Despite disagreeing with the suggestion, we have playing ,2 out
of 3 of our theoretically easiest home games and played awfully
on both. After today would you expect us to beat Exeter at
home,?

There is unrest - two men attempting to do the job the DOR’s
of recent seasons have done and the club is in the same
situation. Any news on David Ellis replacement ?

Can't believe that anyone could even think we should get rid of
Gustard. The weather today was awful, which makes any game a
bit of a lottery. We ere missing our first choice Front row, it
days like today that the pack earns their strips. Yes we don't
have as much depth as Sarries there again we have not been
spending over the cap. If we are going to have two England
multi cap Props as our first choice it means we have less to
spend on other props. Worcester had their first choice props and
we had a second string.
A few years ago we would have been tonked today, we have a
defence that works now. Are we the finished article no, have we
got more to do Yes. Will Gustard we wanting more out of people
certainly.
We have found a real number 7, Ross showed he can catch in tough
conditions and for a third choice fullback is better than most
in the league. Big Tex had a solid start.
Do I want more yes but I believe it will come

Hi, wuss fan in peace.
Not exactly our first choice front row with waller and schonert
injured, and with Mudariki also out we have had to sign a
medical joker from Grenoble. Hopefully he will be ready soon.
Despite the late start, I think many clubs are picking up a lot
of injuries.
200 tackles against Chiefs last week meant we started the game
without Pennell, Mills, Weir. Lewis and Mama so most of us were
expecting a bit of a hammering.
The weather and interpretation at the breakdown meant we
probably stole one this week.
I'm sure Quins will come good.
Hopefully we'll see a few of you at sixways.

No prospect of Recovery?!?!
I have said on here I liked the rotation idea, if it meant
players did not have to play with niggles, we could get
competition in the squad etc but, I dont like rotation for
rotation sake. As it stands right now, with the postition we
are in, consistency is the key. Looking at us and some of the
mistakes we are making, I wonder if a few are a bit undercooked,
too rotated!!! I like PGs approach etc but now we need to get
back to basics. Certainly would not write him off just yet but
this is where he needs to dig in and earn his pay.
We've had a bad start, on paper I would have expected to home
wins and to away defeats tbh. I still think we will be fine,
provided we get back to the basics

Club are going backwards. Then again when you sign championship
standard players what do you expect?? Relegation favs IMO

My gut feeling is that the last summers clean out was part 1 of
draining the swamp so to speak. There are a few more of the old
guard & JK’s final signings to get rid of. As for the new
signings I see effort & ability in some. The game plan seems
clear but at the moment the players selected are not kick
chasing very well. If our first 15 was being put out & we were
playing at the same level then I would be more worried.

I struggled to see who the leaders were yesterday. With no
Brown, Robshaw or Care we seemed totally lost. Ross Chisholm
played the high ball really well but Landajo was awful and there
was no-one picking up the loose ball scraps (as Robshaw does so
well). Then we took our captain and no.10 off towards the end
and that made things even worse. A really bad game and top 6
looks a lot less likely than a relegation scrap to me...

I love that the season is being written off after four games. At
least people aren't overreacting...
