Quote: Duckzilla "Plenty of effort and we kept going which is a positive we lose the forwards battle on that small pitch almost every home game giving the backs no platform to perform and it goes downhill from there '"
I agree with all of that, losing experienced forwards Liam Higgins, Alex Szostak and Joe Hirst and Ben Jones suffering injuries has weakened us a lot, just when we need to be winning the forward battle at home. Eddie, Jack, Tom and Will all look decent prospects but they aren't the finished article. We aren't getting the quick play the balls and offloads which give the half backs time to build more constructive attacks, and frustration with always being on the back foot seems to be leading to some poor decision making at times. Confidence must also be taking a knock. Lets hope we can put together a decent enough performance on Sunday to give some impetus for the rest of the season.
