Team spirit has dissipated don’t know why
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.
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!!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.
