Quote Nothus="Nothus"Nah not buying this 'newly promoted' rubbish as an excuse. We've been in this league before, JK has coached in this division long enough to know what it's like and almost all of our players have played in this division or higher before now. As I've already said, despite the low central funding we have still spent far more on our squad than most so the fact that we came up from league 1 last season is irrelevant.
The fact that we haven't been hammered (yet) isn't really the issue - it's the abject performances we're putting in with ball in hand that's disappointing me the most. =#FF0000You talk about 'when' we come good, but who is to say this will definitely happen? We can't even use the injury excuse anymore because barring the two long term absentees everyone was available for selection yesterday and we were still hopeless. There is nobody left to come back and make a difference to the way we play.'"
Sort of what I was getting at earlier. With respect to your "we pay £X to get in so we deserve better" argument, I agree on the whole, we should be putting in better performances. But, I think we've had a very unsettled team this year, particularly in the front rowers and halves, and taking that into account, I would have bitten anyone's hand off to have taken our current league position at this stage in the season. I think your frustrations are partially, but not completely justified.
