We only lost 6 games last season with tonights lost thats 4 defeats in 7 with an almost certain defeat away to bradford next sunday we cant afford to lose against dewsbury on monday otherwise we are looking at 6 loses out of 9 thats relegation form !! and last year halifax the 4th place team lost 7 games I know its if and buts I would say if we lose both our next 2 matches thats it our top 4 hopes are gone

Couldn't agree more. Interesting to note that 4 Flatcappers played for us last season. Did the club go full time too soon? I would have preferred to have the new stadium (if it ever happens) built first. This peripatetic existence that the club has had over the last 4 seasons is surely holding it back..

In what way, GB ? Clearly the Board were confident of financing a full time playing staff. The games we lost have come after that decision.

And after half a dozen games I'm much happier with the players we have from last season's sheffield team.
Sharpy has recruited well on a very limited budget.
The break up of the teams of Bastian and hay was essential.
Misi has been on fire this season.

Great try from Briggs.

I would have been happier if, when the board announced their decision to go full time time it would have been from the end of the current season, so that the scouts could maybe have had more time to assess the players that they wanted. As it is there were barely 3 months from going full time on November 1st to the start of this season in January, and that is not counting the Christmas break. No wonder they are taking time to coalesce.

It will come but maybe not this season.

You assume that the coaches knew at the same time as we did.

"It will come but maybe not this season"

But if we dont make the top 4 this season can we afford to keep the players full time next season on low attendances? Hopefully when the decision was made to go full time funds were but in place to enable us to continue to be a full time squad for the next 2 or 3 seasons however if it was based on getting top 4 prize money every year we could be in trouble and might have to go back to part time

You worry too much.

It is not the first time we have had a poor start I am just hoping we start playing like a team with some flair.

Perhaps with good reason after this evenings match
