Northern Eel Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 The rumblings of discontent from the last 3 weeks are quickly gaining volume. How long MD has got to put this right is what nobody knows. There are going to be growing numbers who doubt he will be able to do so. Whatever each fan's thoughts on this are, it is clearly not the start that any of us wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman LMAO Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Every week it's no steps forward and 3 steps backward. We have now lost twice in 9 days to a side that previously had a 0% league record. Simply put, nowhere near good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a few which is staggering. theres loyalty and theres stupidity, then theres Batleys happy clappers! heard him on the radio, im sure its the same interview they play every week, hes like a stuck record. blaming players for not doing what he tells them and taking absolutely no accountability himself. you would think he would revert to plan B by now, he's had 8 momths to get them playing how he wants, its a simple enough game. utterly clueless. I dread to think how many Halifax and Hull KR will get this next 2 games.

Tony F Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 This season is fast turning into the biggest anticlimax since 2014, when we almost went down after having reached the Grand Final at the end of 2013. Yet again, a failure to sustain momentum. The current farce is even more galling for fans who have suffered through many, many years of underachievement. Looks we're shuffling back to where we belong either our tails between our legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't ever see from these people, however, are solutions. What is then your solution? Turn back time to last season? What would it achieve if we got rid of the coach in the middle of the season? Do you have a new one in your pocket that could change everything back to the good old days within a couple of games? I think not. For good or evil we are stuck with Diskin at least until the end of the season. Then we can draw conclusions. And if this realisation means that we are happy clappers, then so be it...

Sorry, but the truly alarming downturn in form and performances - coupled with rumours of serious disharmony behind the scenes, is enough to warrant a concern that we might well be dragged into a relegation scrap. I certainly can't see where the next win is coming from. Our next three games are against Halifax, Hull KR and Oldham - where we lost last season whilst in good form. Three more defeats and wins for those around us will see us in a real fight to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose some could say that they didn't feel Diskin was the right appointment in the first place. Can you imagine the outcry if they had said that at the time?

Well, if I was either a Chairman or a Chief Executive, I'd be using my network of contacts and knowledge of the game to identify a suitable replacement. Other clubs manage to do it - Dewsbury, for example. Alternatively, those in charge could just allow the slump to continue and not make any effort to change things before it's too late?

Kevin has a had good track record with coaches over the last few years, so I think we should have a little more trust in his judgement.

If we have 2 points more than our current total by that stage, we'll have exceeded my expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinb Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Like a lot of people I am really concerned as to what has happened/happening. It seems to me that 1 person is trying to change 25 + people which in itself is ok but not in such a short time. I'll give the benefit of doubt to inexperience BUT at the cost of demolishing structures that the players are used to. Listening to the interviews on radio leeds it did sound like Matt Diskin has a problem accepting the current methods are not his problem it's the players. Sorry but I disagree. He is implementing them without appreciating what he inherited. That is a structured team who had tried n tested methods. Surely bring change in gradually ,not from day 1 . Also as an aside....Neil Kelly said he had rung the RFL and advised them he was struggling to raise a team. Having said that I will like most on here continue to support the Gallant Youths as we have been here before and will be again. WHERE DO YOU WANT ME TO SWIPE THIS?
