Disappointing that we lost in the context of league positions and recent form but there were a number of contributing factors. Playing with only one half, the weather, pritchard going off all went against us gaining the win IMO plus I though leeds' commitment in defence looked a step up from what I've seen of them so far this season. We desperately need a good quality half back who can be on the field most of the time to partner sneyd. I'm bored of us signing mid 30's cast off halfs who are past their best and spend more time sat in the stands than they do playing the game. Unless we do the team will continue to flatter to deceive IMO.
We've had a decent run of results mainly off the back of improved confidence from the last 20 at rovers but really we need to step up a gear and start to put games away and not be in the situation of constantly being in tight games which can go either way. So far we're 3 from 6 in tight games.
Some big games coming up which will define our season. In the next 6 we should be looking to win a minimum of 4, possibly 5, which would put us in a strong position come the split. There is also the possibility we will only win one or two of them which will probably leave us looking over our shoulders and worrying about the middle 8's
