Re: So, what needs fixing?

How about this for a provocative answer? (as in intended to
provoke debate rather than upset someone). Maybe the question
though well intended is slightly wrong. It implies that the COS
way of playing is still right and we just need to "fix" some
things and we'll do well. Maybe we need a whole new style of
play? If so this will take time and we might go through a rough
patch at first. A bit like when we were promoted under Deano.
If I recall correctly we lost the first 6 games and were
seriously in trouble (I remember going to Bristol and letting in
over 50 points). But then we started to click and eventually
finished 8th. This was the basis of the team that went on to
win the league. I suspect this season might be similar

Nothing needs "fixing". Season hasn't started. Post your doom
and gloom after 1st September!

Again, it's not doom and gloom about this season. It's that we
were clearly psychologically in a very bad place last season and
again against Glasgow. So hence wondering what it is that
happened that Gustard will now (hopefully) fix.
But do you really think nothing needs fixing? That's the whole
point of this discussion (or it was meant to be..). I think
there's a vast amount of work to be done - not just "new bloke
turns up and our list of great players will suddenly nail it".

Glasgow are a good team with some serious depth. Away from home
we were competitive for 40 minutes and then with changes fell
off the pace. Gussy has inherited a team and the couple of
signings suggests to me that we are looking for greater strength
and ball carrying. There are no instant fixes but when we have
a 1st XV that is our strongest on the pitch that is the time to
compare.
I am hopeful of a brighter future. COS inherited a team from
Deano that was built from scratch. Things started to go wrong
when the likes of Ollie Kohn and JJ stopped playing for us.
They helped to provide front foot rugby. If we can get back to
that we will stand a chance to be competitive.
Friday should be a training session and some match practice but
little more. If we don't manage to string phases of play
together regardless of the team selected that may give me
concern.

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.)

Is it a bad word?

Apparently we have a very US centric profanity checker. So yes,
we were having problems using hooker, which in a rugby site is a
bit of a problem.
