He's miles off it at the moment, it' shows how bad our list really is.

To be fair to Marchbank, he had a heart issue with an irregular heartbeat. That's a bit more than just breaking down.

Long, but no longer so proud.

Agree...think Marchbank gets a pass today...an issue like that with his heart could be serious or career ending, reckon we can cut him some slack....

Hopefully we're looking for his replacement now.

What happened to this most wondrous coaching appointment panel, that was supposed to get us the right candidate ? The first time in history we did things the right way ?

Mind you, I'd like to see Bolton get a block of matches coaching our best 22, to see how he goes. He's really having to choose some ordinary footballers at the moment - in fact, most of the season.

Actually, don't mind the actual drafting the last 3 years as we picked some talent. i want to know why the likes of Weitering, SPS and even SOS, have gone a mile backwards after showing they can play, especially the first two. We know they can play. That's a coaching issue. No good having talent if it can't be developed.

That would be correct

we won 2 games in 1897 and 1901
we won 3 games in 1898, 2002, 2006

Talent maybe but I cant cop the lack of fight and pride...we cant seem to draft players who want to bleed for the jumper...

Losing becomes contagious and form suffers.
I wish I had the answers but I'm at a loss, we've got an average list so I wasn't expecting miracles but we seem to lack purpose, which is hard to explain and I suspect even harder to address.

Comes back to club culture and the inability of the coach to get through to the players. I'm thinking if Sydney had drafted them all they'd be flying, full of pride playing for the jumper.
