Do you seriously think we will get relegated ??

Not having a go at you because you've been on this forum for yonks, but the doom and groomers come out of the woodwork at the first sign of a crisis

As frustrating and annoying as it is, now is the time for the true fans to get behind the CLUB, not just the team, THE CLUB. A shock for us all to be where we are but we all have to grind it out

I was very late getting to the game, as for Frank, I saw him last week , he was OK. By the way I thought Fax played very well and fully deserved the win , I've never been a Murrell fan as he looks overweight , but I thought he had a good game today.
Our problem for the rest of the season is we need a bit of I prove mentioned I fitness and teams pirate, Fax need a bit of consistency in performances.

As a Fax fan, even though your team was woeful today, there's no chance of you getting relegated. On paper you have a vastly superior squad to the likes of Halifax, but the difference is probably what's being said in the changing room. Fax have no stars, but a closely knit team who absolutely support and work their socks off for each other. I had a chat with a couple of the players after the game, and although they were made up about the result, they were all keen to "big up" the performances of their team-mates.

Fax played well today, in fact the best they have so far this season. Great in the first half, but we should have made you pay with all that pressure we had in the second half, as well as a couple of sucker punches with dropped ball and interception tries.

All the best for the rest of the season.

Hi Ian. Murrell does have a couple of excess pounds, but he always manages a full 80 minutes (Ok, around 78 today). He's 32 now, but he was my MoM for Fax today - he leads and organises the team, and his kicking game to the corners was impeccable (Ben Johnston, our official MoM, tried the same in the first half and it went out on the full!).

Only posts in rough times. Always positive in words. NOT.

Shocking comment. No they haven't. Higham for example was embarrassing. Just passed from dummy half and when he did decide to make a run, he was blowing and retreated to the flanks for a breather. Hansen and Acton had "go forward" but their halves Lilley and Hutchison were garbage. The ball kept being funnelled to Evans but he seems to have lost 5 yards in speed. I came away disappointed we didn't win by 50 to be honest. "Vastly superior"? You're having a laugh?

Micky Higham 'embarrassing' !!? Enjoy your amazing victory today, when is the 'open top bus parade' ? See you next season....

LOL. I said "on paper". Agree with what you say (to a degree) about the Leigh performance today (albeit Higham did Ok), but I think RM could work wonders if he had their squad to work with.

To answer the question. We dismantled a team capable of being top 4 championship when we did not need to, if we followed HKR, kept the nucleus of the squad offload a few older players and ones wanting too much cash and reserve some funds for the mid 8s to bring in a bit more quality for the final push as we did previously we would be in that top 4 now. Players like Riddy, AJ, McNally, Hopkins etc know how to negotiate this division.

We however chose to rip up the formula that had been successful in this division and just one game away from success in SL and follow KCs mantra of it is about recruitment and recruit players with good RL CVs... then players generally have not experience in the physical and differently refereed comp that is the championship. They also are not coming into a team with a set pattern of play as the players who set that pattern are mainly gone.

There is quality in the squad but it needs strong coaching to pull things together... the formula isn’t right yet and who knows how long it will take to get right, half back partnership needs sorting and wide defence, not easy fixes. Meanwhile champ clubs who we have spent the last 3 years hammering are now relishing an opportunity to get their own back.

All will take time to fix and if we don’t get top 4 were does that leave us going forward? Some tough months ahead, let’s stick together and support the boys and hope improvement comes sooner rather than too late. How about Hall to halfback with Lilley until Mortimer and Reynolds return?

It was for Tony Fax..not you or any other Halifax fan. Oh, and if you had lost, you would be posting on OUR forum right now, wouldn't you love ? Enjoy the parade.... 2.345703125:5
