Ref is gash.

I'd admit to bring sceptical he'd make it a couple of seasons ago but he's come on leaps and bounds, looks the real deal now.He's quick, big, string and good under a high ball, all things you look for in a winger.
I think you could be right.

Wow what a performance regardless of win,loss or the draw

The changes  to see already under Cartwright are night and day to what we’ve seen in years

We look like a well drilled and fit team that is willing to give everything for their team mates and coach. 


Cartwright has done a tremendous job so far along with this coaching team

I had doubts re Sezer but he has been a real leader and general out on the field

He’s the first in a long while we’ve had that has questioned the ref during the game

 Asiata is another that has really stood up to the task at hand

Tonight they all from 1-17 did a great job but special mention to Bourouh who was outstanding tonight

 


I don’t think there is any doubt we still have a long way to go but credit to everyone at the club for the progress they have made and continue to make. 


Overall a draw is a fair result and for the first time in a long time an entertaining game. 


Sadly once again a great game has seen some poor & questionable officiating all round from all the officials

The yellow cards dished to us yet Leigh escape for very similar offences, Martins try being awarded was very dubious and then to top off the terrible display was the clear foot on touch as Briscoe received the ball yet the assistant, Grant and the VR couldn’t even get that one right. 


Now what we have to do is reproduce those efforts every week. 

He's been excellent and good on him for knuckling down and improving at a time when he could have quite easily have been led astray by some of the lazy players we had last year

Lots I could post about the reffing and the controversial incidents but I'm simply going to say how good is it to be walking up to the stadium not feeling in fear of what we are about to watch.


The stands were loud again and I felt the most entertained I have probably since the 2019 good friday demolition of Rovers.


The squad still has imperfections and Leigh's pace in particular caused us problems but we will win more than we will lose playing like that.

God Almighty, how nerve-wracking was that!!!  I haven't been that much on edge watching the Fc since Chris Sandow made a half-break at Wembley 2016 with 79:45 on the clock!!!!


Echo what everyone else has said tonight, we may still be a little short on quality but the attitude and commitment that JC has instilled into the side in less than six months is nothing short of incredible, remembering the disorganized mess he walked into late last year.
That attitude and commitment we saw tonight is what we were all hoping for as a bare minimum, but we seemed to have suddenly rediscovered it in spades

There is obviously still a long way to go this season but we seem to have a team we can be proud in and get behind once more, fantastic atmosphere in the ground tonight.


Asiata and Sezer in the middle will turn out to be two of the most inspired signings we have made in a very long time if they continue to maintain this standard and influence on the side in the months to come.


I'll never get to sleep tonight, my head is spinning around that much right now!!!!
