No one thinks the side is not putting in the effort, that is not the problem. There is a lack of craft, size, speed and strength, oh and a complete lack of direction. We are by degrees morphing into an average Championship side, if we meet a good Championship side in the CC this side would not beat them.
I think over time Brian has removed the skill factor from the team and possibly believes that defence can win games. Sadly you have to do more than defend.
As the score suggests we were useless today(I'm not feeling as bad as I did after the Cas game at the Stoop last year) The team we had out was the second string against a very strong Wire side who got more confident as the game went on.
On the plus O'C was steady at the back.
Sharpy was skinned by Reilly & the pack smashed by a big set of forwards.
All in all a bad day-Next week we will have LMS, Ward, Bishop back and hopefully Temata.
