Re: Crap

I can understand some of the reactions on here as it was very disappointing today, not only in terms of the result, but in terms of our performance too. We were never really in the game and we created very little. We haven't scored now in 3 games and if we were still playing now, we wouldn't have scored today. With a dodgy defence and no creativity up front, you're always going to struggle and that's a fact!

Both goals today were soft goals and against poor teams like Leigh, we shouldn't be conceding like that. It's an indication of just how low we've sunk, when a team we have comfortably beaten 4 times in the last 2 seasons can come to the IES and make us look second best. I bet Leigh were laughing all the way back home, as they couldn't believe how easily they'd beaten us.

One of the main things that worry me is the team's apparent lack of fitness. To say we're now a full-time team, some players looked a long way off the fitness they showed last season. All too often our players were second best and I find that very puzzling.

Calling for Coleman's head seems senseless to me, as he has a 3 year contract and I can't see him going anywhere in the short-term. One thing is sure, though, if we don't start to improve very soon, it's going to be a very hard, long, cold winter.
