| Quote: Slugger McBatt "I think one of the problems this year has been the tightness of the league, so for a long time there wasn't an issue as we were always within touching distance of the top 5, with many players due back from injury. The same at the bottom, as within a couple of weeks we have gone from one win off the play-offs to two losses off the bottom.
Saturday cost us the play-offs in reality. Although we have the same gap between the play-off spot and the bottom, we are playing like a side in a relegation battle. Two wins will do us, I think, because that would require London and Rovers to each win five of their last eight games, which is unlikely. BUT, we could do without having to win the final game.
I don't think it's a Chester thing. I think it's a player thing, and they lost some of their fight, perhaps because we were always so near the top. Perhaps Saturday was just a focus thing, because it was clear from their instagram stories that they spend two days doing the full tourist sightseeing. What is apparent that none of the players have posted an instagram story since Saturday, so hopefully there's a renewed focus.'"

Still think we need 3 wins to be sure of staying up. Just need to get to the end of the year and look to next season.
Said on here a few times Chester should be judged on our progress after 100 games in charge which he crossed this season I believe. Currently he has failed to maintain the course of improvement since 2016 but there is some serious mitigation as to why the season has collapsed, however we should be putting in better performances than last week and a bad one at home to Cas on Friday could really pour some petrol on the fire. Seriously though - who is going to come in and a) improve things within the budget b) be a realistic long term appointment? People jumping up and down calling for JD to be brought in are assuming his sentiment for the club matches theirs.'"
I think that's fair enough, sometimes the grass isn't always greener is it......we have to be realistic about who would replace him........but like you say, another poor effort on Friday and they are all gonna cop some serious flak and they will probably have no real defence! After all when you consider Salford have only won 1 out of the last 6 or 7, and that was us, same really with Catalans, now Cas are hardly on a hot streak are they.

| Hudds aside, the past one or two months I’ve seen the same amount of passion and pride in this team as the 2015 team. Just willing to roll over and die straight from the off. Christ, a lot of people though losing 36-6 to Wire was good.

Yep I get what you're saying, pride's a dirty word nowadays! But if you're waiting for Chester to be sacked, I think you will be waiting quite a while, but who knows what lies in store eh......

| Hi Wollo,re your last post
I am now beginning to understand why people would bet against their own team.If Trin loose, the winnings can soften the blow. I can also see that if they opt for the points for or against system, that can finish as a win-win situation.I still won't back against Trinity though,it would be a case of me hoping that I loose money.Nope!
Your mention of the 1979 semi brought back my best memories of my time watching the club.Was there at Headingley seeing Burky,Toppo,Fletch,and I think Keith Smith do their stuff in a very tense but successful match.

Chester won’t get sacked whilever Mike Carter has influence, they’re too close which is never a good thing if you’re in a professional set up. More likely to be moved upstairs whether it’s warranted or not.
