I feel sorry for OK. He must be gutted at that performance when he dearly needs the season ticket sales to be good this year. It was the first time this year that I actually wondered if Franny is up to the job just yet. These are well paid players and to show no effort makes you wonder if there is something going on behind the scenes annoying them. Can it be the wages issue? The next signing I would make is to go out and persuade Glen Morrison or someone like him to come and help Franny knock this bunch into shape. Someone stood on the sideline who they would not like to face after performing like that.

We were awful from start to finish today. Total lack of intensity right the way through, and too many players who seem to have knocked off for the season

Pity that Langley got crocked early, he was at least putting in some effort - none of the other forwards ever looked like punching a hole in their defence.

Fair play to London, they thoroughly deserved their - if no other reason that they completed the bulk of their sets. What was our completion rate? Must have been shockingly low

As has been said, you have to feel gutted for Omar and RHP. They surely picked this game to launch the season tickets expecting a thumping win. Grrrrr

Mock him but he was head and shoulder above gale in that game, I'm not a gale knocker but he was dire if he is our number 7 for the future i don't think we are going anywhere fast.

Players complain about not being paid after that performance OK should be asking for his money back, kear, addy, platt and Langley get mentions for taking the ball up. Foster and scruton didn't do to bad either.

While we're ripping into Gale, I think perhaps it's fair to mention that Sammut was completely anonymous today. What did he actually contribute?

The play was predictable... The ball was always heading for Sowood.
Teams like get a rap for being a 'one man team' sometimes. Like with Dobson, Sowood ect.. But I'd prefer that than a scrum half who hasn't got the confidence to take control of the game.

Massive rumblings about Cummins man management or lack of it. Senior players demanding showdown talks with Omar in next few weeks.

"In the next few weeks" is it? The rumblings are so massive that they demand a showdown "in the next few weeks"! This really has the ring of truth, doesn't it?

What do we want?

We demand a showdown with the boss!

When do we want it?

Er, oh, we'll, maybe some time in the next few weeks?"

Thanks pal, you've brightened up a crap day, very amusing

Lets just see shall we if Cummins survives.

I can't see us paying off FC if I'm honest, it would cost money that we probably can't afford to spend.
And then who would replace him? All of the signings for next season have been made by FC, so whoever came in would be inheriting a squad that they had absolutely no say in whatsoever.

I've seen enough over this season to convince myself that FC isn't good enough to be a SL coach, but I will be surprised if he gets the sack.

FC isn't to blame

In your opinion.

FFS I made a "joke".

What are you, Quote A Cliche"?

"Let's just see shall we".

Well, let me examine the alternatives to that:

1. Buy a time machine, travel into the future, and see what happened.

2. Er, that's it.

Have you actually got anything meaningful to say?

But somebody has to carry the can, and all coaches have been judged by results and performances since time immemorial, and always will be.

I don't claim to have an inside track to the workings of the board, but where is there a board in the world that wouldn't be royally fscked off by the way we have petered out this season?

My biggest reservation about Franny when he got the gig was this; Is He A Leader Of Men. I will say that he has surprised me quite a bit, and has gone up in my estimation, taking all things into account. But hands up all those who are happy that the team today played like they were fearful of the hairdryer when they got off the pitch.
