Good coaching !

Do you always sit at your keyboard, with a plastic tiara on your head?

It's always easy to blame the coach

See seb and gary are having a field day on here, two of the worst trolls around, get a life lads

Agree with a few of the posters who said we didnt lack effort. We just played dumb rugby. Suppose not suprising with 2 forwards playing in the halfs. What we did lack in direction we also lacked in leadership - there wasnt any! The only person berating their teamates was radders when we were stood under the sticks! Think we miss captain Lynch more than many realise. Some simple basics are seriously letting us down. Defensive intensity and line speed only come in rare patches. PTB far too slow and passing is pedestrian. No backing up and taking the ball standing still is commonplace. Come on Mr G. get it sorted, its basic stuff that can be addressed fairly quickly surely!

His all was good enough, in fact was laughable when we were attack their line for around 6-7 sets and he continuously kept passing to the edge which obviously wasn't working. I rate Houghton, his work ethic is outstanding and think he will go far in the game, but his vision when were attacking at times today was poor.

Lets not get all knee jerky.....


.....wait until agars troops dismantle us on Monday then were good to go!

Ellis is the captain, houghton is vice captain, with ellis out, houghton should step up but he doesnt, he doesnt communicate well imo

why gentle took the captaincy off lynch when he had done nothing wrong is a complete mystery!

Not that mysterious. It will have been a commercial decision.

Ellis yes but Houghton ? .

Take a look at the poor guys interview on sky, itll change your opinion. We have been stupidly unlucky with injuries.... again (injuries in vital positions)
