A good away point gained.
A point closer to 7th than we were at the start of the day.
A clean sheet.
Earlier in the season we’d have taken any 1 of those.
Lots of positives.
The most positive post re: yesterday's game.
Whilst it was clear to those who see many more games than I do that we weren't up to the level of recent performances, you do have to give some credit to Warrington.
Obviously, having scouted the way we've been playing recently, they set out not to let us spray the ball around. They put huge pressure on the ball and harassed our player in possession for the entire match. I thought they might fall away from this towards the end of the game, and moreso because they'd gone down to 10 men, but they didn't.
Having said that, it was disappointing that with the extra man we couldn't find the time and space to open them up. They did drop back a little in that last half hour or so and were content to let us pass the ball from side-to-side across the halfway line but, as soon as the ball was played forward, they snapped into a tackle.
They also made the odd break themselves and, had their star forward Isaac Buckley-Ricketts (the son of a former work colleague of mine!!) connected better with the header towards the end, we could have come home with a loss.
