Anonymouse Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Not easy recruiting as there are a lot of clubs competing for the same players agreed but the surplus of Champ level players will sign for clubs like Batley rather than travel and town cant afford a squad of travellers .

town4me Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 T.B.H never expected to get anything today. One thing to bear in mind is points difference as it's going to be so tight at the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old standoff Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Sounds pretty pathetic second half said Sammut was the only one showing any enthusiasm a lot of the others seemed to be lacking. fitness wise, going to be a long struggle I am afraid . Sammut can't do it all on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't be subsiding like that We shouldn't, I never expected to win that one but I think we all know that this squad is capable of producing better than that.. Are we bottom now ? why was the Oldham game off ? let's hope they make them play it midweek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbria29 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 People talk about finances and yes top to bottom there is a big gulf in the division but didn't we finish higher than Batley last year ? They don't have a speedway track around the pitch .. We also have a very successful lottery don't we ? Plus naming rights of the stadium ... We have a squad mainly based of locals on the lowest number of bods for a long while ... We are just a long way off being good enough I'm afraid boys and girls .. A major lack of recruitment from the BOD in the close season along with the DR of last year putting locals are out off signing ... Going to be a very long season this one ... The main man is to be questioned I'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donald Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 The league money wise is way to unbalanced summits gotta change another shake up maybe top teams in our league should go super league maybe have 2 leagues of 8 watched haven and Swinton last night wasn't a pretty match to watch and to be fair what I seen of it there won't be much of a gap between the bottom 4 in our league and the top few teams in champ1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ill be honest so far we dont look like a very good side at all.haven oldham swinton home and away and if we pick up on a bit maybe rams at home possibly batley or fev may yield 2 points with big performances. Can't see us getting anything from anywhere else. It could come down to who conceeds the least against the better teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbria29 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Listening to rowley on the radio, it's the third game that the summariser has commented on our fitness ?

maripins Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 i cant see us getting more that 10 points this year. And ill be honest so far we dont look like a very good side at all. Sitting at the bottom of the league and looking at points difference, I think it will take some getting off there.our pack was always the strong point of the side but this season every pack has dominated us.Heard again today that 4 or 5 players had hands on knees and out of puff. We've seen that in our home matches as well. Last time out at home L.McAvoy was out of puff after 10 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearintown Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 A succession of overseas forwards who have done little to improve our squad has sucked up our cash. Disasterous recruitment in the last two years IMO. We needed game changers not plodders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unicorn106 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 If we are being honest I doubt even the most optimistic Town fan would have expected to win any of the first 5 games so let's not get too pessimistic, the only cause for concern is our second half performances in the 2 away games. We were unlucky to be without some of out better players in the first 2 home games and we should have beaten London who are going very well. We were always going to be in a relegation dogfight, we just have to win our games against the others who are down there, If we still haven't got any points after Good Friday, then we would have every reason to be worried.

Maybe Sammut sucked all the juice out of our finances .Don't know. Sammut as not sucked all the juice out of the club, his contract money is being paid by three local business men and not by the club, however if that affects the clubs salary cap I don't know?

Keep the faith UP THE TOWN But Phil said the first 3 games were winnable ..... After this time in the championship we should be established not hanging in relying on other teams being worse than us to make our season interesting !
