Good in parts, poor in others. I thought our own errors, particularly in possession kept them in it. If we want to have serious tilt at this season then we need to put games like this away earlier. That said, I'm pleased with the two points.
It sounded like we were making a lot of mistakes - more than we've made all season. Derby pressure? Who knows. We've got the two points.. Wire on Monday is the big test.
We just seem to have completely forgot our gameplan and steel from pre-season.
First few games we seemed to be working for each other and had a resilient steel about us. Now we seem to be content turning over the ball easily, not building pressure and our defence leaves a lot to be desired.
It's still a shambles that it's taking the Wakefield club/the council so long to sort this out. It's been a good 7 weeks now, right? The fans have done a great job but it should have been sorted out by now.
Fans are gonna be turned away and it's not gonna look good for them.
Turns out that they couldn't get a capacity crowd regardless of the limitations. Capacity 5,333 crowd 5195.
Admittedly I only has a limited view, but there looked to be more than 5,500 in the ground to me. How many spectators doesn't the eastern terrace hold?
"Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"
"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League"
