| You guys have problems seeing off SL opposition we have problems seeing off Championship sides. So you made it to the semi the other year by playing 0 SL sides?

18 games played. 3 wins.
Not good.'"
How many of those defeats are people honestly believing we 'should' have won though??
There looks some tough opposition for the majority of those defeats and with our means and resources, in knockout football we have absolutely no right whatsoever to have much of a better record than we have out of the above fixtures....
Last night we were just beaten by a better team on the night.....a team playing at home and a team who were able to go out and sign players like Gareth Ellis & Daniel Holdsworth in the off season....
As disappointing as it is to be knocked out of a competition we shouldn't really be 'expecting' to go to places like Hull and knock them out......should we?

And in all those games the 3 we did win were against, with respect, 3 of the poorer SL teams.

Correct. Salford (who weren't in SL at that time), Barrow and Oldham.
Then Hull in s/final.

| The best team won, pure and simple, Yeaman pulled of 5 or 6 textbook ankle tackles on Collis which stunted any threat from Fox out wide. Horne and Holdsworth were dominant but for me, the dilatory play of Smith again at fullback was again disappointing. Tightening up our defence after 20 minutes when our opponents had crossed three times was too little too late. No complaints on the night.

| Our defenders were often guilty of not playing to the whistle, instead choosing to wait for decisions on obstructions (dodgy ones at that). Schoolboy stuff I know, but true all the same. The Hull defence was excellent all night though, suspiciously, very quick off the mark. Deffo missed Poore last night, and all our plays were very easy to read. Never mind there,s always next year!

Yes. You have to have belief look at Wigan FC beating Man City in FA Cup Final today. They are 16 places lower than them with a small squad yet win 1.0, not enough real upsets in RL nowadays.
