In the McRae/Kear era the players used to dread Billy Malinson's infamous runs up Brantingham Hill pre season and would joke about it in interviews, yes it was old school but in that era we were were a playoff team every season. Now we look massively unfit and we cant even say we start slow and aim to peak late in the season, we barely win a game in August/September!

Now it’s we barely win a game full stop

Once Saints took the lead after about 30 minutes we knew heads would drop and it would be another mauling. It was just a case of how many. It's that predictable.

Saints even took the foot off the peddle in the second half. They could easily have scored more points.

And not forgetting Makinson missed a few kicks and due to the scoreline I felt came inside a couple of times rather than doing his famous dives to the corner flag. It could have been even worse.

Listened to BH interview on Humberside and he sounds like a man that hasn’t a clue. To say fatigue was the reason we got beat is quite honestly laughable if as a team we are so fatigued after 40 mins then what the hell are they doing in training and with the fitness staff? Not a lot by the sounds of it.

Mind you to play an aging player for 80 mins week in week out and then on a real scorcher the HC flogs him completely so after 25/30mins he was out on his feet and no matter where Houghton was in the defensive line St’s just exploited that and it’s so predictable. We also yet again fail to apply pressure to the opposition and make them use up energy by defending instead we go for glory on tackles 1 or 2 instead relieving pressure on the opposition and putting it on ourselves.
The injuries/missing players are just not an excuse or a reason for the manner of defeats which are all too familiar under BH.
The interchanges and use of the bench selection is another failure which BH seems to not learnt anything from.

As for Purtill I honestly fail to see what he has done while at the club.
I have no confidence in the current coaching set up that they know what they are doing or have any ability to get anything out of the players they have. Next season i fear will just once again be more of the same as there has been no evidence in 2 years under BH that he is capable or has implemented any structures other than a structure to collapse and capitulate with ease.

The reality of the situation will hit next season, as people will simply prioritise paying bills over watching a “project “

I’m hoping to hear from AP at some point, to see how he feels about things.

If you count passholders on holiday, those busy washing their hair and the infamous tickets the SMC buy from us...8k actually there in my opinion and it is dwindling fast, could be on for an SL era low on Friday

Time for another bring a friend for a £5

and it's on sky.

I am really worried about the financial situation, some wont have a choice of entertainment over essentials. Others will will choose their entertainment spends wisely. The size of our stadium doesnt help either, if you lose your treasured seat there's another free one not far away.

If we hear from Adam it can't be another 'be faithful and back the club' thing, he's milked that now, the vast majority of fans not asking for a refund during Covid showed enough loyalty.

I have a bet once a month
I made a fortune on Leeds and FC this weekend
