    Watched the 90 minutes against medical advice <laugh> and believe it or not was pleasantly surprised at the performance, even below standard we were closer to picking up a point from the game than I expected . Even so from what I have seen of this season so far Birmingham will give as big if not a bigger test than Huddersfield did. I still think we need Seelt, Ballard and O/9 in front of Patto and Hume and Hjelde as wing backs to start the game, hopefully putting pressure on our opponents instead of ourselves may be the way to go. Certainly a tired looking mid field diamond needs a re-think as the current family favourites are looking distinctly jaded and are long overdue a rest .

    It's clear, imo, that Jobe and Ekwah want to appear cool and making it all look easy. Fair enough, that's their style, but they need to be prepared to do the dirty work. Huddersfield weren't frightened enough of us and we lost our edge.

    No wonder O'Nien lost it, I did.

    Mundle has a nasty streak in him, get him running at them.

    Mundle certainly looks like he has that edge to him but he needs to harness it and channel it right can’t to doing with going down to 10 men

    Was all over the place a bit. But at least had some fight in him and went looking for the ball which is always a good thing in a young lad.
    Didn't hide even when the crowd were booing him for his dodgy tackle. Not enough of our young lads do that too happy to sit and let the game come to them.
    I would play Rigg for this reason he is always looking to get involved

    We have skilful players who are very capable however lately theve been playing like a walk in the park
    We have to dig in work hard and do the dirty work first
    Then the skill will show
    We can only play high intensity football we can’t slow it down we just have to push one
