    Perhaps in the minority but I thought we were really impressive today. Admittedly it wasn’t our best day going forwards but we were so organised as a team. The most organised we’ve looked all season and I think you can really see the togetherness and mentality is growing too. I thought both McCart and Mael were excellent, the former probably just about having the better game of the two but there’s no doubt in my mind who will go on to have the better career. We’ve found another diamond i think.

    The players clearly back Collins 100%. If we can just get it right now at home we’ll go up automatically.

    I think you are apathetic because it isn’t 1995 anymore.

    ,
    Tbh mate. There are a couple at least who I'd put in the haters bracket. Eg Hecky may have folk that want shut and fit your description.
    Collins has been in the job a dozen + or so games. Sitting 3rd and still want shut. Comparing him to the likes of Schopp, Asbaghi and Morais. Or even worse than those 3. Bizzare at this stage of the game.

    why are people on here using a victory to have a pop at fellow fans?

    pack in all this point scoring fellas

    Im sure most folk who have had doubts about collins and the team want to be proved wrong

    Like I think watters is nowhere near good enough- but if he scores an hattrick im not gonna be sat here fuming!

    Think the up and down performances are more to do with the team not being settled yet, Given time we will probably be top 3 with the side playing currently, given Connell and Lopata we could win league but once they're fit it means changing the team again. Maybe a nice problem to have and am sure the Boss is getting an idea of who his best 11 will be...COYR

    Ever heard the terms reap what you sow.
    If prepared to dish it out. Be prepared to have it back.
    Sad but inevitable.

    Was on the ale at a mates’ house watching the rugby so haven’t posted about the game.

    I said on Tuesday that the Exeter game would be a stronger test and be more indicative of where we are.

    For me we huffed and puffed, looked a little unconvincing in terms of being likely to win. But we also looked a bit more organised, and a few frantic moments aside a little better at the back.

    Still unconvinced that we have a style and/or method, but becoming more solid will be a start.

    We really need to start winning a few at home to turn the views of everyone; but to be third in the league when to be honest we’ve been pretty crap says a heck of a lot.

    Hope they got home alright as well, and that Wilfreda Beehive have good insurance….
