sheddingswasus Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 For anyone there today, 1) Were we any improved from the previous few weeks? 2) OCR said we had plenty of first half possession but couldn't do much with it - true reflection? 3) I have suspected now for weeks there is little team spirit and a lack of fitness as we get into the second half, was this evident today? 4) What was toe crowd like? Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockportRoughyed Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Can't comment in whether the performance represents an improvement as I've managed to miss recent games but, in response to Sheddindswasus, with the exception of an excellent try in the second half, we seemed to lack any imagination and played pretty uninspiring rugby when we had the ball Possibly more worrying was that when Crusaders tried to bully us by using their big men to run at us hard in the second half, we didn't appear to have anyone willing to match fire with fire There did seem to be a total lack of any team spirit with no chat amongst the team. We did seem all too ready to roll over at times in the second half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Steve 1, we did OK lack creativity mostly close to the line, that split second of indecision is crucial. Cru just did the basics better than we did and individual errors were costly. 2. Fair point 3, we do seem to fall away second half 4. Under 400 I'd say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League in union Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 There were marked signs of improvement from previous weeks (I thought the young lad at stand off played well). But... We are lacking forward power. Two of three big forwards who can tire out the opposite defence and maybe punch a few holes are badly needed. The backs and halves can't play behind a pack that isn't going forward - that was the difference between the two sides IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a big difference was that Crusaders looked like a settled side that has developed over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleboroRoughyed Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Physically, Cru were huge in comparison to us and whilst there was no lack of effort in the pack this undoubtedly told. The Cru back 5 were probably bigger than our pack & also ran the ball hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anita Bath Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Look on the bright side…after Sunday’s games and the last 24 hours at Spotland, it looks like the king cotton derby will be on again next year……… Though who knows if it will be in Rochdale…..there is an exit clause in Hornets lease and we know how keen Mazey is on removals. Cummon Ornits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anita Bath Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 You are not wrong methinks….though one of his pals on the board has strong links with Sale Rugby (not the Sharks). cannot see him being too bothered to be honest…he bought Hornets for less than the price of one years membership in the supporters club.

The Art of Hand and Foot Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) The ball is in hornets court. AFC can't revoke the lease, only hornets can. I wouldn't do anything but follow the rules of the lease. That'll really ###### them off.

Anita Bath Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 In my experience ******* off a landlord is not a good idea. Isnt that what lies behind the current situation? I think the FC are fully aware of their obligations under the lease….why else would hornets have withdrawn the legal action. So ball is firmly in Mazey’s court. Watch this space.

jroyales Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 With due respects to Anita Bath, this page was supposed to be about West Wales. Can I suggest we start a page about the precarious position the Hornets, and the Yeds are are in at the moment. Do you remember when sooperdooperleeg was first dreamt up -Hornets, Oldham and Salford to become Manchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
