I found that really dispiriting primarily because, and I don’t mean this in a snide way-possibly they had injuries, they were pretty mediocre for at least half of that game and ended up with an easy win.
We really should have made that a closer run thing and we also benefitted from Livett not being able to hit a cow’s backside with a banjo on the extra points but we didn’t take our chances, gifted them points and ran out comfortable losers. Really difficult to see a less revved up side turning up at Plough Lane so am beginning to think we may actually not win this season. I thought Leyland played pretty well but does anyone understand what that short drop thing he does is. Did we gift them a try and two point penalty from it or is my memory failing. Again I’ll have to see the replay but that effort by Walker to ground the ball appeared to be comical in its ineptitude resulting in their first score.
Who are our creative players these days? Is it Meadows and Leyland. I may not agree with the comic who shouted out “what’s the point to you Meadows” but I think he has some way to go before he’s a strong SL player and if the only partner he’s going to have is Campo the he too needs to step up ASAP because I’ve not seen that much from him (once he comes back from what I assume is an injury-information black hole from the club on that). Basically if we don’t bring some in I struggle to see many positives this season.
I should add that Kershaw played on one leg for 75 minutes. He did pretty well but that can’t have done him any good and Butler looks a bit shot. I suspect he’s carrying a knock and could really do with a few games off. Lowell’s leg is all bandaged up but he seemed pretty lively I thought.
