Unicorn 106 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Gutted I'm missing the game today, just hope we show the same spirit that we showed last season and in the Ike game. Gonna be tough against a full time team, but here's hoping, good luck boys. UTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derwent Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Town knock on in the act of scoring, then piggy back Thunder straight up the other end with 2 penalties and they score in the corner. Town 0 Thunder 4. I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith T Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Why do we consistently give away stupid penalties to piggy back teams up the field?

townie88 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Tough luck today I thought. Lost the ball twice in the act of scoring. Ultimately didn't make all the ball and territory count in in the first half. Thought we should have took 2 points on a few occasions. Thunder are a full time outfit looking at the play offs. Using that as a measure I'm confident we won't be the whipping boys some make us out to be. Few strong performances from Oscar Thomas, Jake Lightowler and Evan Simmons I thought. Hope Matty is back soon and Jake can recover from what was a clear high tackle! Producing that effort every week will see us fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwent Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 A good effort in the conditions and with a bit more composure in the first half could have had a good lead at half time A couple of things that need saying though, which might not be popular. Alex Young is absolute garbage and how he gets picked ahead of Olstrom or Teare is beyond me. He offers absolutely nothing and is a liability. Also, sad to say it but, as good a servant as he has been, Buffer isn’t up to this level anymore. Slow and predictable. Walker offers much more in attack.

Thought walker was unlucky not to play after 2 motm displays but I can understand the thinking in not throwing him in. No idea how Young gets in, offers nothing in attack or defence. 15 minutes where thunder just rammed it down the middle did for us, our worry over not having size in the front row highlighted perfectly then. I thought other than that we did well, but didn't really look like opening them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker has been very good and I was shocked not to see him in. Thought buffer was in with the plan of taking 2 points whenever on offer? Didnt happen and we had plenty of opportunities to take 2 easy points. He did make a good line break in the 1st half. Honestly think with a different bounce of the ball we could have won today. Certainly not a performance to be ashamed of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Mixed feelings really . Good effort , gave everything and matched up to them in the main … but on reflection that was a game we could have won . We had to take more advantage of that first half with the wind , we had some clear chances and it’s a harsh lesson - you’ve got to nail them . At halftime as the conditions worsened it was always gonna be tough from then on . All in all I didn’t think they were all that much tbh , yes they kept chugging down the pitch but look at their tries , one good one and three poor ones from our perspective . We lacked a bit of quality in the attacking zone and a bit of fortune . I don’t know why Walker wasn’t playing - he’s your xfactor with Henson ( we don’t need him injured ) and Teare should be in the backline , we’ve little strike there . I thought Barnes showed he’s as good as anything at this level , Doran tried hard and Simons is gonna be an excellent signing . This could be the story of the season - good effort but not quite enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonky Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I just think the lack of strike in the backs is a killer, sorry Alex shouldn’t be getting picked, I thought he struggled in league 1 never mind the championship, but I think leaving walker out killed us. We were camped in there half for the 1st 25 mins and other than Doran’s kick from the scrum never looked like breaking the deadlock, we need a half with a bit of speed and guile and he offers both. On another day we could have won the game, I thought newcastle were as bad as us in attack, clueless last tackle plays. Though Jordan Thompson was towns best today the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
