Tipped as relegation possibility

Ugo in the Radio 5 Rugby Podcast (good listening) has us tipped
to go down and certainly bottom 3 along with Sale and Worcester.
They do though see Sale as most probably getting out of the
bottom 3 once the southern hemisphere players and Ashton are
back. We are not tipped to win the next 2 games. I am not saying
this is my opinion - just reporting it. The Sunday Times rugby
podcast - also very good - said we were dire against Bristol -
no idea, no attack, gave away so many penalties.
We do need to get better...

Sadly this is seen as worth publishing by Radio 5. Let's be
honest, at this stage of the season, 6 (or maybe 8) teams could
be seen as possibilities for relegation. And after 4 games,
who's to say we won't hit a rich vein of form - as Leicester
have done for a few seasons now, after a poor start.
So we may not win the next two games - but we could win plenty
of the other sixteen games. And relegation isn't decided after
six games.

I'm guessing Danny wasn't co-hosting this week then!
I think it's fair tip us as one of the team who might be in the
mix, but not sure why Sale are more likely to improve than us.
Ok, they'll get their southern hemisphere players back. We'll
get Horwill, Clifford, Brown, just got Sink back, etc

I agree with Quinky. Wont change overnight, progress is being
shown in some areas and I expect that around xmas we will be
starting to look like a team.

And I'd remind you this poor performing team is currently six in
the table. Agreed the next two games could be horrid, but
perhaps the coaches lectures on discipline will finally get
through and we can start to build something.

Most of the press pundits had us in the bottom third of the
table before the season started along with Saints Worcester and
Bristol , most table predictions I saw were for 9th or 10th .
I do feel there is a much better attitude than last season so
hopefully discipline will be sorted and we will click again.
Best thing we can do is get right behind them with noisy
support .

Funny so we have had big Kev, the Cat, Sync, Marler, Brown all
out for most of these first few games amongst others and they
dont seem to count as giving us more strength when they come
back in the team. Admitted we havent set the world alight but
playing badly and got the bonus points sees us as 6th, wouldnt
write us off just yet.

Definite possibility. We’ve had 4 pretty easy games & only won
one of them.
