I don't want to be one but all too often over the last few years
we have had a magnificent did not see that one coming victory
followed by a defeat. I don't want to be to hard on this team
because the very fact they have not had a pointless game this
season speaks volumes about the improvement that has been made
since that woeful end to the last campaign. But if this team
really want to go places they have to put together a winning run
every now and again, false dawns won't cut it. On the subject of
winning runs a victory at Welford Road and yes i mean victory
not "well at least we got a bonus point" and a Crimbo win at the
big Stoop looking at the fixtures early in the new year a 5-6
game winning run is not beyond the realms of possibility. And if
that was to happen then maybe we could all start to believe.

I am living in the moment and enjoying a fantastic win
yesterday. Lost my voice and have a sore throat this morning. So
proud to be a Quin and to support a magnificent team effort!

First win V Ex in last nine attempts so right now happy with
that. We seem to have the ability to up our game now and again
against the supposed bigger teams and then seem toothless
against the ‘weaker’ ones so agree we need to have a run of wins
to cement the improvements seen so far this season.

Really ?
Can I suggest you just enjoy a committed 80min performance
against one of the most solid teams in the competition
What exactly is it that you want to start to believe in ?
3 months ago we were touted by many as relegation favourites ,
most were hopeful we could show some commitment and be happy in
the 6-10 positions and build for next year .
Most peoples idea of a very successful season would have been
hitting 5th or 6th
Are you now suggesting that because weve had one excellent
result we should consider we can win the Prem ?
That escalated quickly ...

Do you at least except the premise that Quins do not control all
the actual outcomes of a game?
Coupled with the premise of winning away from home being really
tough?
Oh and the fact that this is the closest league season ever.
I would also add, that the premise of putting a winning run
together would be great and if this team was expecting to be a
top 4 team, then it is necessary - however as far as i can see,
we're year 1 into a new regime - the current set up are still
coming to terms with the make up of the squad and also the way
they need to play - so i fear we will experience a fair few up
and downs over this season and the next - but as long as over
the seasons to come we make steady progress forward - that would
be great.

By people who are strangely (mostly) silent now... until our
next defeat when suddenly we'll be lucky to avoid relegation...

If we keep playing like that then we are a top 4 side.

Yes this is year one of the Gustard era and clearly
morale,desire,commitment and quality of defence has improved
enormously.Last night demonstrated we can attack pretty well as
well.To finish 5th or 6th will be very satisfactory another
higher a real bonus.After several years of misery visits to the
Stoop are becoming enjoyable again.Well done to all concerned

We looked like a top 4 sure yesterday! If we keep playing like
that then I think a top 4 finish is not unreasonable. We have a
good squad that just hasn't been performing at anything like its
potential but that does seem to be changing. Onwards and
upwards, come on you Quins!
