What does Woolford do ?? : Mon Aug 19, 2019 5:41 am
After a poor but attritional first half where we hadn’t looked like scoring in fact hadn’t for almost two hours at home we were given an easy penalty in front of the posts.‘Two’ was the cry but for some inexplicable reason no one took charge we ran it and ‘dropsy’ Russell shelled up the ball, one of six occasions that he did so in and around the Cas 20 metre line during the match.
Even more inexplicable was the fact that our best attacking half back was playing fullback, Gaskell the man who when playing stand off had scored a hat trick of try’s a few weeks before in a narrow away defeat at Cas.
Five times we let the ball bounce instead of trying to catch it in the first half and got really lucky, catching practice required for the next fortnight this wasn’t even amateur standard but a team on the wane stripped of any confidence or ideas.
If ever a half time talk needed to work and some changes be made this was the time.
Say Mellor to centre, Darnell to FB Senior to the wing but GASKELL to stand off.
The sight of Russell dropping the ball off to a slow moving forward or just generally dropping the ball was a contributing factor to the fact that had we played another 80 minutes we didn’t look like scoring at all.
Yesterday was symptomatic of the malaise that currently runs through the club, slow line speed, clueless on attack and constantly bullied in the important ‘must win’ areas of the field.
The management and Woolford have chosen to stick with a rapidly deteriorating team and system, to not bring anyone in and barring a miracle we are going down and that’s the most optimistic version.
Wire and Cas took salary cap exemptions, hence why Kevin Brown has gone to Leigh we have sat two players in the stand all season injured you couldn’t script it.
Darnell was left out for lack of confidence where’s he different from a dozen others?
Well Mr Woolford your time has come and you are failing miserably along with your clueless, spineless disorganised team and YES you are responsible as in all my years of watching I believe that this is the first time we have ever failed to score in the 160 minutes of two consecutive home games quite an achievement SIR !!!!!!
