I know of people who are watching these games on dodgy streams for nowt so they can go Foxtrot Oscar if they deem that to be acceptable.

No refunds then.

Re: Round 1: Sheffield : Sun Apr 04, 2021 3:11 pm  

erm ... just had a look at the league tables, are they doing points diff or points diff%??? surely that's gonna reward a boring defensive game rather than an attacking style of play. .... who thought of that one (if true) ... e.g .... team wins 10-5 diff% 200 .... team wins 30-16, more points greater points diff but diff% 187.5. please tell me im dreaming

edit ... that sucks you cant a refund, sure you pay full to see the game FROM THE START but didn't you only get a reduced entrance to a game when attending from half time. I assumed full entrance fee to see the full game.

Expect this sort of cricket score for a good majority of the season folks.

Poor quality players, unfit and inexperienced as a group, combined with suspensions and injuries we a fubarred and will be lucky to beat relegation.

The bigger issue is that we simply cant buy any quality players, because we are run on a shoe string to balance the books.

weren't there the same limitations on the team last season??? or the season before ... yet we still more than competed and narrowly lost against a super duper league team in the challenge cup. inexperienced as a group?, yet most have come through the academy together

RFL have confirmed refunds in next few days and rightly so for that coverage. Even when it played the 2nd half it seemed jittery. Or was that just how we played?!

I suspect the budget has been further tightened and this has lead to the playing roster this year.

Loads predicted a sherlacking at Fev rovers and it happened. This week was much of the same and the Fax game will be another heavily loss (due to the reasons i gave).

Tbh If most of these came through the academy together, then we should expect a better product on the field, dont you think?

Unless, you can give a better explaination why this and last weeks performace was so bad?

Very hard to find anything positive about todays debacle. Maybe that Jowitt looked sharp even playing out of his normal position

Re: Round 1: Sheffield : Sun Apr 04, 2021 4:12 pm  

Any reasons for optimism?

We’ve been second best (by far) the last 2 games not just in quality but in effort, fitness, experience and pretty much everything else.

The lack of fight isn’t something I’ve associated with a John Kear side before. Who was firing them up and asking for a bit of pride when we were conceding back to back? The camera angle didn’t show the countless huddles behind the sticks but the captain also has questions to answer when half of the team don’t look bothered.
