We still need to try him at FF and in the ruck first

CHF?

 

[Vindicater]

Why is Guelfi in the team?

 

[Beerfish]

 

[TheGrizz]

Essington is inevitable.

 

[Don_Gia]

I can’t believe I’m back at the same level of dissatisfaction as exactly 1 week ago

 

[ant555]

Can someone please send out a search party for Peter Wrights heart !

 

[DeezNuts]

Lucky to be down 5 with the season on the line against north, says everything you need to know about this club

 

[MiguelM]

Why is Guelfi in the team?

Add Perkins too. Gone backwards so fast.

 

[mike14]

A very tough watch. Skills are not up to standard and there's a fair few who don't look like they want to put their head over the ball

 

[DeezNuts]

At this point we may as well bring back the Weid

 

[ant555]

All I want is to turn on the football and be confident we will take care of business

Haven't had that feeling in 15 years

Well keep waiting as it is not going to happen in the next two or three years either.

 

[Vindicater]

Add Perkins too. Gone backwards so fast.

Perkins at least is young and playing out of position. Guelfi is seasoned and playing his primary position and is still useless.

 

[MiguelM]

Very lacklustre performance.

 

[scythe]

God this is uglier than my backyard. There is no instinct in this team.

 

[Vander18]

We are playing like we are in the middle of an absolutely epic training load.

I don’t think for one second that we are….but that’s what we look like. Constant basic skill errors, nobody can stick a tackle and most look like they are running in molasses. Absolutely terrible.

 

[carnthedons]

Why do we love to handball so much when we send it behind a moving target/at their feet?

 

[CBombers17]

Should create a 3.00am Monday timeslot for this game

 

[Cup_o_Jobe]

Hind really plays two good games a year and the rest are stinkers. He and Kelly just aren't best 22. Guelfi and Cox also looking nowhere near it (although the latter has long term injury and youth as an excuse).

The old adage of your only as good as your bottom 6 players proving true for us post-bye. Our bottom 6 each week have been embarassingly bad. Unpressured turnovers, hurried kicks to nowhere, long bombs.

Part of me still doesn't want Parish to walk as his ability to extract the ball is almost unparalleled, but good gods above, could he spend some time in the off season re-learning how to kick. Please. You're giving me a brain bleed.

 

[DapperDon]

Great half Dons, Keep it up.

I'll come watch some of you when you're running around the bush leagues next year

 

[bommer16]

the club surely can’t be happy with this output. Big sweeping changes required.

 

[ghostdog]

Yeah we're not quite on are we. Merrett's tag isn't helping but at least Martin's delivering today. Is it worth a player like Hobbs or Perkins going to whoever's tagging Zach to free him up?

We're obviously missing Caldwell, and even the run of Shiel.

 

[ant555]

Perkins at least is young and playing out of position. Guelfi is seasoned and playing his primary position and is still useless.

Perkins is supposed to be part of the future that replaces Guelfi. Future not looking so good.

 

[ghostdog]

Kelly and mcgrath killing us with handballs to nowhere

They're clearly at a point of trying to out if Kelly has a future anywhere else in the side. Maybe his papers are stamped.

 

[Nifft]

Draper, Setterfield and Stringer too.

 

[Harlequin Dream]

The sloppiness from more senior players like Parish, Hind, Wright and Kelly is so disappointing. Really letting down the younger players.
