| Not good enough. Think it's time to bring in an experienced coach fast to save our season.

Pete I said before a ball was kicked Fax will be in the relegation fight, nothing has changed my mind.
Trouble is , you have no investors to put money in, the Fax Directors are doing their best ,it’s like operating with a knife and fork, it can’t be done, trouble is I don’t know the answer.Keep the faith though.

| Simon Grix is far too inexperienced and will be found out this season. Why we didn't go for a Jon Sharp or Paul Rowley will never know. They have been there and done it.
I haven't been this season so far but against Sheffield we was lucky to win. Player from Huddersfield Roberts got us out of jail.
Long season in store by looks of it and mid table will take on first two showings.

Before Derek took over at Leigh we were in a worse position than Fax , we couldn’t pay the players wages,our Directors had no real money to spend and the Club relied on fans fundraising efforts, it wasn’t good.
The position at Fax reminds me of our situation,I do think Grix is not the answer though, I said the players signed this season weren’t inspiring and the players who remained from last season were just a year older.
York , Leigh, and London are your next 3 League games plus yer postponed against Fev, not very optimistic.I know you don’t like loans or DRs players but it’s a case of needs must.

| Charlie, Dewsbury were excellent in the first half against Leigh the other week, 8 goal line drop outs by us was it ? Only amazing defence kept them to 10 points.

I agree Budge, I said in my predictions that Dews had recruited well this season , and yeah they held us in the first half,the outlook for Fax is not good , Sheff were poor against us , yet should have beaten Fax, Oldham won away at Haven at the week end , this League is very competitive , my point is what is the answer for Fax?

| Whether Simon is out of his depth or not had little to do with tonight's game.
To put it into perspective.
Losing Gilmore after 14 minutes, being down to 11 men with 2 in the bin part of which overlapped at the same time, having Scott sent off meaning several players were out of position and a raft of other penalties going against us we spent little or no time at the right half of the field.
The winning score came on a last tackle kick on play into the in goal that Salty (who had a good game apart from this) completely missed grounding or knocking the ball dead when it was easier to do so that miss it like he did.
In the end in spite of all that we lost by just 2 points against a gutsy Dewsbury side who ran hard and tackled hard, as stated before the worst part was as a spectator there was zero entertainment factor and just a crap game to watch.

| Over the seasons, every fan of every sport of every team is guilty of taking single games to represent the narrative for the season. I am trying desperately to avoid falling into that trap, however for me, observation and results are conspiring against Grix. Taking the challenge cup out of it, we won 5 of 16 under Grx (2 of which were against eventually relegated teams). To get into the playoffs across an average season, you need to be winning north of 65% of games. In fact the the year we missed out on the Super 8's under Marshall, we were slightly higher than that. We are nowhere near that level, irrelevant of it being the start of a new season.
The decision I have never been able to get my head around was letting Marshall go when we did. You can have your opinions on the guy on what he did and didn't but he's assistant at Saint and thus a massine endorsement on his abilities as a coach. We replaced him with Grix who has absolutely nothing to formalise anything near any coaching credentials. When you replace a manager / coach and we all know it's far from a linear process, surely it's appointing somebody who will negate whatever issues there are on the field for the benefit of being better in the long run. The fact that there was little to no apparent due process in fielding for a new coach apart from Grix was worrying from the get go. We have now come into this new season with Grix's manifesto seemingly built on a stronger start to the season and the first two games illustrate that we haven't achieved that.
A long journey ahead and probably too early to make any estimates of note but Grix has a huge job on his hands in which we have little evidence to say that he has the ability to take us forward. As I said before, he needs to serve an apprenticeship in a good, professional environment and come back with fresh ideas and approaches on and off the field. I thought that management was taking a new approach to appointing coaches i.e ambitious, young assistants at superleague clubs, ready to take on a first team role. However, maybe that was wishful thinking.

That was JWH, not Salty.
