Lets keep it honest

Not the tonking i was expecting 10 mins into the 2nd half so a little credit for keeping Wise out for the last half hour or so, although i'm sure they will have taken their foot off the gas. Hopefully Cooke and Obst will have developed the pairing a little more ready for the visit of Cas.

Bailey, what a twerp

Aye, that's the main thing for us at the moment, as I see it. It's like we're trying to have a pre-season in the middle of our season, so it's gunna take a while to get all the players up to speed again with the monumental shift of no Newton, no Brough, and Cooke now running things. Hopefully we're one step closer now.

That's right. We've been done in that respect, but we may just finish stronger as a result. Thank god we've clocked up a few points at the start again.

It was clear that your attack was badly weakened by not having enough time post-Brough for the new half-back combination to click. You should be able to get closer to the form of the first few games once Kear has sorted this.
