Eddie Jones to go, soon.

I've had enough of his stubborn favoritism.
We have been humbled by Scotland and Wales. Yet he keeps
sticking to the same players in key positions.
It is demoraliaing for the likes of Robson to get 10 mins in a
game like that. He needs to start as do Odgwu at 13 (move Slade
to 12), Earle in for Billy Vunipola, Malins for Daly.
The team needs shaking up, we have lost the six nations and we
have nothing to lose.
My team for France would be:
15. Malone
14. Watson
13. Odogwu
12. Slade
11. May
10. Ideally Marcus Smith but in reality George Ford
9. Robson
8. Earle
7. Curry
6. Law's
5. Hill
4. Itojay
3./Sinklair
2. LCD
1. Vunipola

This is just pathetic
Eddie Jones blames defeat on failure to deal with 'emotional
disruptions' of referee

I wouldn't have Itoje in the team, another hyped up player (like
Farrell) who can't even work out to stop giving away stupid
bl@@dy penalties.

It was disgusting to hear Jones speak about his wife not being
able to get food on the table if he spoke out against the
referee yesterday and would be fined. At a time when people have
lost their jobs and are using food banks it was most unsavoury

I couldn't help but think of all the starving children in
Ethiopia when he said that. I hope Bob Geldof and Midge Ure
write a protest song about it.

Jones should be left in the study with a bottle of whisky and a
revolver. But I doubt he'd do the decent thing....
The sarries lot look horribly rusty, Daly was frankly
incompetent, Itoje just the wrong side of marginal all
afternoon, Farrell was mentally not up to it. He looked
flustered and unsure as the way through (not helped by Gauzre
I'm sure).

This Malone guy sounds good...
I doubt the rfu can afford to sack him. The question is whether
he's willing to change course. He's done it before, but it's
rare that a head coach becomes less conservative over time.
Itoje needs a rocket. But he's a genuinely brilliant player and
we don't have a lock that comes close to him. Farrell is kind of
a nothing player at international level these days; it's
difficult to explain why he's feted as much as he is when he's
not much of a runner, his passing isn't all that, his discipline
is poor, and his decision making is often quite bad. There's a
good player in there somewhere but he is not physically gifted
compared to most international backs, so if he's not at his best
then he really struggles to offer anything.
And we've built the team around him as captain and player. Well.
Billy can go have a rest for a year or two, maybe watch some
other 8s to see what they bring to the table. He used to a
bigger attacking threat rather than just fatter, but we've not
seen that in a long while.
Daly is still a bad fullback. This has been true for ages.
Ridiculous we continue with this.
Youngs played alright but frequently puts in poor performances.
Robson struggles with the "rescue the game off the bench" role.
Robson deserves to start a few, and Randall seems tailor made
for the Danny Care impact role.
But more importantly, we really need to understand that the
kicking game is not helping us win matches. It worked
brilliantly a while back when teams weren't set up to cope with
it, and it's a good tactic to have in the back pocket because it
will win some matches again. We saw a more attacking approach
yesterday, which could be a sign of things to come. I'd love to
see what Ford could do without a midfield made entirely of
"playmakers" - especially Farrell - and it's time we developed
midfield threats that actually score tries on a regular basis.
Discipline sorts itself out if there's consequences for getting
it wrong. Eddie's stubborn loyalty to past their best stalwarts
is a problem here.
Funny thing is, they remind me a lot of Quins under Gustard.

I think on the whole Eddie has lost the fans. The performances,
selections, and his comments are frankly atrocious.
If the RFU are serious about making a go of the next WC, Eddie
needs the boot, or failing that some forced changes. There is
about 5-6 positions that need sorting urgently

No I think Eddie would use the revolver. I just think that he
would probably miss.
