Nobody has mentioned the other major factor. Lady Luck. Say what
you like but she needs to be on your side.

Just come across this article which was a fairly interesting
read, writer has his predicted finish for us as 7th.
What do we think, about right? Or slightly generous.

Gustard certainly did well as defence coach at Sarries. However,
England’s defence last season (for which he was responsible)
wasn’t anything to write home about; leaked like a
sieve.....hope he’s put that behind him
.

At the risk of getting over excited the contrast between the JK
regime/culture and PG appears to be huge and I expect to see a
very different attitude from the players on the pitch.The Sale
game is a perfect test as being at home to a mid table side is
exactly the kind of game we must win.I am looking forward with
great enthusiasm for the first time in years.Finish 6th for
Gussie’s 1st season will
do me.

Agreed. Although it's only the first game of the season, in the
overall scheme of things it's a must-win in terms of points and
morale.

But where does the article rank in the Blucherquin negativity
scale - or is that honour reserved purely for my posts?

I'm not too worried by the England issues with Gustard. He only
got the players for a couple of weeks at a time and they all
played slightly different versions of defence, which he then had
to unify. Here he has the players week in week out teaching them
his approach to defence. Even the prop forwards will learn it
eventually! :)

Gustard brings fans a realistic optimism that has been sadly
absent at the start of recent seasons.
To repeat my first post on this thread - only time will tell
which Quins turns up in 2018/19 but given the fixture list the
Sale game and those up to the end of October will give a good
indication (imho).

I'm pretty sure I said I'm happy as long as we don't get
relegated and don't look like the collection of over-the-hill
england players and bench-filling squad dross who hate each
other and can't tackle that we've looked like for the past two
years (or something like that).
So yeah, 7th is fine.
