Zero prrogres vs last season?

As much as I was depressed by JK’s laser season and encouraged
by the spirit shown this season, the harsh facts on paper are no
progress when you look at the same fixtures (using Bristol and
LI as equivalent games.
Actually lost more games (4/6) but more bonus points to have
same total:
17/18 vs 18/19
39-29 LI a 1pt vs Bristol 23-20 1pt
30-22 Saints a 0pts vs 25-18 1pt
42-26 Sale h 5pts vs 51-24 5pts
20-5 Bath h 4 pts vs 31-37 2pts
37-9 Glos a 0pts vs 25-27 4pts
20-25 Sarries 20-19 4pts vs 20-25 1pt
Season to date
17/18 w3/l3 14 pts (pts diff-5pts) vs 18/19 w2/l4 14pts (pts
diff+8pts)

Interesting comparison. Last season's problems came home to
roost in the disastrous second half of the season. The first few
months were, ostensibly, pretty good.
The positive feeling, currently, is such a plus and should
carry the boys through to May. That might sound wishy-washy but
it is the intangible difference from the last campaign. The
fight and determination is there, even if the results aren't.
That said, still gutted that we lost at home to Barf!

There is massive progress from last season. The whole feel of
things has changed for me. I understand it but I m not sure
comparing results to last season matter that much, teams change
for example. This is a different side. The game yesterday, I
think last seasons side would have shipped a fair few points
(and likewise in a few other games this season). Million miles
away from last years team. Cut the penalties and dodgy LO out
and we will be flying I think.

Yes, progress has certainly been made. Didn’t get the result
last night and I was dead frustrated for the last ten minutes
and at the end but in the cold light of day we gave the top team
in the league a serious working over and had chances to win the
game. Not sure how instructive comparing this season’s like for
like results with last is in terms of measuring progress,
different teams will have progressed at different rates and
games will be played under different conditions.

As I and others have said from the start, avoiding relegation
and clearly starting to build something new and better are the
aims this year.
And this year is absolutely nothing like last season in terms of
the way we’re playing and the way the team is working.
I’m watching an improving team with heart and what’s turning
into a very good defence.
Last year they didn’t care and didn’t have a clue.

I guess this is a classic case of trying to compare the tangible
with the intangible. From a statistical view point we appear no
better or worst than last season but on gut feel we are. Well,
FWIW I'm going with my gut at the moment ;-)

Statistics do lie - huge difference between this year and last
year. The only match the boys played like last night was the
Sarries match, but we have really looked up for it in all
matches this season and the win on the road last week was
excellent

100% agree on this. Picking up 6 bonus points despite the
defeats is a clear indication of fighting spirit and I think
Gustard’s influence is becoming increasingly apparent.
For now, I think he’s focusing on making us hard to beat which I
think is the best strategy with the squad we currently have.
