I'm all for criticising his work rate but he is allowed to have dinner with his with I'm sure.

Yes but did it involve him extending his stay in France because usually the team come home straight after the game, I would say match but it wasn’t.

100% surely they should all be back for a recovery session? If we even bother

Still don't see a problem. They aren't going to be in training straight after.

I'm certain it didn't make him any less fit.

Usually do recovery or a video session? Sure he doesn’t need his 4Th holiday of season

That’s okay only if he was not allowed to stay in France when the rest of the team came home. I would understand it if he actually stood out in a poor team but he doesn’t and if his fitness was beyond reproach which it isn’t. He has not done anything to allow for special treatment, unless you think otherwise.

Is it OK if the other players go out for dinner with their wives?
As long as he's there for next training there is nothing to be upset about.

I really don’t care they go out with other people’s wives and stop being obtuse because what I am saying is that providing he is not receiving special treatment then fine. If however he is then he has not done anything on the field to merit such treatment or do you think he does ?
I think it’s quite sweet that you believe we train because there is nothing to suggest in our performances to say we do.

Are you mad? This is a team (supposedly) travel there as a team, win/lose as a team, travel home as a team. No wonder there’s no respect for the coaching staff. This bloke has done absolutely nothing at all on the pitch yet his afforded luxuries others can only dream of. I have it on good authority the experienced more seasoned players get basically a free rein and never come under scrutiny in video sessions etc. the younger and so called lesser players are vilifies at every opportunity. What a great coaching method to demand respect and encourage galvanising the squad. A typical example this year Eddie Battye made one defensive error and was an absolutely hammered for it and dropped. During the same game our esteemed superstar made the exact same error 7 times in the game and not a word was said and he retained his place. Seems Atoni only never plays when he’s injured yet Eseh struggled to buy a starting spot early in the season. Take your blinkers off and wake up to the real (sporting) world. This is not how a club should be run. This is just a bunch of blokes together on a field it isn’t a team and whilever we continue with current coach that will never change. Far too much out of his depth and has lost all his credibility - not just because of the results but because of the things stated above and more.

Tbf I’ve heard that one of the younger 1st team players who has played first team this year got absolutely mullered for an hour off Applegarth in the changing rooms, where as like you say the more senior players get nothing. After watching the Catalan game and some of the defensive efforts we did, it’s clear to see we are still going backwards, absolute disgraceful attempts in defence.

Really? A young player....mullered by Applegarth....FOR AN HOUR
