Guest Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Well I never......who could possibly have foreseen this.... oh yeh of course we're "always on the lookout for players". Might as well switch the lights off. I'll go Sunday while there is the faintest glimmer but may well be my last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporter Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Time to be positive, Town are at their best when their backs are to the wall! At the moment we have a fit squad of eighteen: Jarrod Sammut Kris Coward Dec Hulme Brett Phillips Jason Mossop Perry Whiteley Liam McAvoy Callum Phillips Tom Walker Jamie Doran Carl Forber Matt Gee Karl Olstrum Steve Scholey Alex Szostak Ryan Verlinden Graeme Mattinson Oliver Gordon If injuries don't recover, if a loan player doesn't arrive, I am sure the above lads will do us proud!

I wish I had your optimism. We have become a team that doesn't know how to win. We get into winning positions and manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I hope we can dig ourselves out of the hole we are in, but I am not sure we can. Losing becomes a habit, confidence ebbs away, its a hard thing to turn around. We managed it last season because Sammut came in (exactly a year ago this week) and gave everyone a boost but its difficult to see where that boost will come from this season.

The lads will give it their all I'm sure, as always. (But even that probably won't be enough to save us)Unfortunately it's the BOD that have let us down.

Have we actually had a "full" quad to pick from this year? This is depressing as F, i still believe we can stay up, defeat this weekend may just end any hope!

(But even that probably won't be enough to save us) Unfortunately it's the BOD that have let us down. Unfortunately that's a consequence of spending too much on too few. Our smaller unbalanced squad is now paper thin with not enough backs which was always the case when we loaded up with props. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post was probably more of a dig at how we've gone backwards as a club (My opinion) one quote that I think sums up a lit of people's feelings was from this forum not so long back and went something like "If the club doesn't care about me why should I care about the club?"I agree we've had bad luck with injuries, but still not 100% convinced we had a good enough squad to start with.

Hasn't Walker got a groin injury ? Mattinson came off with 10 mins to go limping on Sunday and I'm not to sure how fit Alex is , hes certainly had his share of injury and is a shadow of his former self . On a positive note , both your Aussie props are playing really well at them moment, Gordon was outstanding on Sunday and whilst stood with my leigh friends they were well impressed. Mr Verlinden is a bloody handful and if he can start to get an offload away and someone get up and support him it will damage teams, Need some outside back quickly , it such a shame when the two young lads get their chance they both only last a week each, Ritson should be okay for this week , the contact didn't look that bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 ... Mr Verlinden is a bloody handful and if he can start to get an offload away and someone get up and support him it will damage teams, I wondered that too, I have never seen him offload. Maybe under instruction? But he does look the part now and is tying in a lot of defenders and causing heaps of problems. Good to see. How did Callum Philips play at Leigh? Isn't on the pitch enough for me though he doesn't seem his normal dynamic self at present - More instruction or just sick of getting his block knocked off ?

wonky Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Haha, call me mystic wonky. Looks like jp will be back in a town top on sunday. Cant understand why we didnt put more effort to get him signed on after his efforts last year, thought it was his best spell with town and certainly knows where the try line is. Not sure on sammut at full back though, looks like hulme will get the nod there. Jp outside perry would be some size and strength to stop for swinton. the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
