I see Powell has had a go at the fans again. Bloke wants to have a look at his team selection instead of moaning at the fans for booing.

Yes I was dissapointed with that. He could have said "paying spectators are entitled to their opinion".

He also confirmed he does not feel under pressure.

Lots of excuses again and it's everyone elses fault. He seems to forget we were playing poorly before Williams was injured and Harrison banned.

I see the goal now is "top 6" aka "6th is good enough".

I fear this is going to get ugly.

The length of time in that box ...the adjustment of the goal to top 6.... I suspect the manner of the next two games saves or loses his job now

Re: Powell OUT : Fri Jun 30, 2023 7:33 am  

Dunno why it irks me so much, but being able to call the CEO a nickname "Fitzy" just doesn't emit professionalism.

Also, on the fans booing piece, I don't boo personally but I'm pretty sure 50% or more of the boos are aimed at Daryl, not the players.

He dropped Wrench last night.
He's complaining about "Drinky" (shudder) having a different halfback partner whilst also commissioning Dean to be away from the club.
His team dont look like they have a set last play move in them.

I'm also confused about this Mikaele piece. If the rumours are true he told us off season, agreed to stay whilst the grub served his first ban and left on a high. Sounds like plenty of notice was given.

Re: Powell OUT : Fri Jun 30, 2023 7:52 am  

Blaming the fans, or injuries, or the schedule or the weather is a sure sign of a coach who knows he has neither the wit, ability or respect to sort things out.

It's cowardly, and when I hear comments/digs about paying customers having the audactity to complain I lose any semblance of sympathy for him, and I fall a little more out of love with the club that allows him to make such comments.

Well I won't be booing against Saints (I don't boo anyway) because I won't be going. I'm not rocking up until DP and KFP have gone. Absolutely sick of us being such a basket case and the lack of direction the club has.

My thoughts exactly

Re: Powell OUT : Fri Jun 30, 2023 8:38 am  

The DP quotes are bizarre.

“If you look at Leeds last season, they were struggling and where did they end up?”

Strange comparison to make. What did Leeds actually do to halt this struggle? The coach resigned before he was pushed and they hired a new coach with new ideas, and he took them to the GF. I’m all up for doing that tbh.

This is a notion that the fans negativity is impacting the players performance, being spouted by the guy who sits alone in the coaches box for 15 minutes after a game, going into a huge game (against the team likely to be directly below us in the table) in 8 days.

If we’re looking to spread some positivity and encouragement, get in the sheds and pick that team up, do your flaming job and get them prepared to get out there next week! It’s a Thursday night, school night, moneys tight and he/the club have the cheek to suggest that the fans aren’t doing their bit!

I’m sorry, that is absolutely absurd. Absolutely ridiculous and without putting to fine a point on it, completely taking the pis

Well he had to have a pop at the fans because the other scapegoat Riley Dean is (bizarrely) at Castleford. Maybe we could all stay away next week (I will be) and see who he blames then? Probably the Saints fans for laughing at us.
