These are the tough games that shape our season. I listened to Noble earlier in the week and like he said, if we lose due to some brilliant skill we have to take that on the chin. But a few times this year we've lost due to poor concentration and basically throwing the game away. York/Barrow at home being prime examples of this and we face them both over the next two weeks.


We are over halfway now and need to start showing we have learnt from previous mistakes. 

Bottle jobs. One set to defend  and couldn't manage it. 

A solid 20 minute performance from the Bulls. Oh dear.

I don't know where to start!
How many times is this going to happen?
Mistakes, mistakes and more mistakes. Far too many to go into. Hurrell should be nowhere near this team, his defence is much worse than Gill's.


We really needed this win but once again could not perform when it mattered.


Something needs to be sorted out and quickly.

Not it be overly dramatic. But I think that's our season done right there.  I can't see us wrestling second from York. Even if we beat them in two weeks (which I can't see) 


I don't think we recover from this. There's only really Souter to come back from injury.  No else really that I think really improves us. 


Too many players who simple aren't good enough who Noble refuses to drop. He's lost the plot in selection. Changing your spine during the game NEVER works. Meadows will probably be back next week, we'll have another shuffle round and somehow end up with Hallas throwing crap passes at Hooker again. 


That last set summed it up. No composure, no idea. Kick it to Hooley, who caught it to be fair and had no one around him to offload to. Why not kick Okunbor who scored in the first set from a kick?

I said it after the York Semi final and after York the other week. 


The mentality is weak within this club that when we get opportunities to reach finals or create space between the teams below us we completely bottle it. 


We had yet another opportunity to go joint top today and we just can never handle any pressure, we are weak. 


Yet again, Barrow do the double over us. Why Lawrence, our most experienced player and captain gives away a set restart 30m out which they go and score from, when we were in the lead, just sums this club up perfectly. We are bottle jobs, we are weak and something has to change because it happens season after season and I'm getting sick of it.
