The breaking news from the Chris Hill household is that his wife's gone into labour, which is why he went off early in the second half.

Some great news at last.
Good luck to Chris and family.

Trynone Roberts?
You've bought a good one there.
As for Atkins, I would be having a chat with him.

Staring at opposition players, trying to intimidate them, not realising that he's washed up and in his mid to late 30's.

Him getting the ball in the last seconds....stupid, Pathetic and just plain wrong

Dumb from minute one.


Let's not paper over the game's cracks. We got what we deserved. NOWT.

Leeds did a job on us. Took their chances, defended well. WON. That's what it's all about, boys and girls.

we do play really dumb at times...Westwood, Atkins and Lineham provided good examples of this tonight.

Roberts first game with us, I expected more but harsh to judge off that. He needs to improve the understanding though and fast. Kevin browns decision making in their 20 and last play kicking options are plain awful, frustratingly though I do think he is a good player. We need someone else doing those plays, step-up tyrone.

Russell hasn't added anything to his limited skill set and we still aren't working hard enough off the ball in attack to give out halves options. We need to show some form next week against hudds.

Spot on this, Russell must have it in his contract that he must play.but in fairness most were utter garbage tonight, for me Ratchford was the worst one.

Rome wasn't built in a day. I thought we played ok ish. Leeds goal line defence and our disorganisation whilst Goodwin was off the field were the the reasons we lost tonight.

Ratchford cost us the most points that's for sure. I wish we had managed to sign Jack walker, if for nothing more than to have Ashton golding give us away enough points for us to take the win. He played well walker but we didn't ask enough questions of their defence in all honesty.

I thought we looked better with philbin on the pitch.

and atkins showing off ratchfords howlers,our 2 half backs looking clueless...
