Battlefield? Shankhouse? Rough league in those days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we've done 11 on the bounce (league and cup) in 1914 That team was so good they started a World War soon after to stop us 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted April 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 27, 2019 Its been fantastic up till now but I hope this run doesn't have negative connotations in regards to the main goal of going up. We have earned the right to be able to rest some of our big hitters these next 2 games; We really should take advantage here rather than going all in to chase the record and risk tiredness for the games that matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Dirty Leeds for constant fouling and cheating and doing everything (and succeeding) to stop us playing and stop us winning. The Grim Reaper is only poised though. We meet the in the playoffs and the blood will be flowing out of the open door, no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 It had to come to an end sometime obviously. I know it's probably not likely we would've have won with 11 men but it's a shame that our winning streak had to come to an end through such blatant cheating.

TRO Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Well, we know what we have to face now in the play offs and Albion too can be a bit physical....they like to get in your face and mix it....we need to be ready for that. When we are on our game and the first touches go in and the passing improves and players run in to dangerous positions, we seem to be able to negate being "clattered" to a degree....but when we are not and we move the ball slowly and the running off the ball is less frequent, we do seem to be suseptible to the " clatter".....In short we get caught in possession and our game becomes untidy and incohesive and more players become less interested. If we move the ball quicker opposing players struggle to get to "clatter" us.....and as we are a team (with the odd exception) that is shy/reluctant to "clatter" back....we need to be on our game.
