DavidM Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 First thought looking at the team sheet was how undersized our pack looks . There’s 4 guys there out of six who could play hooker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone can’t be wrong about having no size in the forwards 3 I remember when ............................."It is impossible not to feel a twinge of sympathy for Workington Town, the fall guys this season for the Super League's determination to retain it's European dimension, in the shape of Paris. While the French have had every assistance to survive, the importance of having a flagship in a heartland area like West Cumbria has been conveniently forgotten." - Dave Hadfield - Independent 25th August 1996.

IanMac Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Well I jumped in the car and come down thinking we’d make a game of it, wrong so far. Very poor so far with only Curtis looking like making a break. The half was summed up when we had a decent set, put a good kick in, got another set 10 yards out, played the ball and no one at acting half, Barrow got the ball. Hopefully get a bit of pride back 2nd half 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanMac Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Well we got some pride back, a good 2nd half and if Curtis’s little kick thro had had slightly less on it to get to 22-18 I think they ‘d have gone on to win it. Barrow’s forwards were struggling and we were well on top. Pity about the 1st half when we were well outplayed but can’t fault the commitment and effort but we had enough sets in their 20 in that 2nd half to have won it but really struggled to break them down. When we started getting the ball to Tate and Curtis we looked a different team. UTT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmac Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 1st half killed us the 2 final kick plays resulting in 2 trys in the 1st half 22 nil down , thou a lot of positives in the 2nd half which bodes well in the up coming battles , so i have still got a lot belief we can survive the drop.

UTT Well said , we just didn't look at the races today in the first half, 2nd half better but we failed to crack there defence and could have scored a couple more with some luck , ref was same as the last few weeks _hite but he doesn't mess up play the balls so we can't blame him for everything, Joe Brown, Teare and Tate our best I thought, 2400 odd at match and how nice it was to see loads of young fans there something we could do , well done Barrra on your win I just feel we lay down and made it to easy for you .... again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
town2018 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Well another poor day today really like the look off will tate and Wilkinson from Hull kr hopefully we can keep them past the months loan rhys Clark doesn't look interested at all and plays with zero fire in his belly personally like the edge off tate and Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeandawayer Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I'm not gonna let the second half cloud my judgement, that was utter garbage. If Tate hadn't been playing we wouldn't have scored at all. Why have we signed two new hookers cos He's not big enough to be a forward , why are we playing another hooker in the back row and why do we have a big prop who has done nothing wrong all year but doesn't get a game? Why does everything go through Thomas who rarely creates anything when our best player is Doran who hardly touches the ball? That game was lost in the first ten minutes because nobody was big enough to put Forster on his ######, and they're big all through the pack. We looked like we hadn't trained at all, loose passes , nobody at acting half ...seriously!! Not happy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our signing strategy is a mystery to me mate, better players allowed to leave in my humble opinion, have followed town nearly 60 years, season ticket holder and away traveller for many of those, didnt expect to win many this season but expected more than we have seen, really dissapointed, appreciate itsnot easy but our recruitment has been abysmal. Sadly there are a few travellers being picked week on week who would struggle in some of our local teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evs62 Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 Town never had the ball In the first half Barrow played really well keeping town with no ball and scored some poor trys but they all count from towns point of view. Barrow were up on Jamie all the time so no game play as everyone knows when Jamie ticks the team tick. Town came out the second half and played very well if the Town players had just got the the kick through and Cain and got his hand to the ball things could have been alot different because Barrow were looking very tired 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so frustrating , the only way out of this is to get a couple of big forwards who are a better class than what we have who basically are grafters. Where from I don't know but they keep saying there's money available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we actually could've won it which was unthinkable in the first half but another game we chucked away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

town blue Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Totally disillusioned, at this level with this squad it just ain't working. As a life long Townie I don't expect a lot but l thought at least we would give this season a go. I dread to think we will go thro this season without a win and fear the worst against Leigh and all the tough away fixtures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Looking at the fixtures there’s 16 games left , 10 are away and 2 of the home games are Leigh and Widnes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
