Strange old game, both sides guilty of making plenty of errors as has been mentioned.Thought our defence was pretty strong for the majority of the game and despite their opening score we generally restricted Swinton in the early stages. Good scramble after Wellington was binned and staying alert right until the end is a good sign too.
Passed up some golden chances to make the scoreline more comfortable. The kind of situations I really wanted to see Raiwalui take control of, but I'm sure more cohesion will come. Another important two points in the bag and I'm not sure I'd be making too many changes for Donny.

Well done anyway. Pocket the two points and move on.

But thank you very much for your insightful reply to my post.

Insightful it was, considering the posts that followed underlined that we were error strewn, sloppy and lucky to get the points in a game when we were the better team.
Meanwhile, between 600 and 750 fans....wow, I bet the gold lounge was banging.....the move to Wimbledon failed last year and by the sounds of it, its only better this because they swapped stands. I remember when they swapped stands at the stoop, then names, then grounds and the divisions.....thanks again Dave!

Most important is the two points...

Strange old season this, outside of Fev everybody seems one the day to be able to beat anybody else. Key for London is keeping fit considering how small our squad is...

I see neither Cake nor Parata were that impressed with the referee. That will have NB frothing at the mouth no doubt.

Credit to Williams for some of his tackling, particularly the one in the last minute to stop a likely Swinton try.

Been impressed with Williams so far this season. He always carries strongly and direct and consistently finds his front. Not seen many errors from him either. Feels like he and to a certain extent Stock go under the radar each week.

Anyone else spot Danny Ward in the crowd yesterday?

Often see him at games.

Yup. Also, bizarrely, a look alike was knocking around as well in the style of Putin. All very confusing.
