AB Knight Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Regardless of who does and doesn’t play tomorrow (assuming it’s on) Fev have only lost one game this season in the cup to Hull, they’ve a real winning mentality which runs throughout the side regardless of if it’s a fringe player or one who’s played every game. It’s not like they’ll have the physio on the bench and have to borrow half a side from Sharlston.  York are in awful form, low on confidence, more halfback partnerships (8? 9?) than you can shake a stick at, fans are getting a bit restless. Hopefully it evens things up and makes for a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, York have done it tough this year. Depending on what team Fev can put out, we might still be strong favourites. That's why I'm saying wait until we see the squads.

Haha That's been us Every. Single. Week.

Fax Knight Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 We could be winning this game, but what with the usual errors from nigh kicks and Under 10-level tackling from some players we are throwing it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB Knight Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Can’t fault the attack - 34 Points at most teams would win a trophy 99% of the time. The defence is atrocious though. Sorry, unreal fans, support the lads, York till I die etc. But the Fordy ‘body’s on the line’ defence has somewhat disappeared this year and it’s sad to see.  Mikey Lewis by far the motm. Ah well....come on Cas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow45 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Never have a better chance to win a final at Wembley, too many experienced players went missing. Congratulations to a depleted Featherstone side who wanted the win way more than some of our players.

Andy Knight Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Enjoyed the game if not the result. In that heat big kudos to both sides for putting on a great spectacle and playing for the full 80. Yes defensively both sides were not the best but you can’t knock either side for effort.  Unlucky Knights, there were signs of what we can do with ball in hand if only we could sort that defence out.  Congratulations to Fev on the win. 5 "Don't Waste Words, Jump to Conclusions" Millican Dalton...1867-1947 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCKonstantine Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Our attack seemed a lot better but good lord our defence, especially on the edges really is woeful. Maybe someone with a more tactical knowledge of the game can help me out here.. But when we, eventually, throw the ball wide, it’s 2 attackers on 4 defenders. But when the opposition get the ball wide it’s 4 attackers on 2 defenders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger York Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Well played both sides entertaining game lots of players playing out of position and the heat will have affected them too. I think from York’s point of view the game changer was when we levelled the game we messed the restart up and they scored 18 points with out us touching the ball instead of us building momentum. Next weeks game is massive we need the same effort again as nothing is a given in this league but hopefully we have players coming back and we can get a settled side. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
