Lowton Sparrow, your first paragraph re momentum is bang on the money.

The number of times last season we built up a big lead then eased off to let the opposition back in or failing that neglected the opportunity to run up a really big score was laughable - Fev at home is one that springs to mind.

We've got to get rid of this habit and quick or it's Championship rugby for the foreseeable.

Also need to decide whether we're playing two hookers or not. Taking Higham off seemed like a signal of thinking the game is over, and seemed to react accordingly. If the coach thinks Foster is good enough then he should spell him during tight games. Also, when Higham is off the pitch players like Paterson and Hansen need to step up to lead the team.

Maybe Charnock can interchange with Mickey.

Micky is also carrying an injury, not to mention him not being the youngest player on the field, could he do a full 80 min at hooker? Think it's obvious Foster isn't ready yet & we're playing him in some of these games more out of necessity than any tactical game plan until Bob comes back from injury. Agree fully though when it's so obvious we lose so much when Micky comes off that the other players need to make a real effort to up their games when he does.

Lewis Foster is a very good player and it wasn't his fault we only got the draw. He made no mistakes while he was on. Watch it on Centurion TV.

I think he is a good player too. He doesn't yet attack the line like Higham (who does?!) but he can certainly move the ball away from the ruck. His other 'failing' is lack of experience - but he's only going to rectify that, one way!

I guess we really need Beswick back - he, like Higham is an inspiration to the side. Meanwhile, I'm sure Foster is going to benefit from his spell, deputising for Bob.
