I watched the game and was 'filthy' at parts of the performance but now after some thought I'd evaluate it thus,

Positives:

Cunningham/Green and to a lesser degree Crooks get valuable game time (Ben's going really well) and stand up well against a big dominant team.

No more injuries

Negatives:

Lack of communication at times among key players (halves/forwards , Fullback positioning questionable at times also threequarter(s) mainly Turner leaving flanks exposed(the combination of which led to at least 2 of their tries)

Lack of composure and ball retention (how many sets did we actually complete to a kick ? (albeit we were chasing the game most of the second half so risks were taken).

An apparent lack of Confidence/ team spirit

Reasons/Excuses:

It's ok us saying can't blame it all on injuries.Fair enough but take the first choice 1 (Mkinnon),3 (would have Martin over Turner), 9(houghton), 10(o'Meely) , 11(Tickle) and replacement prop (moa) out of any side you'd see a difference.
Anyone who has played the game knows if you loose the big/hard guys there is a knock on effect (confidence mainly).
Ok we have signed Watts and Mgoldrick but these guys go straight in to a team they are not used to(and that takes time).

Conclusion:

As really expected a loss , a little heavier than was hoped.
However if I can see some things were we were lacking I'm sure the coaching staff will have and will be working hard to patch things up.

We need some bodies and spirit back, and I think the confidence would also return then.

Wether that is going to be this season though remains to be seen.

that seems to be the problem with FC - it's always 'next year'....you lot were saying the same things this time last year, and the year before....

no SL team could be in the position Catalans were in a couple of years ago and look what a new coach with a short close season was able to acheive ?

a similar story to Leigh when they were rock bottom and the Millward/Paul partnership changed things around pretty quickly

you don't need that much time to change things - I recall the FC teams of 2010 & 2011 in Perpignan and don't see much change in attitude playing style in 2012 ! - You might just as well kept Mr Agar ! You haven't gone backwards but you certainly haven't progressed, have you ?
Yesterdays debacle was as bad as i've seen from FC for many a year.

Depends. What squad will we have next season? How do we go with injuries? Any ref decisions that cost us a close game or two?

Really - only an idiot or a loon would come up with that kind of ultimatum when we haven't even finished recruitment yet.

Nope. We were [ihoping[/i for changes but not really expecting them with the same people running the club. It might have escaped your attention but that's no longer the case, and we already know there will be huge changes to the squad next season.

hope so for your sakes - you're a big club with a good fanbase and deserve success - PG seems a decent bloke who should have the knaus to get a quick tournaround

they did, but they also won the CC, which distracted them in the last few games.
