Quote: "Sheffield with home advantage should be favourites but I definitely think we could win. We need to start well, respect the ball a bit and make sure we concentrate at start of second half. Hopefully no rain. I take it the match isn’t on local radio and it’s Twitter feed only?
Good to see Eccles, Parata and Leyland junior shortlisted for Betfred Championship coach, player and young player of the year. The team has really stepped up, of course yet to be seen whether this group of players is sticking around. Our retention for 2024 has been a little sluggish and our recruitment invisible. I’m not worried yet but I do note the thread on this issue on the other site. There are definitely a number of players we’d be smart to retain and a few that I’m more relaxed about.'"
Blackwell and Aston out for them, which are losses, however they get back Welham and a couple of others. See it being fairly square in terms of a match up. Hopefully we have Lewis and Alex back in the mix.
Rain looking pretty likely at kickoff, so hopefully we keep it simple, handle and complete our sets well.
