Why can you not reply to what I said............. Rowley had a stinker last night, do you not think so? Do you not feel he was out of his depth as a coach?

Mooka i think you are just trying to get people wound up and some are biting , or you have some issues with Paul R ,the lad has done a very good job this season , some of our squad are for me average players , but remember in the past how we have performed ,i think the Current Directors have done a very good job also , just look at some of the performances , in the past we have put in , our Directors are MUCH better now .

I can't believe you're all giving this joker Mookachaka the time of day. He's obviously just a keyboard warrior who feels very brave hiding behind his stupid username.

Fool.

You said previously that you wanted Rowley out and be replaced by John Kear yet his Batley side were battered by Sheffield (46-16?) a matter of weeks ago. Does that not mean, then, that John Kear is "out of his depth" also?

His squad selection for me was bad, Nicholson 13, McGilvary on the bench............. I won't repeat myself though, I hope Paul has a good season next year, if not, its time to get rid, as hes cost us a final spot the other day with his mismanagement and tactics

I agree with that Leytherjay .

Though I'll never be a PR fan I can put up with him , but lets not forget he's still a novice coach who hopefully will learn from his mistakes before next season .

I hope we have a good think about this DC fiasco because when we were short due to injuries they were either unavailable or not played in enough games to qualify , it's a friggin farce .

I want us to hang fire a bit before making any new signings because once the SL clubs have finished arsing about scrapping their under 23's sides in favour of an under 19's league next year there's going to be a lot of Championship quality players looking for clubs and hopefully the better ones will be wanting to hook up with the top teams like us .

And I hope we've got our up and coming young players like Josh Ward on a contract so we don't start becoming a feeder club for SL clubs , and we get some payment for them if they leave .

I'll be honest, when we appointed Rowley I thought the worst,

but this year has been so far ahead of what most of us expected after last winters turmoil it's untrue.

Last night we got battered up front, which happens when you're best front rowers are injured, not just your best front rowers but the best front row in the league. That's why their half backs had so much space to get the ball out to the flanks. Did The Watcher and Mookachaka not see that Duffy was playing prop?

I agree Rowley got the team selection wrong, with only 17 fit players why didn't he get his boots out?

As for a 'proper' coach, did a 'proper' coach not get stuffed last year and 2010 by Sheffield far more convincingly, with a full team?

If anyone asks someone in the know about Gardner (who we were all raving about for 2/3rds of the season) he got injured in the game against Halifax-the cup one, and has been playing with that injury all year.

And Nicco and McGilvary were our only fit players Mookachaka, what would you have done?

I agree with leytherjay, strength in depth cost us, which is what happens with no planning for the season, which isn't anyones fault.

Our squad for next year looks amazing, I don't think anyone can touch us if we sign a couple more players.

Mookachaka for coach please.

There are indications on the Barrow Forum that Andy Ballard is joining Leigh next season.
