The first half we were still at Wakefield Second showed how poor Rovers are with all their injuries and 3 debutants We had players back fully fit Yet from 16-16 we couldn’t win it with all the momentum and a much better team on the pitch This team can win the GF - Radford is right However for it to happen then Lee would be watching from the stands as a fan
Back to the drawing board with the tactics. 2 years ago we built a side around size and aggression and that gave Sneyd time and space to put in some clever kicks.
Since then we’ve lost Ellis, Pritchard, Fonua, Watts, even Thompson had a bit of grunt in him and aside from Faraimo being a decent if not quite as good replacement for Fonua we havent replaced the others.
Far too many average squad players about now, good move to ship Turgut on today, but id cull some others too and free up space for a big new arrival or two to give us a spark.
With the amount of good ball we had near their line, literally any other team in the league would have beat them tonight. I know the rain was bad but we just didn't look like we had a clue what to do. None of the players move. They just stand still and wait for the ball to get to them, then they set off running. It's so slow and predictable, and the reason we can never give our wingers an overlap. Faraimo was making solid yards all night but not once we did pass him the ball near their line and let him have a go at barging over. Forget signing new players, sign somebody new to the coaching team who can get us moving the ball properly and at speed.
abdull isn't doing it for me and sneyd is playing on one leg, would give harris a go, disappointed in manu tonight, we just looked tired for long parts, the effort is there but just not firing, if am honest be glad if the season finished now so we can start afresh next year, we are at where we are, that's sport,
once a black and white always a black and white COYH
