Well a weekend off - shall not start a topic on this being a RFL mistake ( we need continuity of games) - so lets look forward to our next game - another winnable game for us - we were so much better than York in our home game but it will be a different story at their ground, if we continue from the Halifax game we should be okay, but as we all know a different game,a different performance,a different result, but has Steve has just said on the website we have moved forward this season and we should not take any game for granted.

Going away and winning is always tough . If we continue the way we have played recently barring the keighley second half we should win but Im sure it will be close and much harder than the home fixture.
The number of fixtures in this league is a joke. The seasons nearly over!

[duffymoon]

At least next season with the four extra teams in the Championship we will have more games with possibly the Northern Rail being a straight knock out competition.

[mark richardson]

Itd be great if rochdale and oldham found some form to provide two local fixtures.

Still a chance for Oldham but can't see Rochdale being in the mix.

I think if we can get 2 wins out of next 2 matches then we have Sheffield at home I think given our form at home is winnable could get us on fringe of playoffs, next couple of weeks are vital in where we end up. If we can lets get up to York and cheer the boys on.

Think the York game will be tougher than some seem to think.They gave a good account of themselves against Sheffield and blew a big lead against Keighley.Apparently one or two new signings and some back from injury to bolster their ranks so we will need to guard against complacency.

[greengrass]

Yeah I agree mate, but they not winning a game and us competing with the top teams in our league (apart from 2nd at half Keighley) I would be very disappointed if we dont pick up the points on Sunday. I feel as every week passes we are getting stronger and use to the speed and power of the championship and still feel like we can get in them playoff's which would be a massive acheivment in our first season.

Think it will be close. Given the rotten weather a low scoring game . 18 12 to us .

[marshy1]

Swinton 36 York 18 for me.

[greengrass]

you think we will score that many Alan?

[Blakemore]

26-22 to york

[duffymoon]

I think it will be a close game but would like to think we will win.As someone has already stated the weather could be influential.

[greengrass]

why do you think we will get beat Blakemore?

Anyone remember about twenty years ago when York postponed a match about an hour before kick off due to a water logged pitch? Was not impressed..

Just to let you guys know the Knights reserves match tonite against Fev was called off the Ref called it 1/2hour before K/off,people
not happy Ref said water filled holes on pitch,hopefully the pitch will be in a better state for Sundays game, forecast better for weekend, all knights fans are looking forward to this game we will have players available from long layoffs and some new blood,we have not been playing badly against Fev,Leigh,Halifax,Sheffield we should have won,and Batley,but the young guns just run out of powder,we will be up for this one.

I do Mark. We ended up, if I recall correctly, going to watch Bradford v Leigh which ended up 4-0 and I ended up with a frozen left side of my face as the weather was atrocious and howled in from one side all game. Should have gone t'pub!

We drove to odsal and thought sod that and went home! There is,unbelievably, talk on the York forum of fox damage to the pitch and with this unrelenting rain Ill be keeping a close eye on things before I set off on Sunday.
