Some of us have higher expectations than others.

i'm sure theyve happily settled in the area and been offered a very good deal. Surely the most important things to them. My only evidence is what I see on the pitch. Ive been watching Rovers for a long time and what Ive seen in many games this year is poor body language, not playing for each other, lack of intensity and committment, generally underachieving. Actions speaks louder than words comes to mind.

Pause the replay as he lands and tell me he"s a 'good foot' short (i.e.suggesting more than a foot) Not sure why I'm asking that - I know what your response will be - whether you believe it or not.

Laughable that Fax are claiming a draw as one of Hall's conversions supposedly missed. If they want to see an injustice Briscoe clearly scored. I also thought Lineham hit the line with ball then it came loose so looked wrong but I am biased. Difficult to see on replay. Hall def offside.

Were you at the Fax end ?????

I dont claim to have (or know someone who has) any inside knowledge but just going on what I have seen this year they haven't looked like a happy bunch.

Who said they had ?

I'm not saying they're not happy but they're not likely to say anything else are they ? Maybe they've been told that McD is on his way. Pleased about Killer.

and I'm sure that every single Rovers fan would rather have Hall, Smith, Ford, Jacks and Jones but like you say its all about opinions.

Think the lack of responses says a lot. I'll go for... 1. Smith 2. Moors 3. Jones Well done to the village idiots shouting abuse at Holmes from a few feet away when he was lining up his kicks. It really worked lads. #embarrassing.

Just remembered .... Koppy and Springer. However as suggested above it was still a very strong line up....too strong to use it a reason for not reading anything into the result / performance.

Who do you think we were resting just out of interest ?

Lingaro I'm glad you said this. I spent the whole game getting increasingly annoyed at this situation. I'm no fan of Joey but he is never given the ball in any space. Briscoe works tirelessly but if I was him I'd leave the club. It beggars belief that McD does not see our wasted potential. 60 + points today and it was a mess. Everything from individual bits of skill from the likes of Hall,Smith and of course Jones who was a class apart - but little team work. Add that to the usual defence where we seem to let players with the biggest waste-line waddle over and I just can't see what McD can take from it......

You beat me to it

Absolutely but given the 70 nil scoreline last time surely it highlights yet again our deterioration more than any improvement from Widnes.

Not sure where to start with that..... Probably started with the Rowley era. Didnt like him or some of his players at that time. Going overboard celebrating their opponents mistakes etc. (Seen much of the same under Lam actually) Beaumont - say no more Bending the rules as far as possible. Still cant believe they got away with the 2018 shield debacle. Apparently having no money to put a team out then miraculously challenging again in 2019. Being gifted the 2021 SL place. At the time many said that we didnt actually want it. Poison Chalice and all that. I don't go along with that. I think the position they are in now has a lot to do with that decision The supporters. We get so much stick about a small minority of our younger supporters but some of the Leigh fans take same beating. Especially that big fat pudding that brings a mini bus. What a vile piece of work he is. Admittedly some envious reasons as well. I mean we used to win the League for fun until promotion was first mentioned in 2014 then Leigh woke up. They've been the bane of our lives since then. Injuries. As usual we've had our share this year and doesnt it always seem to be key players ? Seriously Ive watched Fev for 40+ years and I cant even comprehend a season where injuries have not had a significant impact. Leigh somehow carry on regardless So overall maybe some reasons are childish but aren't they the same unjustified reasons that want us to see Cas lose every week ? Anyway I reserve my right to throw my teddy out of the cot.

We're not great with injury updates but seriously ?......

I dislike Leigh for many reasons and hope they lose every game next year but I think you are way off with this. They'd stuff Wakey at the minute thats for sure. Do you know Chris Green has barely played this year ?

I"m seriously starting to believe thats not the case Robin. Not at this level anyway. We'll see.

I keep hearing about the spirit of 83 but we have to be realistic. We had a coach,team spirit and 15 players that put their neck on the line.

I despair. Ffs McD doesnt even use 4 subs. He must be worth a spot. Give him 2 15 minute bursts and tell him to break a few ribs.

What's the record low crowd ? Sunday must beat it.....

If only we could forfeit. Definitely would be the best outcome.

Relative to expectations though. Hope : despair ratio.

Which other team matters ?
