Quote: FCFALERNA "Lets face it to be happier with the situation, to be happier with the coach and the team, 99.9% of fans (be they fickle or not) will need to see a win against Widnes, and from there onwards we need to see a decent result and performance against Sheffield, to then thump Wakey, result at home to Hudds , then at the very least decent showings against Salford, Wire and saints again
THEN if we play at the magic weekend against HKR with passion and a desire to say sorry to the fans by giving rovers a shoeing then and only then i think the last few months will be forgotten
and all the above would be a massive confidence booster for us all i am sure..
Lets be fair we all know were no where near the finished article and in the midst of a building plan but with the team we already have we should be better than this...
Pre season I sat reading about this dynamic squad with so much cover in all areas, yet Ellis twists his sock and were running around like headless chickens..where is this squad we were all drip fed about
You know we have no right to win against anyone these days and thats the way we want SL to be so that we know week in week out we have to be at the gate ready to go and no team is a given win ,
However as fans we have a right to expect
1, a game plan
2, some sense and sensibility on the park
3,humility from the coach when it goes tits up
4m when it continues to go tits up the owner opens the door for the coach on his way out ...'"
Decent post, think we've done well in defence without Ellis tbf. Problem has been our attack, which would be helped massively if we had a hooker who had a rugby brain and made the right decision more often than not. Put Roby in our team, or even a Lunt and we'd be instantly transformed going forward imo.
Yesterday has to be a turning point, if we don't back it up in the next few games then I can't see us going anywhere, ever, under Radford. If we win against Widnes then it will be 4 out of 10, which I saw as a minimum but we need to turn that into at least 8 from 15 for mine and then eventually 14 or 15 from 23, which would see us top 6 imo.
I love being optimistic.
