Was a poor performance from KR, some laughable defending in the middle of the park when two props can fly through gaps to score! I think any team in SL apart from Quins would have beat us yesterday, pretty much everthing we did was very pedestrian. Couple of players stood out, Sheriff and Galea where my top picks and Welham, Webster and Cockayne. Dobson not looking up to full match fitness yet but it will come.

Not sure if my 'Morgan out' line yesterday was an overeaction after another terrible performance, but I just don't see what else we can do. As a team I feel we've ground almost to a halt the last 1-2 seasons. So many of our players had the ability in 2008 and 2009 to be exciting, entertaining players. For them to now be 'up the jumper' players you can only assume that they have had the flair coached out of them. If so, I feel we need a change, because one-man, predictable rugby will get you nowhere in SL these days IMO.

Totally agree no pace in our team and if we dont do something about it we will just be among the also rans,as well as the fact the club cant afford to move forward on crowds like yesterday's.We need to be brave and say thanks but on your way justin if we want to get better.

You fell and banged your head?

No i'm a realist and dont just see things through red and white glasses.I want us to win trophies or be a challenging club but if you are honest we are nowhere near to being either. We have gone backwards for 2 years falling from 4th to our present position and have won 5 of our last 16 games.

we were poor yesterday but i cant see how we can be calling for morgan out yet.
we have been extremely unlucky so far this season with injury where as previous years we have been fortunate not too have too many injuries to key players.
when you lose the likes of dobson and newton, big key players it changes the dynamics of the team. And if you look at the last couple of games without dobson we were playing better, a win against leeds and a decent performance against wigan. we then bring dobson back in and the shape of the team changes again and the players have to adapt again.
i think we are still 2 or 3 games away from being at our best.
Finally all the media coverage that has followed us around for the past few months is also unsettling for the team and the supporters. as already said the atmosphere was flat yesterday and was almost like we were expecting a defeat. we didnt get behind the team until late on into the second half.
Its just a tough period for rovers at the moment and the last thing we need is to make it any worse.

We finished fourth in a season where alot of clubs underachieved massively and rovers overachieved. In your so called brilliant season we went on to lose all our playoff games. The season after we managed to win our 1st playoff game despite finishing 7th. That win which wasn't so long ago with a not so different team was a massive achievement for our club. We've made massive progress under Morgan and because of a few bad games with arguably our two best players missing for all but 2/3 games your ready to jump in and castrate Morgan. I'd say your not a realist at all. a realist would recognise the progress we've made and realise that we are going to have bumps along the way especially with the way this season has unfolded. I'll judge Morgan at the end of the season when we've hopefully managed to field somewhere near his best side and not 10 games into a so far very distracting and unfortunate season.

Well said easty fine if this poor playing continues to the end of the season then there could be issues that need sorting, I have faith in Morgan and the way foxy was trying to get the fans fired up to me suggests they to are frustrated, I think we will see a different side at Waki.

I think a huge improvement might make us also rans.
