Always trying to look for a positive in a game, am struggling with this one. Despite lots of folk not rating him I thought horsman looked enthusiastic today, more than the rest. Juma didn't get made to look so daft on his wing, think that's about it.
Haven were better team all game, our last play options were dire.
Not pleasant to watch

Yet this is the squad DH and his cronies have assembled to relaunch the club and attract new fans. Most of us saw this coming why didn't they ?

Or was he over optimistic!

I mean Dewsbury beat Sheffield today who beat Bradford. Unless the expectation is to beat Bradford in the Challenge Cup.

I'll ignore Dewsbury's big defeat Bradford in that logic.

I’m not experienced enough in the fine detail of the game to understand what Thomas was doing. Can anyone enlighten me. He seemed to me to be kicking the ball 10 metres and inviting Haven to attach us fro just inside their half.

Sheffield are a funny side. They seem to be really good but when the inevitable injuries. Happen they have no back ups and slide down the league. If Dewsbury end up above us we will be in trouble.

On the radio commentary they thought Thomas had an awful game.

Yes just seen the video. A decent thing to do.
I wouldn’t expect any kind of insights into why we’ve done what we’ve done but it would be really interesting to understand why the management allowed, basically, everyone to leave and replaced them with L1 players and thought it would work. The team on the pitch and our off pitch efforts all reek of a team with no money yet we have a multi millionaire backer who has stumped up for an expensive pitch/ training ground scenario and a reserves and women and academy set up. It really is mystifying. If the Cup match is a spanking ( what’s the chances of that!) and York is another wash out that feels like the PL experiment done. Getting in a few people on a free ticket is good to an extent but longer term buy in will be difficult if the team loses heavily, plays badly and never scores and who would want to buy a SL to see this?
Its mid February we are the lowest scorers in the league and 13th - not forseeable?

That was my uninformed opinion. But was he the worst out there? He is a L1 player who was last seen in aL1 team getting spanked every week. In a sense he’s been put in an invidious position.
Put it another way. Who was good?. Tuilagi seemed to try to get forward. Latu wasn’t as bad as last year- he seemed Ok. Parata and Curran were Ok.

We've had our ups and downs as a club over the years, most notably with DH collapsing the club at Barnet.
I think the club is now at a crossroad, they commit to an investment programme or close.

The kicking issue, poor decisions and poor execution with last tackle option. Better option on a number of occasions, eg when kicking from inside own half, would have been get to dead ball line and accept a 7 set 20 mtr restart. When we got closer to haven try line playing out the set and having handover 2 or 3 mtrs out would have been better option and building pressure make haven work the ball out, nearly everytime ended up with 10 or 20 mtr restart, dumb play

In his video, Mustard says we need to give the squad time given there are 23 new players. Wholesale changes to the squad (and coaching staff) was the club's choice. They knew when the season started and should have been prepared for it. A competitive start in the new home should have been a priority to spark the interest of any new fans. The lack of any sort of joined up thinking at the club is very frustrating.

My even more uniformed comment earlier was "What does Thomas offer". Can't have been good if he looked bad today even to me. Should add any sport I always caveat with what was a player asked to do, and is it a reasonable ask based oh his/her ability and skill set. In other words it's not simply saying the player is to blame.
