Re: Abysmal afternoon against relegation fodder

I actually thought in the air, Gabs was absolutely fine. It was
just when he was defending one on one against a big chap, e.g.
Heam, that he struggled.
One of the things that annoyed the stats side of me is that we
had absolutely no handling errors the entire match until Ward
came on, and then we ended up on 2 - both by Ward.
Apart from that, our attack was absolutely clinical, but the
defence did get the blood pressure up a bit.

Strange things happen in high scoring games especially when the
game appeared won so early on.
Just compare and contrast to the away game at Worcester earlier
in the season. I know which I’d prefer.
There’s probably stuff to learn from the game as always, but I’d
say the result really wasn’t ever in doubt!
Let’s try and enjoy this position and maybe perhaps we can
finally let the ghost of relegation go this year....Surely not
going to happen now (jeez I don’t want to jinx it!)?

I like this forum - lots of people add really incisive comments.
This, however, is embarrassing clickbate. ‘Abysmal’? Watch
another team Bulcher. Join another forum.
Lots of great rugby. Yes defence was weak in second half
especially, but so much to have enjoyed yesterday afternoon.
Celebrate that.
I have no idea why people love to revel in negativity.

Ward was appalling.
Dombrandt good carries, Robshaw looked like he just needs a bit
more game time, Care, Marchant, Earle v good. Gabs great going
forward but really is bad going back. He can’t appear to tackle
- seems to try to arm fend people, maybe he’s trying to rip the
ball every tome? Either way it doesn’t work.

“Just wow” - really? I doubt you’re 21 and this ain’t social
media.
We lost the second half to a poor team and let them score 33
points. Show me another top 4 side that did that yesterday.
Saints put 67 over Sale, who scored 17.
Bath beat Newcastle 30-13.
No second half foot off the pedal for them.
So I may have been a bit drunk when I chose the word abysmal but
spare me the idea that there’s nothing to criticise.

Isn’t this confused.
If it’s click bait (which it clearly is) then you’ve just
responded to it, so your high horse has bolted.
You go watch another team or post somewhere else - don’t be so
bloody rude.

I’m confused. I asked someone not to be rude and repeated their
words back to them. That makes him the “keyboard warrior”
doesn’t it?
You coventiently didn’t quote or didn’t read the full post which
told me I should go and support another team or post on another
forum because I found our second half performance was awful.

Since people are getting angry because people disagree with
them, let me try another tack here.
This was a victory during the Gustard era in which we are
building what looks like a great side and have had an improving
defence - all be it with some continuing examples of poor
defence right up until the Exeter win.
Yesterday’s win felt far more like a win from the previous two
years when we’d turn on the attack and manage a rare win - that
was papering over all the issues and made those of us who
weren’t anti JK think “maybe.”
If that win had come in the JK era I doubt I’d be alone in being
very concerned at our defensive performance.
It went notably backwards yesterday from where it has been
recently - and a team better than Worcs would have beaten us.
Yesterday’s results:
Saints 67 Sale 17
Bath 30 Newcastle 13
In that context I’m concerned.
Bears will be a tougher prospect and Glos even more so - and
these games will define our season.
Decent wins and it’s the playoffs - but defend like that second
half (which we lost) and it won’t.
So yes, I’m happy we won - but no, I don’t think it was great.
