And although they rested a few they were still knee deep in quality players.

Indeed. That Danny Ward side was IMO the best [iteam[/i we have had. Way more than the sum of its parts.

By comparison, Cake's sides often seem disjointed and rely on quality players to get them to tick.

Watched the game in full again and to be honest, Saints looked like they could score at will whilst we laboured with the ball.
Will we win this year? I hope so, but I doubt on that showing and the games so far across the comp that we will need to whine too loudly when we are back in tier 2 next season. I hope that we manage to hold.on to a few of these players who will benefit from this season together.
Lack of shirt sponsor reminds us of the reason we find ourselves in this position....

Standing square does not seem to matter in the Wolves V Dragons game tonight,

I think one of our targeted games was meant to be Cas. Don't see that happening after tonight's game.
It's going to be a fun season.
