Fitness could maybe be improved but we worked very hard for 50 mins. Line speed was good and due to the smaller bodies the "arm wrestle" must take more out of us than them

Yeah.......we have a nice new home and 1,000 less fans with a team that is off the bottom because of a points deduction.....oh, hang in. The last bit is familiar

I felt quality rather than fitness was the issue today. With Cook and Krasniqi in the middle unit, it was competitive. But without them, the Wire PTB got much, much quicker. McMeeken playing too many minutes on the left edge might be considered a fitness issue but I think it more of a case that his game time is being managed very badly. Again, take the two backs off the bench and replace them with Greenwood and Vea (in my hypothetical world) and our forwards might have looked stronger in the second half.

I agree, odd to have a centre in Macani and a utility back in Solomona on the bench. Anyone know anything about Drinkwater's injury? Bad?

It is nice actually.

Get some of the missing fans back and it will be rocking.

How are we going to get any if the missing fans back?

Gutters, you seem to be getting more & more curmudgeonised as the years pass. All you need is to sit in a stand and watch your team play just once year to really understand the peril.

You've got their addresses write to them & tell how great the Hive is.

Have to agree. Physically, they were a massive pack. I don't know why we didn't use our agility and pass the ball around to stretch them side to side or even go in low when we were 10 yards from their try line in the 2nd half like Danny Care done for England today

Is this now the worst for Wire in london?

Sorry, but after being told to "change the record" and to be "grateful that we even exist", what we are witnessing (either in person or via the radio/internet) is the total and utter destruction of what was, in 2008, a club with a chance of making professional RL work on the capital.

[listGlumfox is today's gathering another record low for Gus?

Previous low was knocked out of the park today.

It is...1,337 beating the previous 2,098 that attended the 2nd London v Wire game in the Capital in YK2.

3,453 is now the average for the visit of the Wire to London in SL.
3,638 was the average before Gus
2,620 is Gus's average.......he has managed to drop the average attendance by [size62%[/size

I think Wigan (2nd visit in 2007 recorded at 3,200) and Huddersfield (2nd visit in 2001 recorded at 1,800) are the only 2 current SL clubs that Gus doesn't hold records for........I suspect he could have the full set by the end of this year!

Cue posts about how ing wonderful the Hive will be if we can get 3k in

Hmm would not surprise me if we see sub 1k this year for a home game. A lot of wire fans at the game today.
