You have to give credit to Town this year. Their team spirit and dogged determination have got them some vital bonus points and that deservedly has kept them up. We hasn't shown that spirit often enough particularly against the better teams.
Thank you for a bit of credit JPJ.
I come on here as a Workington fan and quite honestly I sometimes cannot believe what I read.
I appreciate that you are Whitehaven and I'm Workington and we both may have our rose tinted specs on, but honestly, I'm sure some of you must shake your heads with despair at what some of your fellow supporters write.
I would like to give you a few figures to mull over. Even i'm confident that we can all agree that Leigh, Fev and Halifax are the three best teams in the league.
Town v Leigh 16-28 Leigh v Town 22-12 agg 28-50 -22 points difference 2 league points
Haven v Leigh 10-24 Leigh v Haven 52-0 agg 10-76 -66 points difference 0 league points
Town v Fev 20-18 Fev v Town 32-20 agg 40-50 -10 points difference 4 league points
Haven v Fev 10-24 Fev v Haven 50-14 agg 38-85 -47 points difference 0 league points
Town V Fax 20-20 Fax v Town 18-10 agg 30-38 -8 points difference 3 league points
Haven v Fax 14-36 Fax v Haven 52-12 agg 36-88 -52 points difference 0 league points
Surely this shows that Town have competed with the top sides in the league gaining 9 points while Haven didn't get a point.
I appreciate that it is hard to accept but, come on.
Bringing the Jordan James thing up is just grasping at straws. Do you honestly think that Workington would not have checked their position after what has just gone on with Batley and Doncaster?
Good luck in your remaining games and I do think you'll scrape by and stay up.
