Ford left York and was appointed  assistant coach to  Applegarth, October 2022

At the time he said

“He compliments me really well in terms of our strengths and I think he’ll be a great addition to the group. He’s a real technical coach, good at detailing, speaks well in front of the group and is a real thinker of the game.

And when he left?

I would add to that - the total lack of intensity, urgency and desire from the team which seems to be at its most apparent right after Fords pep talk at the start and after half time.  

What's happened since Tolouse at home? No where near as good, since ,that got the fans right behind the team.

   Why would we need any full time players next season with no chance of SL under IMG.All we need to do is steer clear of relegation and getting into the play offs would be an achievement.With gates under 1300 the wage budget will be less than recent years.I was going to make this my last season as a member but will still go to some games.At least when the team don't put the effort in i have a choice about attending the next home game.But if Ford is still coach i think i will call it a day.

Following this logic most other Championship clubs will surely adopt the same approach, so it will still be a competitive league, albeit it at a slightly lower standard.

I have watched Fev since 1938. I have seen lots of ups and downs. I will continue to support them and look to a better future. I will not throw my towel in.

Same here JC I started watching Rovers in 1955 when i came down with my parents from Scotland, when dad got a promotion. As you say I have seen the best and worst of our team but I still go to all home games and local games away.I have no reason nor interest in quitting.

Callum field has left Widnes and saying wants time away from rugby . I’d happily take him back played well for us when he played 👍

  You must be joking he wouldn't get near a game with the forwards we have at present.

O'Connor will be a great signing for you next year. Has easily been our best player this year in a poor side.

 

O'Connor swept the board at the Dewsbury end-of-season awards tonight - players' player of the season as well as winning the coach's and supporters' awards

Thoroughly deserved. Should score a lot of tries at Fev.

If he goes well it wouldn’t surprise me if he gets a go at a lower end SL team as he’s only young.

Not sure where Callum Turner will fit in though. I wouldn’t of thought he’d be good enough for Fev.

People keep saying this but he'll be handy squad cover and he'll presumably act as Aekins' back-up at full back, but also whilst none of us Fev fans really like seeing Aekins at half back it's an inescapable fact that he's had to do so on numerous occasions over the last two seasons so having a competent back-up could be useful. You'd also think he won't be on a huge wage.

I actually thought that Turner had a good game at Fev last week. He put himself about a bit. Whereas O'Connor was a little quieter though I know he is a classy player having seen him on some of the highlights on YouTube.

This is exactly as I saw it. Clearly O'Connor is the better player. You can't argue against his awards recognition but there were more than a few glimpses of decent ability from Turner which I witnessed.  Turner definitely looked good enough for our squad and more than adequate to play full back when called on.

The word is (rightly or wrongly) that he isn't interested in an ephemeral spot in SL as he has a good, well paid full time job with prospects outside of RL. He is a sound lad with his head screwed on together with some real talent - he will do well at Fev.

Also Turner kicked Sheffield off the park yesterday with a masterful display of game management. He might not be the fastest in the game but he has a good footballing instinct.

O'Connor will do really well. Calum Turner is a talented skilful player but I'm not sure he is quick enough to be a Championship half back. But with a better pack in front of him, he will do better. Liam Finn wasn't the fastest.

In his latest interview after the York match, Ford was again incredibly positive about next year and beyond. So hopefully things look better for next year. Certainly the players we have been linked with, young up and coming Championship players, has to be the way to go, as opposed to over the hill SL players.

You don't think Fev's pack is stronger than Dewsbury's?

Didn't say that, ours have hardly been ripping it up and don't look fit in my opinion.

Wakefield Ram said Turner would play better behind a better pack. I don't think it was controversial to say Fev's pack is better than Dewsbury's.

Fev team look unfit and lethargic, so god only knows what Fraud does with em in training 🙄

Looked half fit all season, need a full overhaul of players and staff. Ford is staying because of the boss, get rid of Hardman, Eden, for starters. Another tough year ahead , the good times are over!
