Last week was bad, yesterday was awful and something I certainly didn't see coming. Every facet of our game yesterday was poor, can't think of anything positive to take from it at all, even the crowd looked poor.

Massive improvement needed Friday,  if we lose that we're not far off from a crisis.

Just as an aside, read some of the comments from the Warrington game earlier. The praise for the players and coach was amazing , it's only four weeks and apparenthy we've gone from bridging the gap to SL to having bad players, recruitment and coaches.

It's what's known as #FFM Fickle Fan Mentality. Everybody, all of a sudden have coaching badges, know what all the squad do on Tues/Thurs nights & Saturday mornings, what injuries they are carrying etc. The list goes on. The 'We've Got Allan Coleman' banner/flag has gone back in the drawer until we next win, when will it be unfurled again, who knows, only time will tell? It's okay to have an opinion, it's a forum. We didn't play well, at all, but when a below par performance is hampered by 80yd interceptions, etc, you know it's not going to be your day. Oldham will be a tough ask on G Friday.

Agree with all of that, but what does worry me slightly is that all of the teams in the Championship seem very capable on their day, just like us.  However, we have won just three games - two by just 2 points, and the other by 4, albeit against decent sides.  But our points difference is very telling at minus 23 over the 5 games, largely contributed by the margin of the losses.  Without the will to stay in the fight we lose a big part of our strength.  Let’s hope Alan can get them chiming in the backs and gaining yardage in the forwards on Friday because that is what that quality Oldham side will be doing………..when is JJ back because we need him in the forwards and the back to score points.  Just 18 in the last 2 games………yikes!!

I wonder if the Warrington gzme took an awful lot out of us. I recall after we won the World Club Challenge in 1989 ẁe were awful for the next 6 or so games. 

Sadly those only turning up for KO time will have missed that indication of the club broadening its efforts.

colemans asset was he got the best from average players but that now doesn't seem to be the case and has a 2 year contract so let's hope he can turn it round ! Looking at the fixtures though another few hidings and all the goodwill will vanish and we back into Kear and finnegan eras the club seems to have run aground yet again and because it's happened sooo many times to us the fans won't take much more 

hope it can be salvaged before then

Because the difference between now and then is the type of performance I can understand the wire game is a different mentality because the cup and a local rivalry and all that however if the players can’t gee themselves up for “ lesser ” opposition then we have real problems look at Coleman’s interview he says will give Oldham a crack cos they have the money and are the big boys! No we should be giving every team a crack every game we should be right up for it no matter if it’s barrow or Oldham. We got dumped out the cup we had ambitions of winning then we get absolutely battered by barrow at home with no response at all to the previous week fans are gonna moan and have an opinion because the last 2 weeks have been absolutely terrible. We was lucky enough at the start of the season to scrape wins when we was playing poorly (apart from toulouse) and at least in them games we shown so commitment to the club and each other now we look completely lost. Some big decisions needed a real test for Coleman let’s see if he’s up to it.
