I'm sorry - what were we expecting?

This is a collection of strangers and kids, playing against well-drilled, well-funded, vastly more experienced sides.

How we could expect any other outcome than consistent defeats, I don't know

The non playing player pulling faces at the camera should have been looking suitably embarrassed at the shameful performance of his team mates,not acting up like a child

Correct.

Must say, last night was one of the worst nights I have had watching LB (was having a nice evening in Moranos before the game. Wish we'd stayed there).

Deffo up there with being nilled by HKR and the mauling in the Medway.

He's like 21, still is a child.

I would rather they feel embarrassed for themselves, the club, the coach and the fans - so few that are left. If such stinging criticism does not inspire a response based on pride in ones self then we are truly doomed for extinction.

I would sooner they went down fighting than going through the motions waiting for the lights to go out. After all it is their livelihood for crying out loud. They could be on the dole come September and their career over.

To be honest not much this season. But the players with the odd exception gave nothing last night - they were defeated before evening stepping on the pitch. Collection of kids, but not all. Plenty of players with experience on the pitch last night.

Unfortunately the fans are not helping, and I include myself by way of this post. It is such a shame.

Both horror shows for sure, but for me the worst was the game against Wigan at the Stoop last year where they weren't even trying and could be clearly seen not to be!

Thankfully I missed that one.

That was my last game too. Completely predictable what has happened this season, but depressing all the same.

Missed the home game v Wigan last year or maybe it's just erased itself from my memory. The cup SF at Leigh takes some beating though.

Have to agree the lack of competitiveness this season was always predictable but last night's show was truly depressing. Sent me to bed early.


On another note, look who's here:
