Not the way we played today Puggie, a bloody disgrace! I don't know who the clown is that popped his head in the box where Stanky was watching the game and said "looks like it's time for a new coach?" but the game plan was there and only used in the first 10/15 minutes then it went out of the window. Totally down to certain players not following what they'd gone through in training. One or two will be lucky to still be at the club by this time next week when we come up against a far better team than today's opposition!

After the first 10 mins they had not even got into our half we were 10 nil up,and for what ever reason it all started to go wrong,seemed every time Spur got the ball he was bursting through us.
Both in the last 20 of the first half and the last 20 of the second we had to defend wave after wave of their attacks which apart from a couple of times in the second half we succeeded in doing.
But attacking wise we did not look to have a clue after the first 10 mins we lost the game ourselves against not very good opposition and we need to find some ideas or players who understand and can carry out the coaches game plans quickly.

...and just remind me who brought these players to hornets!

I am down on reecord as saying that it will be a dark day for Hornets the day John Stankevitch leaves us. I am well-known as a big Goulding supporter but to be honest JS is better than he was. JS has detailed game-plans and if the players fail to follow them then there is nowt he can do immediately.

Four minute miler, JS brought the players to the club and they were the players that beat 'Haven, Keighley, Workington and very nearly Swinton. Yes there is the odd down-side but just rmember JS had much less to play with in his budget than coaches like Jason Demetriou who just pops into the market when his team gets beaten and brings in Super League players.

I was going into the office to get my stuff after the match and passed JS on his way to the dressing-room and I wouldn't like to have been the players right then I can tell you, a happy bunny he was not!!

If we want better players then we need to give the coach more money and we cannot give him more money until we get more from gates etc, so bring a friend, join the lottery, join the club and we'll build from the bottom and let others speculate with money they may not have!

The players we have at Hornets have come for the coach and because they like the club and not money, Ainscough was offered terms here I'm told but chose Swinton for the better money, personally, if that's all that motivates him I'm glad he didn't come!

Pugwash.

[four minute miler]

so martin aiscough chooses to work for the employer who offers him the most money. hardly makes him any different from the rest of us!

Andrew get real, money speaks all languages and opens all doors. And as for building from the bottom change the record.

[STERLO]

The Coach is always the fall guy when players not performing Mal.
Not 1st or last to have his head called for @ nets.
Is this supporter not entitled to an opinion ?
(Like all the other speccies banned from this forum with an opinion)

Also our old kit man wouldnt wash dirty kit in Public.
This poor performance should be dealt with internally.
Im sure if players are being released JS would not appreciate you going
public on here about it 1st ! Leave the hiring n firing to him.
You concentrate on the dirty kit.

Since when did my opinion om a game become wrong, I simply stated something that I feel is justified....my opinion not the coach, chairman or anyone else!
Whatever my capacity within the club is it has no bearing on what I feel as a fan. Our 'old' kitman has always voiced his opinion on this and the old forum and rightly so as he, like myself is a Hornets fan.
As for the coach being the fall guy I wouldn't argue with that, but only when he's been shown to fall short on a regular basis as with Darren Abram, not after one or two under-par performances!
As for me concentrating on the 'dirty kit' just send in your application and I'll gladly let you have a crack at it! You obviously have little idea of what is required of a 'kitman'?

[PooingDog]

Stanky to go? Never heard anything so ridiculous. I doubt there's another coach out there that can put such a competitive team out (all be it with the occasional hiccup) with the money we can afford to give him.

It's a telling point of how far we've come that people expect a win against a team one below us, and despite how bad we played we only lost by 10 points.

[ornit4ever]

Hornets have improved massively in the past couple of seasons and our coach deserves special mention for the improvements with such limited resources.

One particular aspect he has excelled in is the professionalism that he has brought and that costs nothing to our club, only a very good coach is capable of that.

Keep up the good work John, we are all behind you in what you are trying to achieve.

[glemiln]

Let's not not overlook the fact that our coach has had to contend with a run/scale of injuries that any team would find difficult to overcome, especially Hornets with its limited resources.
Undoubtedly, the loss to Donny was a huge (and unexpected) blow given the recent results at Keighley and Swinton. Certainly, it has been evident on several occasions this season that the team has underperformed. Yet, we are still in the mix in a very closely fought league and hopefully Stanky can rally the troops for the final run-in.

I'll change the record mate when you come up with another way of doing things instead of just wittering on that the club is going about it the wrong way.

Please give us some insight into your infinite wisdom on these matters and put us on the right track!

P*** or get off the pot!

The day I take any instruction off someone like you will be a first, talk about pot and kettle you have spent your life belly aching about this that and the other, I ll have my say like it or lump it as I could not care less what you think you floated about in the background grumbling and writing to the Observer for years.

Hear Hear and they did play BAD THE team NOT the coach
As for
the clown that popped his head in the box where Stanky was watching the game and said "looks like it's time for a new coach?"
You do not speak for me

As for Stanky going NO
But there are a couple of players who yesterday let their team mates down
and also the fans
these are the ones who need to go

As for others wanting big money to play for Hornets well that ain't gonna happen
we just haven't got the money and I for one don't begrudge Ainscough going to play
for Swinton for the money he was in talks with Hornets but we could'nt offer the money
as a co-op we just do not have the funds
MOTM Cookson well deserved

As an outsider looking in, talk of getting rid of Stankevitch is ludicrous.

He's not our favourite for historical reasons, but none of those are to do with his coaching ability. He has seemingly improved every club he has taken over, at least in the short term, and needs to be given the chance to prove he can do it long term
