Not wishing to be defeatist (although right now it’s hard not to be) but Trinity could finish 11th and still have averaged a top 8 place over the past 3 seasons.

I really can't agree with your view of "quite a few kids" as some sort of excuse for such a shocking performance. With the exception of Davey & Gledhill the team against Quins was full of players with plenty of experience to get the job done. I agree that it wasn't a full team of seasoned professionals, but IMO every single member of the playing & coaching staff should be giving themselves a long hard look in the mirror this week because at the moment the lack of effort on the pitch equates to little more than taking the fans' money under false pretences. All of us work hard for our wages and the least we expect of the players is that they work hard for theirs too.

I suppose the only silver lining to the dark clouds around us at the moment is Barrow beating Cas. I never thought it would be a question we should ask, but should we try to re-sign Rooney?

I'll chip in as well old lad, trouble is if we do it for one they will all want it and it might prove a tad expensive. Should not be a problem for you mopsey says your on better wages than ngb4c

And just how is that of any comfort to us?

I can think of two reasons - 1) at least we weren't the first SL team to lose to lower league opposition in 4 years & 2) it helps keep their trolls off here so we can wallow in our own misery!

didn't realise just what we have missed ..until yesterday ! broughy could make huddersfield in to a title / cup winning team.

Wasn't it painful listening to Mr kear positivley drooling over the Hudds performance, especially Broughs.

So we can have yet another 6? Dont think so

He's just signed another Deal at Barrow and is happy, best leave him be.
