Raises the question... Marchant or Northmore

As mentioned earlier, Northmore all day. He looks super quick
and strong. Joe has not been the same player he was for us since
he came back from NZ.

And breeeeeathe. The minimum we had to take from today was the 5
points and we did that with ease. We got sloppy and let
Gloucester right back into the game from nowhere. But great
resilience to go again and respond from the setbacks. We’ve seen
our own young team selections do similar things in the past so
it happens.
What an awesome 6Ns period from the team,e we’ve put ourselves
in a great position to challenge for silverware potentially at
the end of the season. Bristol is a complete free hit for me, no
one will expect us to win so let’s see what we can do.

It's a good selection conundrum to have. I'm sure Marchant
would have looked great against that opposition as well.

Never said it was an excuse. It's a problem.

Interesting to see how Bath seemed to have switched off in the
second half as well after a big lead

Worcester's bench had their first team players and Bath lost key
players to injury.

That's Quins post Gustard. We play in bursts. 20mins of being
irresistible where we score the bulk of our points and then we
let the oppo back in.
We probably can't play full tilt for 80mins, but we need to get
smarter at managing the game and taking the wind out of the
opposition sales when they start getting their tails up.

It pre-dates Gustard by a few years.

mentally weak streak is to the fore today. Hopefully the bench
can make a difference and if things go extremely well we won't
concede any more tries now that the 3 try average against us has
been reached.

Yeah, can't deny it, you've called it consistently. Massive
weak-minded streak. Luckily the quality got us out of jail, but
against better opposition we will be in trouble if we pull that.
Bristol next week a massive test.
