If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Frederick Douglas

We need to up our game or sooner or later we'll come unstuck.
We didn't respect the ball or the opposition today and we weren't prepared to put in the hard yards. We tried to score miracle try's off every play for a while and Rochdale rightly ground there way back in.
Rochdale were well organised and played with a lot of spirit.
Two points but a very poor display.

I'm not having a dig at you, but the fact you mentioned cutting out the errors is both an observation and an excuse for how poor we played,

Converting the west to the promised land

Re: Daunting trip to the table-topping hornets : Sun Feb 19, 2017 6:42 pm  
Just got back. Boy what an awful game that was. No one covered them selfs with glory today. Poor performances all round.
Rochdale had a game plan of upsetting our rhythm today. Plenty of stops in play and plenty of niggle. And on top of that, an awful display of refereeing.
But once again, we do our usual and start poorly, and let in our customary first try of the game and that set the tone of the match. Our completion rate must have been around the 20% mark in the first half. Awful, awful, awful!!
We tried but our effort was well below what I want to see in a rovers team. We can count ourselves very lucky we didn't lose that one.
Amazing tho what we put up with as fans. Wigan beat Cronulla to become world champs while we just survive beating Rochdale. How far we have fallen.

The point I was trying to make is that this is a team in development, we have some young, untried and inexperienced players who need time to find their feet at this level.
The expectation of the fans is at present, greater than the sum of the teams ability. Given time and the right coaching we will win much easier than we are at present.

But I was not trying to excuse our performances, just offer a reason why.

I can live with this kind of disjointed performance for now, just don't want to see them in August.

3 games 3 wins. 2 away from home against 1 our biggest threat in the division and the other against unbeaten form team.
Terrible start for a new team finding its way isn't it...
Shows they have far more about them than last year's team who would have lost at least one of those games.
Positives....not being bullied, keep going. Showing lots of potential. I'll judge them better after a dozen plus games.

Re: Daunting trip to the table-topping hornets : Sun Feb 19, 2017 7:52 pm  
You can't do better than win 3 from 3, even though the last 2 performances were ugly bug*ers.

In wet conditions, we are always going to need to grind out results like today against pumped up physical teams until we mature as a collective unit and gain confidence. Having 2 successive home games now will help in this regard.

Rochdale will be top half in this division this year, so a good result today in spite of the poor completion rates, poor execution and missed conversions.

Did somebody mention Lisa Stansfield? Great singer, brilliant live performer and cracking down to earth Rochdale lass. Never mind Gracie Fields. Lisa is still Rochdale's finest imo. I'd prefer her at Craven Park later in the year instead of Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott.
