I still follow Wakey and nothing really changes does it. Blaymire gets 60 posts mostly baking his peformance and blaming the lad for a 50 point defeat!!!!! Unbelievable really.

Must say you guys are going ok considering. Keep backing the boys,

Indeed, it's beyond belief but then they do need their scapegoat.

All those people who moaned about Ted have to have something new to moan about now so we are back to the usual "Pick a scapegoat" scenario.


As an aside it was good to have JD back as our guest of honour the other week.

Seeing as though the club is being run in a vastly more professional manner, nobody needs to moan about the administration anymore, you are certainly right there.

As for scapegoats, its a shame but we are all human, and even those who place themselves on a higher moral ground, have been guilty of it, its called fallibility i think.

Don't particularly think Blaymire was all that hot at FB against STs, but now is the time for supporting the players not slaughtering them, however that does only go so far.

i remember watching replays of some of the tries and blaymire was shouting our defence to slide across but they werent reacting quick enough- maybe this was all blaymire's fault as well was it? he's a couple of matches back into playing and he's trying. I bet the people bashing him now was kissing his backside when he was 'Mr Consistent' two seasons ago.

And to be fair he got by far the biggest round of applause of all the old players we've had back. Although probably helped by the fact we could actually he what he was saying for once

I can't see why certain people get so hot under the collar about the perceived negativity of some fans; very few people have bagged Blaymire or any other player recently, apart from the usual suspects who are, to put it kindly, a bit eccentric.

It could be argued that an overly cynical view of your fellow fans is just another form of the negativity that surrounded the club last season and in my view, could be equally divisive; a perceived clique of self-styled 'real fans' or people associated with players or staff and who will brook no criticism of either, constructive or otherwise, is neither helpful nor welcoming to the new or casual supporter.

The defence brigade usually go too far. As for Blaymire he had a poor game and it happens and it's inevitable to be discussed and raise a few negative comments. Just human nature.

But on another day when he has a good game I'm sure the same people Inc me who have stated he had a poor day will be praising him for the week.

The defence brigade on here do seem to take serious offence to some opinions of fans re; performances and then we get the slanting matches which tbf I do not look at the user names as I can't be bothered and usually skip.

I agree that so far things have gone relatively well, it would be churlish to suggest otherwise. However I think you're jumping the gun slightly by stating it's vastly improved - it's far to early to tell. So far it's been fairly cosmetic, yes in it's own feelgood factor way that's important. That said many of the really vital underlying issues regarding the club are yet to be addressed. Now I accept that there has been no time to act as yet, but the fact remains that they still very much exist and until action and results are evident I don't think you can make such bold statements.

I'm not suggesting the same scenario is about to happen but for the first few month under Pearman everything seemed to be heading in that direction then bang - I'm a bit cynical but then we have good reason.

Do they! Come off it. No one is suggesting any player is above constructive criticism. However blaming one player calling him this and that is not on. Sure it's human nature, if your nature is that of a total ar*e. To say it's the defence brigade that go to far is clearly ludicrous, it's obvious to anyone that it's the other way around. Still let's defend the lowest common denominator - it is the British way or it's certainly your way - still using your logic I'll do well to ignore your user name in future.

That is exactly my point I have never felt that way about him, I have always felt that he does not run the ball back when he catches it, at best he runs side ways with it, you watch other FBs and they run hard and fast towards the opposition.

I do sincerely hope that my view can be changed on him, but I was not just saying it after a bad game last week, as all players have a bad game from time to time, it is just how I have felt about him for the past few years.

I do not want to just "bag" players, and I understand it must be very difficult to play in a team like ours at the moment, as every week we are coming up against stronger / more experienced players, but hey ho that was always going to be the way this season!
