Gaskell looked overwhelmed tonight. I hope he was just being eased back into the side, but very few plays went through him, apart from kicks. He was defending in the left centre position all game, with Jones moving inside him.

Surely the win would suggests we did cope with the comeback.

We coped, but the post you seemed to be replying to suggested that we don't have a plan, which we certainly don't appear to have.

For example, why did we opt to run the ball when a kickable penalty was offered to us? That was the occasion when Lomax dropped the ball on the way to the line. We were under real pressure at that point - I can't remember whether we were actually losing but we weren't far off. I was really annoyed at the match that we fell for that stupid idea that we should run our penalties. Had we kicked, we would have secured two points when we badly needed the points, got the ball back and had another chance at a try to turn it into eight. Instead we got zip and put more pressure on ourselves. Ridiculous.

Suggests to me that you where lucky that we had a 3 hour delay on the motorway. If we had arrived earlier then 19:20 to Langtree park then that abysmal 25 minutes would never have happened.

I wouldn't disagree with that!
