Pace of team and more points only changed when smith came on again.

Are you really improving or have you just played three of the worst teams in the league?

I think you'll find we're the worst team in the league, we'd find a way to lose to ourselves at the minute

We haven’t had much from the refs for weeks, but it’s hard to scrutinise the refs when we’re playing so poorly ourselves.

We had one pen vs Cas all game for crossing, too. Think we have at least 6 away?

We've improved in that there is a little more energy and commitment about them in recent weeks (the London game excepted!!). They have at least looked interested over these past few games, looking like it means something to them rather than some of the passive displays we were witnessing earlier.

But this still doesn't eradicate the fact that this is a poorly-recruited, badly-coached team who have had virtually every ounce of confidence knocked out of them by a horrendous run of defeats. I said earlier in this thread that this team have now simply forgotten how to win and are expecting to lose even when they dig in and give it a go. Confidence, especially in a sporting environment, is an elusive quality, and unfortunately it disappeared down the plug-hole for us at the back end of last season.

Maybe if we can scramble a win from somewhere, the situation may alter a touch, but until that happens we have no idea of knowing. The upcoming fixtures don't look too appetising from our perspective so we may not find out on this score!
We have improved in recent weeks (marginally) even if it's just in the area of attitude, but that improvement is set against a very low bar! I'm still fearful of what may happen when we meet the better sides in the league, think we may still have a couple more hammerings to endure before the year is finally done with.

If/when we get a win, it will do us the world of good confidence wise.
