silverfox Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 Barrow lose . So we stay top just hope it was a bad day at the office today .We have got to play better next week .. We don't want to finish second .as the league stands now NW would play Doncaster at home and the winner plays Barrow . So we need to get automatic promotion. The way NW played today I wouldn't like to face them again .even if they got moved up the field with help from the Ref. They still looked good ..

wonky Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 Just out muscled, out thought and came up against a well drilled crusaders side. Thankfully nothing lost as barrow got beat but I think a win would have seen us promoted and basically given a free swing against donny as we could have probably afforded to lose that game. 1 the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holroyd and Doran apart we didn't worry their defence too much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeandawayer Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 The enforced change at hooker didnt work, apart from Marwood sparking us up for a while. You've got a guy who's been playing prop there but as I said it was enforced. Everybody's talking about forward size but we've played bigger packs all year, apart from the ref piggy backing them up field for three tries the difference to others we've played was the size of the backs against inexperienced wingers and centres who went missing in defence. Let's see how Chris gets them back on track after his first heavy defeat in charge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully one or two to bolster the backs , we’ve heard nothing on the severity of Alex’s knee injury unless I missed it ?

Town utd Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 doesn't matter who played hooker today,the pack need to go forward and stop the opposition getting a roll on.thought marwood did well when he came on,but had little forward power to work with today.

town4me Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 Its been a good season and one bad day at the office shouldn't spoil that but looking at the bigger picture does the current squad want to be going into the championship? I think we need to keep rebuilding under Chris and another season in C1 wouldn't be a disaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Town utd Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 foster from barrow would be my type of prop forward big ,runs hard and can offload.we got grafters need some fire power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Winthorpe Posted August 22 Author Report Share Posted August 22 What was the crowd today. The commentators never referred to it. It sounded pretty flat or was that because we were always behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn 106 Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 3 hours ago, IanMac said: I think for most of the season we’ve probably exceeded our expectations given the young squad and relative lack of size in the forwards. That was shown today by a very dominant physical side. We were never able to get the game played at a speed that would utilise our mobility in the forwards due to their physical dominance and constant lying on which slowed everything down. A bad day at the office, let’s hope we get some bodies back over the next 3 weeks and do a bit of try line defence in training!! Bang on. We've punched above our weight all season, put that down to great coaching and a will to win from the players. We've won at Crusaders, Hunslet and Keighley and drawn away to Barrow, unfortunately our home form has let us down. Still top and we would have all taken that at the start of the season. Barrow are punching well below their weight compared to us, they must be gutted. Could be an interesting few weeks and would be amazed if Crusaders lose again. UTT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a better tactical kicking game !! Anyhow , when all’s said and done Town are top of the league and have it in their hands with 3 games to go … it’s been one hell of an effort so far , from all concerned 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havenhater Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 We have to take what crusaders did today and do to donny and get revenge. Changes in the 17 need to be made and hopefully injuries can ease it showed today like previous years and what thorman had addressed We lacked size on the edges. Confident they can address this and finish off strong in thorman We trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkw Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 I think we missed Stevie scholey today, we lacked a bit of aggression in the pack and he gives us that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

townie88 Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 Best team won, no doubt about it. Chance for our lads to take stock and attack the remaining games with barrow getting beat. Ref was very poor but don't think a different ref would have changed the outcome. Gabe back next week, Henson back next week (tonsillitis). Heard we won't see stevie till a good while into next season and we may not see Miller this season. We missed that bit of grit/aggression when we needed it. Just a bump in the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
