I don't boo, I don't think it achieves anything, but in the same breath I hold nothing against anyone who does. As a paying patron, they have the right to do whatever they like within the ground, as long as it is within the rules, and the law.

What I will say though is todays performance was poor, and whilst I will still be at every home game the rest of the year there are few out there as hardy as I and most of you on here, which is why i suspect that crowds will take a dip after today.

A simple statistic puts things into perspective. Regardless of comepetition points, only Doncaster have scored less points than us in this division.

Stanton wasn't without his errors in defence - what summed up the afternoon was when the Gateshead winger got the ball half an inch from the East Stand touchline, was always likely to step inside rather than end up on Leigh Harriers and 3 (three!) Leigh players were all done in the same movement by a side-step that was always going to arrive because of the position on the field. He gives it to a supporting player (there's that tactic again!) and it's try time.

How basic is it when a 3 v1 situation in the defence's favour to not all rush in and just keep a simple line and force the man in to touch or at least bloody tackle him?!

what are some of you like on here ...so he intercepts what does he want slaps on the back??? you run until your tackled not stop and wait to be tackled...thats what i was taught??? that one bit showed Leigh as a whole no passion no commitment no bloody good !!!!!

well said that man

Why has no one had anything to say about Ridyard? There is no way I would have him in the team. Such a pivotal position needs a much better player than him. I'm sorry but I can't remeber him having anything close to a decent performance. I'm sorry for just picking Martin there were lots of problems out there today but the biggest one for me was us being clueless in attack. Absolutely clueless. Having said that our defense wasn't much better. It's not rocket science this but every team that plays us now knows that all they have to do is suck the forwards into the middle then throw it out to a fast running second rower and we are knackerd. Its under 16's tactics and we can't see it coming. I only hope those players that are not performing are out of contract at the end of the season and we stay in this league.
Can you not sack them for not performing. There is video evidence.

I can't believe how much pressure is actually stacked on young Riddy. Today was the first game he has been selected immediately following a loss. Talk about a scapegoat,he's hardly going into games with the confidence of Darren Lockyer.......As it happens I don't think he was anything near our worse performer

Well although I don,t think he,s the reason for todays result his defence isn,t too good. is it ? I wouldn,t pick him for the first team mind you I wouldn,t pick Madden O,Connell, how ineffective can you be till you are droppped? Smith was dire. Reay can,t tackle, Stewart would have been worse with him, Leulai centre ? Oh dear me.

Had I played today it wouldn,t have maked that much of a difference and I,m expected to applaud that shower off after the match/mismatch.

couldn't be @rsed booing, if they were trying their best, then would feel bad doin it. But better teams in various sports get booed, and sometimes about 40,000 of 'em.

i did not boo the players,as it goes a lot further than playin staff. but what i did feel the players went wrong was to walk towards us and clap, they should of just walked off they know it was abismal, but you can bet they would of got slated for NOT acknowledging us also.

On that note they were in a no-win situation, but then again they should be used to 'no wins' by now

i know matt just stating either way there would of been a topic on it.

and the lads promised nursery rhymes today, never heard a peep out of the massive??

Booing them after a insulting lack of effort by the collective team (directors, coaching staff and "players"icon_wink.gif isn't a problem in my book, Just as applauding them when it goes well.
If the players are upset by people booing perhaps a long hard look in the mirror is required, the young uns will remember it and never want to be booed again and the old ones might just think about how they "earned" that money this week.

The team either plays well collectively or bad collectively, otherwise what you have is individuals not a team.

I was far too knackered to take any notice Adi 4.18017578125:5
