.

EX.SALF.UNI only blames criticism of the club/coaches/players/staff/the grass they play on and the pidgeons in the shed at the supporters, in fact he holds those other things in such high esteme they are untouchable.

It's always rosey in EX.SALF.UNI land! Didn't you know he or she is even getting laid these days!

Not 'the' supporters, just some. Let's not confuse a handful of dreary internet grumblers as the voice of 2,500 regulars.
I'd be more inclined to engage in the bemoaning myself if the record changed once in a while, but the same clueless bitching just keeps rearing itself. I accept this is some kind of comfort to you and my alternative take on matters seems strange and other-worldly but I mean you no harm, your dark little corner of the internet is quite safe (unless, god-forbid, we win a game or two..!)

We've had some hurtful beatings and we all have to live in the hope that a coach exists who can get some consistency out of our players.
We've clearly got a team that needs to perform in the top percentile of its ability every week to get results, or even get close. I've just never bought into the idea that nobody is trying. I've only ever played at a very amateur standard, but even there I've not shared a rugby pitch with a player who's evidently half-d.

Fair play it's good to have a different view of things on here from time to time. Don't think the players aren't trying just think a few are peeved with the (lack of) goings on behind the scenes regarding the coaching situation.
