so far

Boooooooooooooooooooooo

Well that's been coming. Both wingers - Manhoef and Bocat have had acres of space behind Iredale and JCG and it was only a matter of time before one of them got away.

If we're going to play 343 we need to think carefully about the danger of quick wide men having too much room down the sides.

I know its a friendly but get some tempo into your game Whites.

Can't believe people are watching it

Which channel? 

Now that Bocat has dropped back to LB and they've put Gooch on attacking left they have an even bigger threat down that side so we need to start pushing them back. Both sides TBH,

I’ve done nothing but read this thread, and appreciate it’s only a friendly, but why do I get the sense we’re going to be saying this all season… again.

The only thing to come from that half is Morley is not good enough,he can't tackle and goes missing,he never tries to make space to receive the ball

Hard to tell how we'll go with these particular players on tonight but there are still some frailties with the passing in possession and positioning out of possession. However the 343 system is always going to be susceptible to attack down the wings unless we win the ball higher. Good work out this.

Be A Long Season this

Meh.

Fuck it off and get th'olympics on.

Fancied this, thought it might renew my enthusiasm.

Doing the opposite so far. Should have left it til the 10th Aug.

Morley has gone so far backwards since he came it’s unbelievable. He’ll struggle in L2 at this rate..

He must have off-field problems/issues that might explain why he’s now so poor 🤷‍♂️

He looked like a bargain from rochdale, was it £28k? But in div 1 he looks awful. Can't tackle has no pace. Needs to go but oddly extended his contract last season? 

Actual proper scrap ongoing here!

Nice to see us not getting pushed around

He’s been a good player for us but summat’s gone wrong.

It was two seasons ago and we were all saying that we had a bargain. Him and Dempsey had a great start to the season but he’s gone backwards for some reason or another.

Early days but the Crawley lad needs to join the party 

I just think he's a good L2 player and a bang average L1 player. Bit like MJ Williams.

Is league 2 his level because he just can’t cut it in this league .

Schoolboy error, admittedly it took me to about the age of 50 to reach that conclusion, no going back now 😀

Not quite working out for Dion yet.
