On Swinton page someone has said that the Cougars are nothing out of the ordinary,that made me seeth now I want all the players and JD to use this as the inspiration to get back to winning ways,come on fellas us as fans know it's in you,get them heads up and show them Lancastrians what we are made of.Cougars till I die.

Andy can you blame them for saying this?

Our last few results don't really say a lot do they?>

No of course not Jim,all I'm saying is that is the kind of statement that should fire the lads up and show that we are capable of a lot more,I for one believe it's in us,and if it made me react then it should do the players,I would want to try harder to put it right.

Let's be honest mate, we aren't all that.

We've lost 5 games in the league, including the last 4 in a row during a period when we have had a pretty much fully fit squad to choose from. 2 of those defeats were to the teams placed 2nd and 3rd bottom in the table.

After the really heroic efforts of last season it's difficult to take. Even more so given the heroic performances against Toulouse and Wire in the cup this season.

It seems that in the last few weeks the board and backroom staff have been making huge progress in attracting sponsorship to the club and trying to promote the club's brand.

Now it's the players' turn, and maybe as fans we can help. Let's try and create a synergy between the players and the fans. The more we cheer them on, the better they play and vice versa.

That's what I'm getting at mate,now is the time to really pull together as one,we have to get back to winning ways asap starting next week and if we turn Swinton over the week after confidence will be restored and I for one believe we have it in our locker,keep the faith guys.

Should the players, have to read something like that to fire them up?

Shouldn't that be the job of the coach during the week?

I guess it should really Jim,I'm just trying to remain positive in times of adversity.

Being positive is great, but sometimes in life reality gets in the way.
Maybe now is that time.

Maybe so,whatever though I'll still be there on Sunday shouting mi sen ho!

So will i Andy.

But will that be enough?

Time will tell I guess but as long as we the fans are putting the effort and remain positive that can only be a positive mate.

Maybe it will, maybe it won't.

But I'd rather see folk try and fail than not bother to try at all.

It's in times of adversity that this club needs us most, we've answered the call before, now it's time to answer the call again.
