Agree with much of this. Complete lack of leadership and fitness is absolutely an issue, seen obviously by how sluggish players appear in the second half.

It's confidence as much as anything. You're low on confidence and you start to look sluggish due to your body language. You fail to defend your line in those last few minutes as you don't have the belief you can keep them out.

If we win a few games it will be amazing how quickly those fitness levels will appear to improve.

It's disappointing how many people can't see what Hinchcliffe brings to the team. He's come from playing alongside the best players in the world, in one of the top teams, with top facilities. He's come half way around the world to a completely different way of life with his immediate family, whilst leaving his friends and other family members behind. To a team with, moaning fans and bottom of the league- he's probably wishing he didn't bother!
Remember Taais first few months, or fui's. He's demonstrating how hard working he is and how few errors he makes. For me he's proved a solid aquisitiion and I think he will get better.

It's a result of Grix getting injured (he truly must be blamed for everything ). It's left some fans without anyone to target so it's the spray effect. Review this and the most recent threads - there's barely a player or member of the coaching team that isn't a disappointment.

By the way, I 100% agree you - he's been solid through difficult times and a difficult transition who will only get better and better.

Completely agree. I think on the whole most of the team have played well individually, just not collectively

At 38-34 today I was shocked when, with 40 seconds left on the clock today none of your players rushed to form the scrum. They simply stood around and didn't pack down until there were 7 seconds left. I can take defeats etc, but that would have had me fuming. Come to think of it there was a knock on a couple of minutes prior to that and I thought you were slow to form up and the ref actually stopped the clock before your loose was even at the formation.

i bet him and repaira r wondering where the f##k have we come too hinchcliffe t me seem too good for sum of r players hes seeing things n other players aint on the same wave length as him

Was that the knock on that came off the players boot......

Pathetic.

Yes that's exactly what we said about the decision at the time.

Did you say the same when your first try was awarded or are you one of those one-eyed fans who only see's the decisions that you think you didn't get?

It's the norm for us this year, forming up to stop the clock doesn't seem to be part of the game plan!!

Couldn't say- didn't see our first try due to the posts in the way. - is that what you meant by one-eyed????

OK Mr Wenger.

yep again they just dont seem intrested or just knackered... fitness? never been a problem at this club in the past, well when we had nathan brown as coach with his mini pre seasons mid season
