       They scored while down to 14 men at 18-17 and we missed touch on
       two occasions with penalties in great positions.
       Badly missing Hayes.
       It seems we get turned over possession & penalties on a regular
       basis when on their line, yet the opposition is more clinical.
       Three defeats already and down to 5th ( now also behind Otley
       and Ionians whilst 13 and 11 points behind Fylde & Sedgley Park
       respectively) so I think promotion is already gone.

       If we go on a streak now and don't loose another game then we
       can still win. I believe Hull did similar last season however I
       agree. We have just lost to many games too early. Means our room
       for error is tiny now.
       Hull only lost 4 last year  teams seem to only get promotion
       with about a max of 4 to 6 losses depending on the season.
       It's not over yet but Flyde and Sedgley are definitely in the
       driving seat.
       Still, there are many good games to come and we are playing some
       good rugby this year.
       Keep going lads!

       Again we were not far adrift
       Our forwards had theirs beat. Line-out struggled again and we
       made costly mistakes - turnovers on their line and two missed
       penalties to touch. This lost us yards
       So small margi s going to others
       Looking at our fixtures I can see us winning the next 6 and May
       build from there
       Promotion not out of sight yet but can't afford anymore slipups
       now

       I’m sure others who attend regularly over the years have noticed
       that we have a habit of conceding within a few minutes of
       scoring. Not an effective strategy.

       Not downhearted
       We might not win the league but it is competitive with good
       sides. We will be competing top 3 at the end of the season and
       might win the league
       Either way it makes for good Saturday afternoons

       Reflecting on the game, I can thiink of 4 things that
       potentially could have changed the course of the game and the
       outcome and we would have had 5 points
       That's how close the margins are. We will be up there with the
       top 3 come the end of the season. Looking forward to
       Huddersfield now.

       Close game. We were competitive throughout, in what could be the
       hardest game of the season.  Considering that, for most of the
       game, we didn't have a recognised centre on the pitch, the
       defence was pretty good. Sedgeley people behind us were saying,
       'We just can't break their line." Our forwards were well on top
       in set scrums again.
       Again, kicking and lineouts were a big issue. As has been
       stated, penalties not going into touch cost us dearly. Plus not
       being able to win our own lineouts consistently is a
       disadvantage. And their 10 had a belter.
       Impressed with Jack Taylor in particular. Put in some good
       tackles, especially to say that he was not playing in his usual
       position. And that try had me thinking back to one that Dave
       Strettle scored.
       Going to enjoy each game as it comes now. Anyone know when Lloyd
       is back?
       Creditable performance under the circumstances for me. Well done
       all.
