v Batley

[Raider83]

Any thoughts? Batley aren't in great form either so hope for an away win

[Ulverstonian]

Think will be difficult as Batley always a tough side at home especially.  On saying that we have our strongest squad available and 2 games unbeaten so I give us a good chance.  Might just sneak it if we do not start slowly. 

[Masters 13]

Mentioned on another topic but I think we'll edge it. (Well I hope so anyway)

Tough game this, I’d be over the moon with a win.

no slope and a neutral venue , could be your night

[Bill H]

Note, the game has been switched to the Rams Ground Owl Lane.  

[RLDB]

15 minutes in and Barrows discipline sounds poor. 

[Raider83]

Too many errors so far. Toal should never of been offside and would of been a certain try. Need to buck up second half

2nd half sounds worse than the 1st, absolutely clueless. Now 20 - 0, 26 minutes to go. Something serious needs to change. 

[2Cents]

Going down....

[Masters 13]

I don't think I've ever seen us play this bad. Knock ons, forward passes, not making touch from a penalty, striped one on one by our try line!!! The list goes on... 

Completely abysmal. 

[Raider83]

Yeah not a good performance tonight. I'd like to say we've been unlucky in some of the games when we've been beaten but can't say that tonight

[morty]

We have been awful all season so no change. Our recruitment on paper was good but its proved to be woeful. Really big issues to sort to turn this around if we go down we are buggered

[Raider83]

2 tries late on, too little too late

[Masters 13]

77 minutes before starting to play??!! Mental.

[RLDB]

FT 24-12. If things carry on like this I really don’t see where the first win is coming from. Seems to be constant mistakes down the middle. That pack should be more than holding its own but there’s a serious lack of aggression. 

[RugbyBaller]

Pains me to say this....... Barrow are going down,.... There aren't any worse teams in this league

Forwards look unfit, slow, lethargic and uninterested.

Back line .....See forwards and add no pace

Sammut...... absolutely uninterested 

No structure and no idea.... Whats happened since last year?

This isn't because of losing Tee & Hakim......  you don't become this bad losing a centre and a winger.

 

 

[Raider83]

Made it look respectable when we didn't deserve to. Alot needs to change

[Town utd]

Need better go forward to get field position,also better discipline.can score if they get up field,need to start quick and go set for set ,then take the opposition on in the right part of the field.batley weren't great just went forward better.

[ABrowny]

Time for cresta to go for me, get a full time coach in

[Raider91]

Embarrassing, Shame Toal had another shocker he needs taking out the firing line. Question marks around Jake carter's passing game for me as a half. Sam Brooks is awful should never have been given a new deal. As much as a like wood he needs to be able to do more than a 40 minute spell. Evans looks sluggish not the player I thought we were getting. Chairman must be going mad going to have to find funds from somewhere to get us a couple of more props, a 9 and a centre possibly.

[2Cents]

End of 1st half we had 3 sets on their 10 yard line but couldn't score.....that was the game.......in 2nd half we never got out of our half. No pace, too many mistakes, etc. etc. Must win some home games, starting Sunday and then we might have a chance of staying up.
