andyram Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Our rearranged game on Sunday, have we got any chance of a shock victory in Cumbria ? Any chance of Sykes playing this weekend ? We look better with him and Moore playing, when both fully fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we'll see a few changes this week where possible, Sykes could be back this week. He's got his critics but by did we miss him last week. My team.

Don't write Moore off ... he plays better when the Sun shines and the ground is firm .... there were a few flashes against Rochdale that he might be running into some form.

He has his critics, not least with regard to discipline, but what we miss when he’s not playing was plain to see last Sunday. I’d stick with Gaz for now but he’s on probation for me, not least since speakman at 7 would allow Sam Day back in. A week for saving your brass I reckon.

IRugbyS Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I thought I heard Moore was giving it up, and had walked away a few games ago? Maybe I heard wrong but if that's the case why play him anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown Flatter Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Batley seem to be a little better than us at the moment and couldn't beat Barrow, so it is unlikely we can overcome the Raiders.

coolie Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Looking at the team on paper (and not on toilet paper before piggy jumps in) We have enough in our arsenal (and not the wenger one) to compete with any team in our division. We're trying against teams above us, and then getting dragged into slug fests with the teams below us.. Which is not healthy to our precarious position at the bottom of the table. Think we need to start playing what we have rather than simply getting players on dual reg and putting them in the team This will without doubt cause problems within a squad... Need to pick our own, whether good or bad and try galvanise this bunch of individuals into something that resembles a team and fight for everyone. I'll cut short this speech before it ends up like We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in Barrow, we shall fight on the grass and 3G, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the pack, we shall defend our try line, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the Blackpool beach , we shall fight on the barrow ground, we shall fight in the centre's and in the pack, we shall fight in the scrum; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this team or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the Tetleys stadium, armed and guarded by the barmy army, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the championship, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old results in us not been relegated.

Blind side johnny Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Cumbria has not been one of our happiest hunting grounds and I can't see tomorrow being any different.
