I thought we made them look good. They got field position and trys off the back of our errors and discipline. I can't believe how much they got away with lying on throughout the entire game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillmeister80 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Caine Barnes and Conor Fitz. Phenomenal both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn 106 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Don't think Rochdale were the better team, took their chances off the back of our mistakes and the Ref gave us nowt. Brilliant scenes at the end, the old place went ballistic. Town don't do this sort of thing very often but OMG it was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanMac Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I’ll take that for a finish but we were very poor in both attack and defence for some reason. Although we scored 34 points we were never slick with the ball in hand and were struggling to make yards. It didn’t help that every play the ball was slowed down so much, not sure what the 6 again rule is for if refs aren’t going to use it. Need a huge improvement for next week even though Barrow have a lot of injuries as did Rochdale. Let’s hope we can tighten our defence up and start to use some of the pace we have out wide.

townie88 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Referee was very poor today I thought, but had little no no help from his touchies. I see Penky is still the same little mouth piece we use to love Huge improvement needed to get anywhere near barrow next week. Donny draw has helped though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Poor old Matty Henson had zero to scoot off the ruck was so slow . It’s ok going with a lighter mobile pack but when we were hitting it up we just didn’t look like we were going anywhere . I thought personally they were livelier , bit sharper , made more yards and a few offloads , I don’t think we had even one . It just looked really sluggish and slow today and with the brittle defence and repeated errors inviting pressure Chris said on interview the players are ‘ really gonna get it ‘ this week and he’ll bore them with the same message until they get it . By the way was it gonna be a draw or do we play golden point ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennington Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Well done town for sticking in right to the end ! Makes the upcoming game this weekend even more exciting. Just hopeful barrow have some players back for the weekend as we are definitely thin on the ground currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been a point each, no golden point in this league. Hunslet & Donny drew 18 all today.

The Voodooguru Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Not a great game with a fantastic end! Rochdale had obviously been watching the videos of us as they shut a lot of our plays down, and it was the off the cuff moves that got us a lot of our tries. Fui's try apart as I know you sometimes cant stop him even when you know what is coming I thought our line defence was poor, and some lazy tackles at times, especially on their first. Our last play kicks aren't great either and fair play to the Hornets they had the imagination and varied things. BUT We can't forget that we did win against a decent side and a ref that allowed them to blunt a quick PTB which killed our attacking play. We showed glimpses again but like has already been said we do struggle to make yards sometimes so when we force the play as we can't get a roll on we make mistakes. But we have found a way to win again and the lads deserve a big pat on the back, the last play was just brilliant and Buffer deserved it as he had a decent game taking the line on. Hope Stevie is OK as you could hear the impact and he will be a miss. Barrow have a big team, but if we cut out the silly stuff we can hand them their first defeat. UTT. The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfox Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Think we are a bit predictable .How many times did it just go across the field untill Caine Barnes ran into it .Couldn't believe they kicked off and won the ball every time ,and put us on the back foot . It was good to see Carl intercept that pass .couldn't happen to better professional and club man . Roll on Barrow next up . Cut out the errors , hope the ref allows a quicker play the ball . And move the line of defence up quicker .stop them running at us .and watch the off loads in the tackle . And a bit of luck we could come away a result .

dkw Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Brilliant way to win, but we really are struggling in all aspects of the game. Attack is slow and obvious, defence is too passive, kicking game is poor, goal line defence is shambolic. And we really need to get a grip of these kick offs, teams know how to use it against us now, so change the positioning, get the tall lads up closer, gets some blocker in etc, it's so frustrating how often we let teams back in after we have scored.

THMS Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Well done Town. Just need to cut out the errors, throw the ball about more rather than 1 man rugby and cover the line and ball more. Ref didn't help... but then when do they ever! Thought Penky and Fui would of got a better reception tho. Some nasty comments shouted from the fans when I'm sure we would never turn down the chance to have them back. I was glad to see them back at derwent park.

DavidM Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 What makes Barnes’s contribution even more impressive is that he’s basically just given the ball from someone standing next to him and it’s ‘ see what you can do with that ‘ . If we could give him some good ball a bit quicker with a bit of space he’d be doubly as good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David69 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I thought overall, hard game with lots of mistakes n errors. I thought play of the balls were far to slow, which didnt help the game flow. Need practice on restarts. But what a cracking finish, Came out of game with grey hair.ha. hope stevie ok. 2 pts though. Onto next 1.utt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it a big gesture from Fui, clapping town fans at the end, could still do a job for us, we struggled to hold him when he came on and he really tired out our middles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Town blue white Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 We dident deserve that win but well done. A performance like that and barrow will put 20-30 points on us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at our best today but its impossible to get quick ball from dummy half when ref allows opposition to dominate in the tackle with a third man lying on every time, they knew what they were doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
