       Indeed. The decline at tighthead is really marked.

       A few things that struck me today Sale seemed physically
       stronger both sides of the ball, they also seemed a lot fitter
       overall. We also appear to lack the desire and attitude to win.
       I actually think we have a decent squad (ok a few players need
       to come in to add physicality) but our coaching seems bang
       average! I don’t think it all stops with Wilson he should be the
       first out but maybe hold the door as we have a shakeup.

       This is exactly what was running through my mind during today`s
       "performance", there is clearly something very much amiss and
       has been for a while now. Whether it is all down to the coaches
       or the club has been concentrating too much on the commercial
       side I don`t know but we are reporting to be spending up to the
       salary cap - perhaps nobody from other clubs wants to play for
       Quins and we are delusional?
       How can we let Jibulu go and hang onto the likes of Els?, as
       much as he has been a great servant to the club DC really is
       past his sell by date (did he actually pass the ball once
       today?). Cunningham-South seemed to be the only player able to
       make any headway through the Sale defensive line while Sale
       seemed to be able to breech the Quins defence at will, felt
       sorry for Marcus and Cadan who were part of a small number
       interested in playing.
       Time to stop rambling, needless to stay did not enjoy much of my
       visit to The Stoop today and already wondering if my tickets for
       the trip to Leicester next week are a sensible investment.
       COYQ.

       Let’s face it, we are a shambles. Our attack is non existent and
       our defence is a work in progress. Well done to the coaching
       staff for improving our game. We were so much better when our
       game plan was just go out and score more points than we concede.

       I don't think the only 2 choices are rainbows or homophobia. Odd
       thing to post ;)

       No sure, but Quins being crap didn’t have much to with trying to
       be more inclusive presumably?
       Either way agree with the people saying something is seriously
       wrong.
       Our attack is non existent. And Smith was awful again.

       Our attacking is largely designed to either fling it wide as
       soon as possible, or to make the right space for a box kick
       we'll never recover.
       Oscar Beard was largely brilliant in defence today. Just wanted
       to mention that as I was very critical of his tackling and his
       decision making at 13 for a long time. He's really become an
       excellent all round player and a display like that in a team
       performance that poor speaks volumes.
       So does the fact that he got to run the ball all of 5 times and
       made 1 metre.

       There were acres of space behind Sale’s (mostly offside) rush
       defence yet how many kicks were put through for runners? We just
       seemed devoid of belief & attacking spark today. Don’t think
       Matthew Carley helped us much either though. They were a well
       drilled very physical side & wore us down. A tad worried about
       our front five, some serious recruitment required there. Marcus
       Smith has played too many games out of position & it’s showing
       now, even he struggles on the back foot. Club is on a down cycle
       at present.
