I think you may be correct and it is a good chance that there will be a few who have been long standing supporters. For the first time that I have known a few that I know attend left early on Saturday and this was a first.

It is not "having a pop" GF it is just telling you that we know the club is in a total mess as we all keep saying ourseves, but we don't need constant lectures about it, that is all! you go on and on, many of us have been with the club from the start and we know what has gone on and Yes we are sick and fed up!

| I enjoyed the kids playing before the game and at half-time, if only coz it shows how some people can enjoy the game. We seem doomed to watch this pitiful excuse of a side indefinitely, if DH told us we were getting rid of RP at least we could see a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Communication between the club and fans has hot an all time low.

| We actually looked a well-coached side for a good proportion of Saturday's game - in control of field position and able to build pressure. Some good individual performances and the Gower-Bailey combo looked good. But there ends the good news.
To my mind, it was the selection/use of players that was the major problem. 3 centres used - Lovell, JOC and Channing; 2 of those probably won't ever make it at centre, the third is a decent prospect but needs easing into an established playing structure. Like someone else said, the use of JOC at left centre made no sense when Howell was available. (Just on JOC - he has been appalling and he looks shorn of any belief. He could still be a good winger/FB but he needed taking out of first grade at least 12 games ago).
So, no surprises that we eventually get battered via the centre/3rd man in channels.
Re. forwards. I don't understand why Channing came on at right centre and Lovell got moved to left second-row when Gower left the pitch. Surely - surely - the sensible move would have been Bolger on and not Channing. Don't think Bolger got any game time. And I don't understand the (under-)use of Krasniqi. The kid comes on and makes a line break with his first carry and then hits the ball up a couple more times; about 8 minutes on and then off, not to reappear. He looked devastated when hauled off. The kid is a coach's dream. Runs hard, PTB quickly, mobile, aggressive defender. If I could be d, I'd pull up his stats and compare them with Bryant and Wheeldon - he makes more metres per carry and is a better defender than both. I don't get it.
EDIT: Haha. Just realised Bolger was 18th man.  Still Bolger on the bench before Channing would have made more sense.

Makes 2 of us that don't get it!
we had Leeds pinned down in their half for about the first 15-20 mins of the 2nd half, any other team would have got 2 or 3 scores in that time and got back on terms! But not us! We only score after Leeds gave us a gift with the pass to the invisible man that gave Dixon his try!Left at 12-40 , had seen enough but it became 12-44 while making a quick trip to the Gents on the way out and by the time we'd got out of the Stoop heard the cheers which must have meant another try! And yet we couldn't find a way through in spite of all that possesion / field position!

| GF I asked you not to spout attendence figures because you are like a terrier with a bone. I may be wrong but I think it is the first time I have mentioned this to you. There is no getting away from it you go on and on and on about them. We all know how bad they are , we sit there looking around and wish it were different and we dont need you reminding us. You have some ideas which are really good and you talk a lot of sense at times but to me the constant attendence rally is boring - that's my opinion and we are each allowed an opinion as long as it is not hurtful or snide. However I am at a place where because I am bored of atendence figures I will skip them and I could possibly miss some of the good things you say.
p.s. You didnt answer my questions
