We had a right side centre sat at home on furlough

The 6ft 4” 105kg centre

You can be what you want chief including being your usual sarcastic self, my reply was in response to a poster what was asking if we were prepared to pay more for better players, or stay as we are buying squad players who it would seem aren't prepared to come and play for next to nothing, hope that goes some way to explain my post.

Stats are up and shows there wasn’t that much difference in the forwards...maybe their bench had more impact than ours but Fifita and Arona statistically stood up well enough against their opposing players...difference between the two teams was blatantly obvious and I’d pay no blame to anyone...we go again next week...

What’s our record 5 wins out of 26 games ? Can’t all be down to refs and luck. Can’t see us getting much joy out of next few games either. Perhaps we just expect too much But can honestly say have never been quite so disappointed

He's not very good at it. What he does is obvious. He will get penalised left right and centre against the top teams. When will people get it that referees cheat the smaller clubs. Even the idiots on the BBC questioned several of his decisions today... each one was in favour of catalan. He wasn't the reason we lost but how many times over the last 10 seasons has anyone on here seen a penalty reversed for rushing in... I'll bet never.

If that's the case why are we signing backs?

I would guess it maybe cheaper to take loan signings than pull a player off furlough onto the payroll? Could be that Ken is paying Senior's wage in return for a guarantee of regular 1st team action.?

Oh! I hadn't realised that we lost 0-58 last week until the team of commentators told us...................about 10 times!!! And, would you believe it, but in the opening sequence we even had a shot of Don Fox missing THAT goal. The poor lad.

:thumdb:

Maybe so....I wouldn't feel too great about it if I was on the receiving end though.

We may save a quid or two, but what about losing valuable first team training time for someone who I'm guessing is one of our young players?

Now that Wembley is out of the equation maybe the priorities will change. But for how long once fickle fans start commenting that we should be aiming to win every game if we want to sell season tickets for 2021.

Tough decision for the people steering the ship.
