I missed the bit about others wanting off? Who?!

I have to disagree with putting him down the middle. I understand you’re point, re we lose something when he’s tracking so deep, but he looked poor last season up front and yesterday I genuinely forgot he was on the pitch when we went central. He had the beating of their RB in the first 20...

You’ve been on this forum since 2011, you’ve surely seen this dance before.

I said it in the match thread; he isn’t a 10. He’s an 8, which is the system we all thought we’d be starting with. I feel for him as he’s a good player, but he’s being asked to be the creative spark at 10 which isn’t his game and fans will then start to question his ability, confidence will...

New season, same old MR out narrative being spun. Yesterday was poor and very little to take forward as a positive. However we’ve a long way to go and we’ve been here before. Expectations and pressure are certainly higher this year, partly because we have a plethora of attacking talent we...

Yea I saw it, it went for quite while and was pretty expressive so I thought most would have seen it. Impossible to tell what it was about, but I thought it was as an interaction with Boetang. Eccles was 100% pissed off about something but I highly doubt it was not being subbed. Debate Eccles...

Yea re Bidwell, he seems to be (trying to) offer more offensively but it’s at the expensive of his historically solid defensive play.

Also, it was worrying how tired our players look?! We’re six games in…..

So far the following have been called out on this thread as being poor (or a variation of the word); Lati Bidwell Eccles Torp Rudoni Wright Simms Sakamoto Bassette EMC That, on top of the general consensus we looked clueless tactically, is pretty telling of how we played today. It’s now on MR...

Not been this pissed off after a game for a long time. In the grand scheme of things it means little, lots of games left, Sheaf to return, but I think it’s the fact we have an embarrassment of riches up front and create so so little. I’ll say it again; Rudoni is not a 10.

Midfield wasn’t the issue.

So much attacking talent and zero idea how to utilise it.

I honestly think he’ll come good, but at this poin; EMC is really struggling with the step up. He looks poor on the ball and positionally.

Moan about Simms, but our left hand side is so so vulnerable. Every time they attack it’s a worry.

Our “press” is so wank. Gets played through everytime and way too easily. Either press or sit, don’t half arse it.

To add to this, I feel for him as it’s not his position and he’s being asked to be our focal creative point. He’s better as an 8, the position I thought we were going to utilise this season. He’s a good player and fans are already turning.

Eccles and Torp doing well, don’t get the critics. Their attacks are coming down the sides or our own shit mistakes. Agendas hey.

Rudoni is not a 10.

We do, but watch how much they are tucking in. Way more than usual.

Sakamoto and Wrigth are so so narrow when we don’t have the ball. Clearly a tactic, but it’s leaving a lot of space out wide.
