Townfan1992 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Ide like to be optimistic and say we have 4 games coming up which SHOULD be winnable. Today is a blip in the road. Let's get behind the boys and make third place ours. We had 4 or 5 players who would be in the 18 missing today and I think that says alot.

Town Army Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 2 point's lost today nothing more. The manner of defeat will hurt but we've plenty of experience to bounce back 3 wins from the next 4 games as a minimum hopefully 4 from 4 NWC be a tough test.

David69 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Agree 2 point lost it hurt etc, but we still in a good position. Let's all get behind the team lots winnable games , put some points on this weekend build this points difference up. Utt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumberland Sausage Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Put the Derby behind us and get back to doing the basics right and completing our sets better than we have been lately.This team is not good enough for promotion but we have a very good nucleus to build on for next season and the way we are developing off the field I have every confidence that good times are not far away. Yes we lost yesterday but the friend I brought with me enjoyed the game and will be back again and if we can all just persuade someone to come to the remaining home games with us it may just help get extra finances into the club to help build for next season.And I know which of the 2 West Cumbrian teams have the better Business plan to sustain a viable team for the future.

Town93 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Was my first game since the Oldham defeat and I've certainly got the buzz back! North Wales will be tricky but I think we have enough to just edge it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I may have missed it in my avoidance of the whole event strategy (!) but has there been any reaction from Leon ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanMac Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Not yet David. Obviously taking him as long to get over it as me!! He does normally tweet something after a game win or lose but nothing yet. But there again he does have a life outside rugby, I’m sure we’ll hear his thoughts at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
townie88 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Im sure I read something on the N&S website about his thoughts on the game? Not sure if he gave that interview at the ground or over the phone but he has commented on the game/result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwent Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Leon's comments :- “It shouldn’t take a verbal ear bashing from me at half-time to get us playing because it’s happened too many times that we give teams points start," said Pryce. “The first half was very poor but we did better after half-time and, when we went 10 points up with seven minutes left, I thought that was a fair reflection. "There is no way we should have lost that game with a 22-12 lead. Our game management wasn’t good enough. “There were some positives but the biggest thing is that it isn’t the end of the world and it might have come at the right time to serve as a reality check." I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very accurate assessment, measured comments and he clearly took some time to compose himself before providing a very professional response. Far better than a knee jerk reaction given immediately after a game, particularly one which we should have won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I agree with the first paragraph , it is happening to often in the meaningful games , but the last paragraph is the one .. I’m not sure what a reality check means but if he’s saying again we need to learn from it then ok ,,but as he said first up we haven’t been . Will we ... that’s gonna determine the rest of the season because if we keep repeating the same sloppy and dumb patches and playing only for some of a game we will struggle to push on in the games that matter and it’ll be one step forward one back . It’s so frustrating that we’ve totally blew 6 points , even 8 with better game management at Cougars, and it reduces your margin of error every time it happens in matches to come . We’re either slow learners or the personnel can’t consistently manage what he wants. Either way it’s a big job for everyone now and it’s a real dogfight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havenfan13 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 U maybe should have closed out the game but you didn’t and you got beat again buy a injury hit team not playing great at the min who’s team is basically knackered and it’s the 3 straight loss I believe accept defeat by the better team it’s not hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see, we had 6 players out injured and no doubt others who were playing with knocks. Haven’t heard anybody trying to make excuses, You won bask in the glory and accept rugby is a game where you pick injuries hope. Look forward to seeing how brilliant a fully fit haven are when they get out of 1st gear. I’m sure every team in the land is quaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a shame that the interview took place on the speedway track D/P and our Coach was not available for comment, nor did any of our club officials make themselves available for comment ?

notasdaftasilook Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 At leat we haven’t had mouse on and his marras pretending to be town fans. He’s on the haven forum on this site screenshotting what I said (Hya Mouse XX) which is a bit creepy. Im glad Leon has waited to comment rather than shooting off. It shows that he’s learning his trade and becoming more measured. Ideally he’d be measured with the press but I reckon it’s cos he’s a winner through bad through and not happy with second best which frustrates him.

notasdaftasilook Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Billy Bob. All directors were in the ground mingling with fans until late. Ollie, Scott and Jamie spoke afterwards in both lounges. Ollie spoke to the radio. It’s not the be all and end all. Unless folk are just being mischievous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notasdaftasilook Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Yeah that carlsberg response that was sent from the official haven account was certainly magnanimous. In fact given it was targeted at an individual was disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
