We were playing really well when Sheaf was conducting things in midfield but he needed to go off before he injured himself. We ended the game with Palmer, Allen and Kelly in midfield none of which are starting calibre players for a playoff contending team. Incremental progress, building the...

He tried to do exactly that and the striker was right on him. An absolute hospital pass from Thomas.

Agreed, the team was a spent force tonight which was a concern going into tonight. That doesn’t excuse Thomas back passes. Collins was 100% at fault for goal number one, but not number 3.

What could he have done? He’s kicked the ball into the striker and it’s gone in. I don’t think he could’ve made a clever touch past him either. It was a terrible back pass and it’s not exactly Thomas’ first time doing it - a v similar incident to Watford at home.

100%. He couldn’t just dive on the ball, I had a good view of it unfortunately and Thomas nearly went and did it again moments later.

Good effort from the team today given the context of an emotionally and physically draining FA Cup semi final at the weekend. At 2-2, we should’ve won the game but we had nothing after Sheaf came off. We look lost in midfield without him. However, that does not excuse the defence and Collins...

We are 3 points off playoffs if we win our games in hand. It takes 1 loss or 2 daws for us to claw that back. To quote Neil Warnock, we’ve got to ‘die for 3 points’. Personally, I think 4 wins is too big an ask, but if results go our way, 3 wins and a draw could do it too.

Jim Same boat here! I’m not 100% ready for the 2 hour commute after work to watch football! We go again and a good 3 points to keep the dream alive is what the doctor ordered! Despite my pessimism today!

I know you wouldn’t agree. We have 2 left backs and 2 GK. Therefore, they are ‘nice to have’ rather than a need. AM - we only have Palmer and Allen going into 2024/25 CM - only Eccles, Sheaf and Torp - that’s not enough for 46+ games RW - only Sakamoto ST - Simms and Wright are starters with...

Agreed. Our starting point from last season is a lot stronger. Midfield needs more bodies out wide (RW) and centrally (AM & CM) as a priority. Personally, it’s area I feel we’ve lacked the most against too half teams too. Afterward, a striker is needed to replace Godden and keep Simms/Wright...

As a rule of thumb, if Rugby League is one of your towns favourite sports… You’re from a shithole 😂

There’s a lot of underestimating how much is needed to be an automatic challenging team. There’s a lot of improvement required to be a Top 4 team. We’ve got a good foundation, but a long way to go still.

Exactly, I’m sure ‘first point of contact’ was in the context of playing the ball. That’s at least how it used to be interpreted. You’re right, that scenario you highlight would be ‘onside’ in theory. In practice, you couldn’t see them ruling it onside.

Sounds like he’s basing his ‘factual decision’ on the incorrect frame… It is offside in the given frame but was that the ‘first point of contact?’ Its open to interpretation, but in my view, it’s a dribble move and then he chips it through. Again, referee’s won’t even call out a referee even...

Pulling ranks to look after their own.

It’s a must-win game and our season really hangs on winning tonight. However, after such an emotionally draining game on Sunday, you’d think Hull have the advantage. Personally, I’m predicting a draw which does nothing for either side.

We’re not signing players for depth, there’s a lot of improvement needed to be at the top end of the Championship. The main difference is that last season we had to bed a whole team in. This year we can slowly integrate to the starting berths. The key is getting them in earlier in the window...

Doesn’t really suit their narrative though… Keane was wallowing in how far ‘his’ club had fallen. Imagine the coverage and fixation on VAR had it been Saturday’s game or Man U scored the goal? Trying not to be tin foil hat man btw, it was convenient timing to bring out the measuring sticks and...

If Tavares is injured, what else can you do? Unless you play 5 at the back with Thomas, Binks and Kitching as we did against Wednesday. We’ve ran out of squad again - the league campaign and cup fixtures have taken their toll. We need the summer to come around again to get new players in. It’s...

A good £20m could get us the players we need to be a top 4 team, comfortably. Add in some Vik money and we’d have a lot. We have to be honest and acknowledge that we need more next season. I’d expect about 4 or 5 new starters in the team for next season.
