yes he did

Have read the first 2 pages and yet again it's an agar slag fest.....YAWN

I actually thought you were having a go at how he talks (it is common on here) so apologies for that. However I think some of the favouritism from the 14th man had a lot to do with the result today rather than any ill discipline.
Having seen us play many times before today was a 100% step up and I think the coach is doing what coaches do and instead of blaming the players he is trying deflect criticism away from them.

You lot deserve better than him. How he is in a job still is beyond me. Is it just your owners trying to do things on the cheap or do you think there is more to it?

Regardless of what I hoped and expected from today, the facts are we were 12-8 up with 10 minutes to go and they'd just had Joel Tomkins sent off, yet managed to ball watch and give away stupid penalties and dropped ball, snatching defeat from victory.

Most people would love Noble or Brown as our coach.

The same Brown who ranted on about he would tell his players to fight with opposing teams as the refs were not protecting his players.

The same Noble who went ballistic on the touchline at Hull, kicked off in the tunnel and ranted in his aftermatch press conference.

Coaches do this all the time. We really don't need you coming on here trying to patronise us thanks.

He kind of infers it by asking the question. It was not a pop at Robbo but more at this type of attitude that seems to be constant around here - find a way to not give Agar any credit and blame him for everything.

No worries. I think you could be correct in saying he his deflecting the criticism which obviously he has every right to do - It just seems like maybe he should have had a few minutes to think about the game as a whole, before having a rant about some parts of the game. Of course, sometimes that isn't possible when someone shoves a mic in your face.

If you play like that every week though, you'll win more than you'll lose - We scraped it in the end.

But isn't today a good example of the other side of the coin? Us losing and people saying it was down to the players and not Agar...

Did you miss the ???????? or something?

I didn't give an opinion I was asking others for their opinion. Shall I give mine so you get the chance to be precious about it?

Has the basic way in which the team plays ie dummy runners, second phase attack, backing up, tackle technique etc etc etc changed?

If we played to the same structures and patterns but just performed them to a much higher standard and intensity then nothing has really changed has it?

If someone doesn't like the way Agar's team plays rugby then a high intensity performance playing in the same way means nothing to that person. It doesn't mean they dont appreciate the efforts of the players or dont feel proud to be an FC supporter at the moment in time.

If anything, someone complaining about Agar one week and then defending him the week after because the players gave a lot of effort is a hypocrite IMO.

That's my point, we play better and it's nothing to do with Agar.

Stealth patronisation.

At the end of the day when you are ahead and they get a player sent off and then LOSE is really poor tbh.

But I dont blame Agar for this...the players should take a hard look at themselves some of them just dont have the winning mentality or to keep cool under pressure.
