Re: Tipped as relegation possibility

I cant see a win in either of the next to games but then we are
Quins and its 80 minutes so anything can happen.
IMHO we need to sort out this warm up, before the sale game you
could see and feel the attitude and want to win, the other games
not so much. We then need to sort discipline lets face it we
are giving away far too many we need to aim for single figures
for a whole game not just a half.
The wins will come i’m Sure of it the D is so much than last
season, i know there are complaints about our wide D but if
there going to score make them go round not through. LO is
getting there (depends whose throwing) we can actuall maul and
defend a maul. So in real terms huge gains already.
But i’m A paid up ST holder and want more. COYQ.

Egg Chasers podcast was also putting us in the relegation battle
this week. It's hard to argue with the way that the team is
(isn't?) playing that we aren't in the mix for the lower end of
the table. I expect and hope that once we get a few vital
players back we'll look a lot better.

Can’t see an issue with thinking we’ll be bottom 3 - find it a
bit weird to attack the bbc for running a rugby podcast where
people who know what they’re talking about get to express their
opinions.....what should they do? Run a podcast that just
repeats the sentence “Quins are great”?

I dont have a problem with anyone thinking we will be in a
relegation tussle, lost 3 of the first 4. What I do not
understand is why Quins are the only team in trouble
(Reading/watching and listening to a few things you would think
that is the case). Ive read that Quins are lucky to be where
we are, because of bonus points. So the teams below us are
unlucky because they have not been good enough to get more so
far??
Quins are doomed, but Sale will be fine once they get player
back (the same sale team we thrashed). Tigers (with only one
win, more points and tries against than anyone, beaten at home
by the relegation favourites pre season) will be fine as they
are Tigers. Saint/Newcastle, again not looked great (Yes Saints
beat us but home advantage I cant say I am surprised) will both
be fine. Worcs, barring one game have looked very poor. Quins
however, who have players to come back, a new coaching set up
that has already improved the defence and, in my view, team
spirit/atmosphere are certain for the drop and should feel lucky
to be where they are!!
I think barring the current top 3, everyone is in with a shot of
relegation. Gloucs and Bath should be fine but both have looked
pretty poor in certain games this season (Bristol hammered Bath
I thought). Despite the result I still think Worcs are the most
likely. It will be exciting though.

Horwill coming back should make a difference. It would also be
good to have official news on Rob Buchanan. It is hard to
believe that 5 or 6 seasons ago we had too many young good
hookers.

BT Sport seem to think Bath are top four candidates based on
their most recent poll. Bit odd

I agree. Bristol done a number on them and Gloucs tore them
apart (but then they come back and bullied Gloucs).

I think we will probably go down, we get progressively more
rubbish every season.
Losing at Saints and Bris who are poor sides shows where we are.
We won Saturday which is great but Glos messed up two simple
tries - that will not happen to often.
We give away too many pens to gain any momentum.
Clifford returning? Yes for 20 minutes then off injured for 8
months.
L/O still rubbish.
Defence still poor -
Apart from Horwill we do not have a good enough lock and the
back row options are limited where we have numbers but not
enough quality and real depth.
Apart from Eli at hooker we have no decent hooker.
Dread to think what will happen when the internationals come
along with the poor depth of the squad.
I hope we stick with Gussie when we go down which I think is
likely to let him make his own mark on the squad - I cannot
blame him for this mess as he can only do so much with the poor
squad he has and no prem quality 10 but there is certainty an
improvement in spirit and endeavor.

"We won Saturday which is great but Glos messed up two simple
tries - that will not happen to often" - we also messed up two -
Smith tripping up and the one in the corner.
Also, we let in a try while we had a player down with what
looked like a dislocated finger. But, we played most of the
last 40 in their half.
"Clifford returning? Yes for 20 minutes then off injured for 8
months" - but, we do have a number of options to use for
different game plans - e.g. Semi
"L/O still rubbish." - Saturday looked good (I think)
"Defence still poor" - Saturday was okay
"Apart from Eli at hooker we have no decent hooker." - I don't
remember Eli playing on Saturday
"no prem quality 10 " - The Cat
Cheer up - it is a sunny Monday after a good win and we are in
4th position in the table
