Ok, sat in a comfy position on the other side of the fence on Saturday (as meast has kindly pointed out, not the usual position against you lot in recent years, thanks meast icon_wink.gif ), here's what I think.

I think changing the coach would be a knee jerk thing to do, unless a clearly better candidate comes along. I think you have a very good coach, with a few things he needs to learn about getting over the line in the big knock-out games. That isn't always a quick process - I've been a Leeds fan since 1987, I'm sure you picked up on how many trophies we won in the first 12 years of my fandom... If you have the right set up, are progressing in the right direction and have a good coach and the right players, when it clicks the trophies will follow a bit more freely.

From where I'm sat, you're a few players short as well. You need another ball player to help Brough out. Ellis isn't that player. He has his moments, but he's no game manager. Robinson looks a little shot nowadays. The 3/4 line is as good as pretty much any in the league. No concerns there. The pack is big and nasty, and although ours got the upper hand on Saturday, I would chalk that up as a bad day at the office. Jack Hughes would do well to learn from Craig Huby on the best way to take your frustration out on the opposition ball carrier - flailing arms just give up field position. But I think he's a good player.

There is a big mystery in the team though. Perhaps you can help me with it, as I see far fewer Huddersfield games than you: Scott Grix. Likeable lad, seems a good pro. But, is it me, or is he just not good enough for this level? Every single time I've seen him he's fallen somewhere between average and absolutely awful (Saturday being the latter). He generally produces the odd good play to sort of mask the issue, but I can't see anything to suggest he really warrants even a squad place, let alone a regular start, in one of the top teams in the league.

Saturday was the worst I've seen you lot play in quite a while. I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Tomorrow is the next big game and Wigan are a side we often do well against, If we front up like we did first half last week I'm optimistic. Can't be there unfortunately but might get a bit of radio if I'm lucky, Can you pick up Radio Leeds on West coast ?.

No- but you can listen to radio Leeds online. If you don't have that option Might be better trying to pick up a local Wigan station. - diesnt look like BBC Lancashire is doing it.

By big game game i mean in a play off game or cup game.

yes the league games are very important to get us too them and the next 3 games are going to go along way to whether we finish in the top 4, unfortunately our injuries have come at just the wrong time icon_frustrated.gif

up against it tomorrow cant see us winning but hope we do. warrington next too!

The whole match is being covered on BBC Radio Five Live Extra. If you can't get a digital radio try BBC Mancester or Wish FM.

Thanks for that but didn't get to hear any of it in the end, Sounds to have been a game of two halves again though reading the thread.
