What is the point of Karl Pryce?

Re: Dewsbury Away : Mon Apr 06, 2015 7:09 pm  

He's a big unit...

Re: Dewsbury Away : Mon Apr 06, 2015 7:18 pm  

Perhaps someone should ask KP if he is still a thing?

Re: Dewsbury Away : Mon Apr 06, 2015 7:49 pm  

Well, firstly to say, what a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon out. We gave Dewsbury a ground record crowd, it was a great atmosphere, great weather- whats not to like?

As for the actual performance, well, as usual it was good in parts. There were parts where I thought we played really well, then we seemed to fall away. Credit to Dewsbury though, they muscled up, never gave in and really pushed us.

Honourable mentions today to Walshaw who I thought was our MoM - the way he keeps those long legs pumping always seems to gain an extra ten yards. Also though Halafihi showed up well, and there good stints from Addy and Pitts. Etu on the wing for mine from now on...

But we're still not really firing in the creative department. Seijka was a bit better today, but we're still relying too much on Gaskell and he can't slice through on every play now that the defences are targeting him. Fleming looks like he has been on the pies - needs to spend more time in the gym!

And what a big waste of space Karl Pryce is... Goes into the tackle and hits the ground faster than a sack of potatoes!

I think too much goes through Gaskell. It's making us easy to read. The ball seems to follow him around too much as such we can be too predictable. The default position seems to give him the ball which is understandable but we need more to go through others. Siejka should be demanding the ball a bit more - he seems a bit low on confidence. Addy had a better game today so maybe he can distribute a bit more.

I thought we lived a bit dangerously at times today. Still, a win's a win.

Ref OK today then ??. We must of had our usual ref at Leigh today because we won by quite a few points today against Workington. Its getting ridiculous having him every week now Sorry "Cokey" but i just had to mention the ref ....Refs don't get mentioned much on this board .

Didn't manage to get to the game today (first one I've missed this season) sounds like we played how we have for the last few. Having said that, Jimmy has constantly rotated the squad, which is the right thing to do with such a long season. I think only Clough, Gaskell, O'brien and Pitts have played in all the games. I expect from late may/early June Jimmy will decide on his strongest side and run with that consistently (barring injuries)
If we're still playing bell we par then, then I'd be worried.

Having said all that we need to cut out the sloppiness and start performing better. We have two tough games coming up against Sheffield and London and if we play how we have recently, we will lose.

I also think we are massively missing Mullaney. He's been superb this year. He's just as important as Gaskell and O'brien.

We play Sheffield the week after Doncaster...
If I said our next two league games are London and Sheffield you may have had a point...

Re: Dewsbury Away : Mon Apr 06, 2015 10:33 pm  

And you play London the week before Doncaster..Do you not take one match at a time at your club?
