Thanks for your efforts, China Bull and thanks too to Bull on a Canary for catching the baton and running with it.

Re: Workington Town (A) : Sun Mar 20, 2022 3:42 pm  

come again Mr Bongser ... you are most welcome

Re: Workington Town (A) : Sun Mar 20, 2022 3:45 pm  

so let the dissecting begin .... just listening we never got going and Worky were stubborn (nut and shell???)

It may have only been winless, rock bottom Worky but well done all the same. There's an old saying that one can only beat what's in front of you. It's not true; one can also lose to it (as witnessed by Saints' slip at previously winless, rock bottom Toulouse). You didn't do the latter so enjoy tonight's beer.

well without listening to the last 10-15 ... doesnt sound like we were spectacular, if we got the result then basically we just played for that

That was my impressions from the commentary

We never really looked like losing, but we didn't ever look like putting them to the sword either

already had the beers and close to midnight ... but as you say, a wins a win. listening is one thing but seeing the game (hopefully later this week) one can scope better the performance.

Losing Ant Walker in 2nd minute didn't help.
Struggled in forward battle after he sent off.

Always a tricky place to go so I'm happy we've come away with the win. Any news on the Walker injury? Could do without any more injuries to the forwards after the club announced that Dan Fleming has been ruled out for 4 months with a pectoral injury.

Decent win. Never easy place to go to and sounded like Workington made us work hard for the 2 points. Week off probably just comes at right time to refresh and ready for London who seem to be picking up their performances.
