6 more wins at least and we will be safe. A decent cup run will do our confidence good- for me saying we should focus on the league gives the players the wrong message about the confidence in their ability to continue this run of form.
I would play Full strengt II h squad barring injuries, Russell for gaskell and walne for taai. Holmes on the bench to give OB a rest.
Darnell, wood, wardle JT Jerry, , Russell, sezer, matagi, OB, gavet, Edwards, wardle, Lawrence,
English, walne, Clough holmes

I thought exactly the same. With one or two exceptions that was shameful. Before anybody points out the obvious, yes I have seen similar displays from my team - but not recently.

McIntosh not Wood?

Second try from McIntoch intercept?

Forgetting his poor positioning and decision making, probably only one player deserved their pay - Jerry.

We are getting ridden over and we leave OB on bench?

No desire to win
No plan B
No respect for the fans who travelled.

Jerry dropped the ball at least twice. It wasn’t HIS finest game either

Don't you think.we ought to forget about the miserable
Wednesday night we all suffered- players and coach included-
and move on ?
The cup is a one off game and the best team on the night will usually win - and did!!
They defended better
They attacked better
Their in play kicking was better
Their enthusiasm and will to win was way beyond
ours End of !
We can discuss till Domesday but it won't
put the clock back Ok it hurt!
Let's hope it hurts the squad who we know are
capable of so much more and serves to make them
try harder for success from hereon in!
It's 67 years since I saw a club captain lift
the challenge cup at Wembley and boy what a
feeling It's one I think most of present fans would
love to experience - and our players
Can't understand why the prospect generated
so little desire and pride from them the other
night to achieve a highlight in their playing career
Beats me! Not the fact they lost but the manner in which they lost!
Aah well-.maybe next year?

Couldn’t agree more it was the manner not the defeat. There are only 2 trophies up for grabs and the cup with Sezer in our team was easily the best chance. I brought a couple of new people down to the game not a good night to sell the experience. Let’s hope it doesn’t derail some of the good things so far
