I wouldn't rush to conclusions either way at this stage, it's a long way to OT yet. But for what it's worth I reckon you are emerging as a really good side after the massive rebuild you've had to do. You have a lot of young talent that should continue to improve with experience. For mine your last 3 games have been a wobble but still defo top 5 probably top 3.

Our best and probably only 'starting' prop injured again. Walsh's elbow cant be right either.

I'd be surprised if either play against London (which will do nothing but add flames to the fire rumours wise) - but we do seem ... Very injured so far

I'm not sure he knows what he is watching: ".......then the speed of McGuire" and "We made a few bad reads and they punished us for it".

Still, things can only get better, can't it ?

They're disappointing comments for me. No recognition that we made mistakes, or that we have to be better.

Hopefully, we have a few weeks to quietly rebuild and go about our business during the mid season .... Only 1 focus now.

I hope he doesnt really believe what he's saying and that it's just a show for the press. We simply do not look good and havent now for a number of weeks. Lack of fire and agression is not something that is excusable, especially the forwards, neither are the basic errors we come up with every week in both attack and defence. We show flashes of what we are capable of but flashes don't win big matches.

Ref has been the difference. The ball doesn't touch Jones and Makinson was clearly tackled there. No penalties at all against Leeds in a whole half despite several utterly blatant ones including the offside against Hall where he shot out to stop an overlap. He hadn't even gone back.

if hehadnt even gone back then how could he of shot out....about time he was fair in reffing saints games instead of pulling the other team up

He's probably bored of saying the usual stuff he's been saying. He's usually spot on with his post match comments.

I can understand why he picked the players that he suggested wasn't playing to their ability today as it was a one off cup game with no second chance but if he's a man of his word then certain players should not be picked anytime soon.
