| I doubt this Friday's clash with Leeds is the right one to produce banners asking GT to leave, or would it help get greater reaction with the extra publicity the game will receive. I really cannot see anyway in which he can improve us as a team, I believe we are going backwards and desperately need a change.
I hardly ever miss a game however I am close to not attending until he goes, I can't believe Carl Hall hasn't made the change already.

Still confused how suddenly we can turn it on like we did in the 2nd half, why not earlier in the season . Defensive frailties also need addressing at full back. I am more & more convinced TC has a shoulder problem he seems he can not commit to the tackle .Still some issues that need addressing for me including the players/coach relationship. Sorry to sound a little negative after the 2nd half response .
Lets hope these can be addressed during the 2 weeks before the next game . The London is very important , lets hope it kick starts the season .

| I treated the Leeds game as a one-off before I went and I think our performance was a one-off.
We raised our game. Something we haven't managed much in the league.
We showed we can attack and so there will be little excuse barring injuries in league games to come as far as attack is concerned.
We also showed we can't defend individually and as a unit.
For Leeds' first try, the guy ran through and almost over Tom Carr.
For other tries under the sticks we had a big unit like Connor Scott being brushed aside like a fly. Then he looks around him at others.
Leeds did score a few good tries, but too many were what I class as pie-muncher tries.
Somebody just barging over and skittling cardboard cut-outs.
That is WHY we are losing games.
Thornton has not and I would suggest can't fix that.
He thinks it's good if we restrict such as Gloucester to three tries.
While conceding fourteen to Toronto.
We can't defend in the bloody-minded way that top sides do and that demoralises opposition.
The opposition knows that Donny are brittle and that they don't have to expend too much precious energy getting twenty odd points as a base level.
Until that is sorted we will struggle to beat such as Barrow and therefore can't get promoted.
We almost have to play like Brazil used to knowing we can outscore the opposition when they score.
On a cold wet day in Cumbria when every tackle hurts that is not always possible.
