Leeds were in this boat last season, and we all know what happened next?'"
The difference is that Leeds had plenty of injuries, along with adjusting to life under a new coach. I didn't think they would win the GF, but it was clear their early season form was not a true reflection on those players.
Last season saints had a poor start but they had the eternal effort of Roby and Graham keeping them going, that partnership has now been cut in half. What kept them fresh last season was the introduction of regular spots for the likes of Lomax and Gaskell. That honeymoon period has now run its course. I can't see where they will get their inspiration from in all honesty.
From what I am hearing from saints fans, it sounds like their worst home performance for a long, long time. It shocks me that there was no late comeback from the red vee, not guts, no determination. None of the things you usually expect from saints.
So far this season they have beaten London in the first game, London are currently one of the worst teams and everyone has beaten them. They then played Salford and were outplayed for large parts of the match, perhaps the Langtree Park first game factor got them through? Since then they scraped a draw against Hull KR and then lost the last 3. Saints have gone 4 games without a win. Someone please tell me the last time that happened!
