| I have followed the comments on this post and agree with what is being said about our play during the game and players concerned. However with how we played to the end of last season and then the first game of this season its not just the poor performance on the field but the repercussions off the field. I have read on another post we are some 900 season ticket sales down this season, not good! But then to have a decent crowd for a Championship game turn up on Sunday and serve up that performance is going to impact the club.
I have read its early days we will get it together but I doubt very much we will have anything like the support against Batley on Sunday as we did last Sunday, be lucky if we have 2000 on. We need the support, yes we have a great set of core loyal fans that will see the club through thick and thin but we need the majority of fans that turned up on Sunday to come week in week out supporting the team and club.
I do hope the club, (Mr Beaumount) makes the right decisions very soon however difficult it may be, the current coach and set up isnt anything like good enough, yes he took us up to SL but he also took us straight back down!

No sacrificing distance, but causing trouble for the would-be catcher. Often, Ridyard's kick -offs were dropped, or bounced, going dead. It's a skill that can surely be acquired, by a half-decent kicker?'"
Only takes practice but they've not got time with them being full time professional's ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

They used to have one of the best modern-day kickers on the coaching team, but he didn't/couldn't get through to them last season.

Doesn't the new ruling place emphasis on not kicking the ball directly into the in-goal area Alan.

New rules?! Drat, I haven't mastered the old ones yet?
Point taken, but I still maintain that it should be possible to make life very difficult for the catcher, rather than serving possession up on a plate for him. Maybe a cunning, spiralling kick aimed for just short of the tryline? ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

From a kick off ![Confused icon_confused.gif](images/smilies//icon_confused.gif) Bizzare ruling if that's the case
