I think that the squad rotation of other teams is also a factor,
you look at Leeds, Dings, Clifton and Judds; all have access to
higher divison (incl premiership academy) players. We did seem
however, to fair less well against these teams (in particular
Leeds) and some fatigue may have set in with our consistency.
Difficult to tell. A lot of the matches with big scorelines were
close for a full half or even 60 mins and then the more clinical
teams have piled on the points at the end. I definitely felt
that we lost some steam at the backend of the first half of the
season but also seemed to lose a bit of faith in the backs and
reverted to a more kicking orientated stategy as well. We have 2
from 2 on our inbound journey and a solid 10 points in the bag,
so hopefully we are recharged, becuase we will need to be!!

Saturday showed what we can do and apart from Dings we narrowly
lost 2 games. The margins are very small in this league. At this
stage we are second and if we get 5 from the game in hand we go
top. Which is a good place to be. It will be tough on Saturday
at Rosslyn and Plymouth look very dangerous judging by their
recent results. If we win Saturday and i think we will, that
will be a marker. Plymouth will probably be a very big game and
Sale last match could be very interesting. It is such an
enjoyable season Harvey and the team are providing for us.

Plymouth look like they have 4 away games to go (Dings, Birm,
Us, Sale). We have Park, Judds, Club, Sedge. So the Away at Club
and Park and the home matches vs Plym and Sale are the big
ticket matches for us. When you list it out, its such a tough
league and the other matches will be also tough. There is no
let-up. We have to be on the money all the way to the end. I
suspect Plymouth will be on their game all the way and their big
matches will be against us and Sale.

Injuries have had an impact.
Dave Swift’s round up in the programme named Callum and Ellis as
the casualties from Leeds, with Donks struggling as well. Long
term there’s Pete Hudson, Calvin Mitchell and Cuchulain
Livingstone all still being monitored, and almost every player
went into the Christmas break with a niggle or something not
right.
Training apparently is ‘brutal’, according to the guys who work
for the TCF, and some of these players have been at this level
or higher for many seasons. It takes its toll.
Harvey regularly says it would be good to select from a full
squad - half way through the season and he’s still not had that
chance.
As for the kick chase comments - again, speak to Harvey at a
Titans Tuesday (on a Wednesday) as it is part of a game plan and
he has good arguments for why it is part of the options he wants
them to use on a match day.
It is going to be a fascinating few months.

I don't think anyone would oppose 'kick chase' as a valuable
tool. It just needs to be executed well and also used
appropriately. I can't attend the Titans Wednesdays (live 260
miles away), but I have every faith that Harvey knows his stuff
and our league position and the trajectory we have been on since
he took over totally demonstrates that. I just think that, on
occasion, some of the players don't quite excute and perhaps
fatigue, injury play their part in that. Also, our opponents
watch what we do and come up with counter measures. The second
half of the season seems to have started the same way as the
first half so hopefully we can hang in with the top 3 or 4 and
be in the fight for promotion. It feels like we are in with a
shout and we can still be masters of our own destiny. I dont
think we can afford to kick away too much to Plymouth, club or
Park and it will be interesting to see how we play those
fixtures (starting this weekend).
