Find a way to lose

Post by sheepsteeth »

I'm the eternal optimist but even I'm starting to worry that we keep finding a way to lose close games.

in these big games we start poorly get back in it and then get in front and find a way to throw it away.

I am the same sheeps, we were absolutely abysmal tonight, the players have to take full responsibility!

They looked knackered with 20 minutes to go, but saints didn't.

Penalties cost us, they got saints on a roll which we couldn't break out of. You've got to be able to tighten th egame up when that happens and get a couple of sets completed to break the cycle. We couldn't do it.

As I have previously said, no leadership and no discipline!

Poor performance and poor discipline tonight against a poor Saints side.
Im quite concerned about our form over the last three league games with Green and Mickey Mac looking out of sorts after coming back from injury

Wigan should of had 3 players sent off. Thanks to them saints have 3 players injured, one of them seriously. Lets hope the disciplinary boys throw the book at them, especially the one with the shoulder charge on Gareth O'Brien.

Still at least there is still some justice in this world and Saints deservedly won.

I think you'll find that Wellens was the one that chinned him. ST was just falling :lol:

You have been quiet for 6 months, what a surprise you pop up now!! We had the 2 best players in SL missing, went down to 12 at a crunch time, we were awful and that is the best you can play!! Sorry pal but a 6 point win, you really happy with that? If I was you I would concentrate on your own team ready for the upcoming CC Semi Final, oh sorry you're out!! Ok then concentrate on the play offs because you might just qualify!! :lol: :wink:

Seems pretty reminiscent of last season!

Things all go to pieces in the important games.

Is this down to SW again??? Did he really need to rest our main players in spite we are only playing London this coming weekend (no disrespect London).

Remember the cock up SW made last season in not Putting Richards at full back at a clinical semi-final?

We are again losing quite a few players this season (Richards, Tuson, Tomkins, Mossop, Prescott) on top of what we lost last season (so pretty much an entire team lost in 2 seasons alone).

Although there were a couple of players who should be sacked after tonight (Dudson in partic), SW needs to be very careful now what voices he makes.

Full credit to Ryan Hampshire and Matty Smith tonight!!

Don't forget, we're likely to also be losing SW next season too - its mentioned almost as much as Sam's move as being something thats happening.

IL has no problem though, the kids can fill the gap. Hampshire will be coach next season as he will have most experience!
