I had naively assumed our problem was largely the Jk led
coaching team and there was little wrong with the players.Bring
in a new coaching team and the players would enthusiastically
respond.As others have said it is becoming apparent of a deeply
ingrained cultural issue at all levels starting with DE who
frankly is deluded that we are progressing nicely.Am beginning
to wonder whether splitting the DOR role into 2 is the right
answer.No one solely responsible for developing genuine team
spirit and sense of purpose and oneness.

If this is what this place is like after a couple of pre season
games I hate to think what it's going to be like when we lose a
competitive game.
The difficulties are there for all to see. Gustard has had a few
weeks with the players, I expect to see an improvement on last
year but I'm not expecting miracles. Certainly not going to make
big judgments on the coaching team before the season starts.
Sale and the first few games will be a barometer, not pre
season. I get that after the last few years we're all seriously
nervous about another season of poor basics, malfunctioning line
out and embarrassing defensive errors and don't get me wrong, I
am too! But... I'm not planning on starting the full on panic
just yet, more slightly concerned.

Apparently hooker is now OK. I've pointed out the mammary issue
to the powers that be. (Who seem much more responsive than on
the sportnetwork board.)

agree with A222Quin above - everyone needs to take a chill pill
- this is pre-season - yes not great against Glasgow but that
was not our first 15 and change takes time - give the team etc a
few premiership games and then see where we are :-0

Just to be clear I wasn't having a massive downer on the season
in starting the thread.
It was more watching Glasgow and being reminded of our mental
frailty and failures at the tackle and breakdown. I'm v positive
about the new era, but think it could take a lot of time to fix.
It was a proper pondering over the psychology of sport, team
morale, group-think, whatever really we think ended up at the
stage where we're so fragile that any sign of our tactics not
working, we fall apart.
Can't wait for Friday!

Sorry Bluercher but didn’t you recently say “ Relegation fodder”
or was that someone else?
I’ll start to panic if we get a kicking from Sale at home
followed by a loss away to Saints
Until the season starts for sure with more of the first choice I
don’t think there’s a great deal we can learn from pre season.
I’m hoping Gussy giving everyone a good run out to work out
who’s match fit and wants to play first game

Yeah, everyone concedes 50 points in friendlies, not sure what
we can learn from preseason.

So do we write the whole season off based on pre season Rodney?
Is that the team we will see run out on a regular basis in the
premiership?
Yes the result was a howler, but let’s get a grip and panic when
it’s necessary

Nope that was someone else and I told them not to be so dramatic
