chromedome Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I was, pre match, thinking we probably wouldn't get the two points today. So my trepidation proved correct. (I always pray that I could be wrong)..... However it was the furthest thought in my head that Town would suffer one of the most embarrassing defeats of the decade, or even longer in past time - not that I can be ar***d to check it out. The last try was kids stuff - and to suffer the songsters from South Cumbria, very South Cumbria, singing 'can we play you every week' just made the hairs on the back of my neck bristle with anger - obviously others (hairs)are not present above my neck lol. So where do we go from here? Over to you Directors/Coaching staff/lovely voluntary workers et al........ Incidentally I'm told, via the grapevine, sadly, that the Town Coach reacts badly to fans negative opinions - but that is surely part of the circle of Rugby League life? (well in fact all sports too)So it's ok to take the cheers and bouquets, but be aware of days like today and handle it with a professional attitude - like I say it's all in the game. Today will bring another test for our man at the helm for sure. I've seen some awful 80 minutes in the 60 years as a Townie......but oh marra.. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

town2018 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Couldn't make the game today but had it on the radio and and it wasn't good listening the last 2 games have been the worst if the season and especially after the win last week Some off the players just aren't up to the standard required to get us out off this position and some just don't give the effort needed Chris really needs to hold his hands up and be held accountable for these results Days like today really don't help especially with the club putting on entertainment on at the club and promoting the fanzone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been going for 60 years + and never seen a smaller , slower Town side than the current one. League 1 and obscurity beckons. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League 1 and obscurity beckons. It, did 4 matches ago. Simply not good enough but to get beaten on your own patch is disgraceful. I do not like picking on players but the last try that Mr Young was involved in just go's to show that he not good enough for even Div1. The whole team looked has though they did not want to play in the game, but to lose the game by 58 points to NIL!! just proved it. Thorman has take the blame for this, A lot of fans will say that you can only play with what you have but that's no excuse for that, the two Welsh lads are simply not good enough, Riley was in the crowd but not sure about Matty, hopefully he will be back for our next game. So we have Widnes for our next home game and hopefully they will give us fans something to watch, but we are definitely going down and I hope to god we have a club and players for next season.

Bearintown Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 If that's the quality of team the club can field, then it's time to accept we are a Div 1 team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Ringo Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 1 hour ago, town4me said: Barrow have spent a fair bit of cash so no suprise really. Effort from town was poor though What is it with you and Barrow spending money? 10 of those players have played for a number of seasons now and most are locals or Cumbrians. Yes they signed Sammut and Woods and Langtree and Iaria but isn't that what teams are meant to do in order to challenge and stay up? It hasn't broke the bank and Barrows connections with loan players have been impressive when called to do so. How much has moving your coach to live up there and on full time terms cost? I'd say close to 2 class Championship signings at least. Then those Welsh lads won't be cheap and are no better than you already had. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havenhater Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Do we have another week off now? Seriously backed thorman all the way but I'd expect the likes of Cornwall and was Wales be looking forward to playing us with that type of 20 minute performance.

How did haven get on Given that he’s been told there’s better players than him in his position in the squad it might not be far off the truth. Must be a bit demoralising when you see who’s getting selected. Difficult to believe really when he is one player who has a bit of X factor about him.

Rodders2010 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 To see Henson dropped is shocking, from the top to the bottom is a joke, i love town home and away but this season is embarrassing, the board which is full on nobodies no money very little idea, take note barrow!! Commercial side, By the looks of things fallout wid thorman yor finished, local lads etc, need change , but realistically season over, hope im wrong but dnt think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
