I've obviously woken up in a parallel universe, one where a 10 point win against a team that had 80 put past them in their last game is celebrated as if we'd won the WCC.
we're still 8 points behind the top of SL and we still have an idiot as coach

You're certainly reading an different board to this one if you've managed to get that impression. |

I don't many people are under the illusion that yesterday was a first class display.....
However,from a small acorn groweth a mighty oak......maybe any improvements will be incremental with FC rather than sudden.
Got to back it up on Friday though.I think there's a fear-factor with the players at the KC but hopefully yesterday will ease the pressure from the fans... |

Just a few questions (which although may come across as negative are genuine questions I hope they can answer).
Take away the last 15 minutes of the game , was you happy with the performance ? Quote
Not really, pretty much the usual for 60 mins of the game.
Quote Was Harlequins anything special ? '"
I would say Quins tend to do the basics right and have some decent support play. Nothing spectacular about them though.
Quote More importantly how was the basics, kick and chase ? '"
Kicking was awful for the majority of the game, chase was ok. The kicking especially in the first consistently went straight to a defender and we may as well just have booted the ball dead and got set up for a 20m restart.
Quote Was the defense as bad as being reported i:e Karl Pryce beating four defenders ?'"
Some flashes of individual brilliance but overall a poor showing, even the usually safe Fitz was falling off some tackles. Pryce did beat 4 or 5 defenders.
Quote Seeing todays game do you think we have turned the corner ?'"
Impossible to say, The comeback was special and skews peoples opinion of the game overall. I personally don't think we have turned a corner, however if they can take that last 10 minutes and play like that for 80 then we may well have done.
Quote The reason I want to know is because all the club are plugging is the comeback and very little insight to how the game actually went.'" '" '"
The club will always do that, you will probably get a better insight into the game from the Daily Wail report tonight. |

So Mr B obviously knew what he was doing then like all of us blokes do when we do things like this?  |

So to put things bluntly, if we play like we did for the last quarter of the game we will win more then we will lose.
If we play like the first 60, then its business as usual ?
I really hope the comeback can give the side and the coaching set up a kick up the to really kick on make changes for the better and finally start to play some rugby.

I think the celebrations at the end was because your players had got out of jail becuase we had stopped playing thinking we'd won and after the previous victories when we had played well in defence we just didn't on Sunday.
If you play like you did yesterday then Friday against Cas is a forgone away victory.
Keep the faith..................................

Excellent footage.
At 65 minutes we were sitting there with our now customary folded arms and glum faces. I said to my friend "they've got 15 minutes to save Agar's job" not thinking for a second it was on.
From what we saw from those last 4 tries, the celebrations of the players and their reactions at the end when they came over to meet the fans I think we can safely say Agar still has the support of his players whatever we fans may choose to believe. Fitz, Radford and O'Meley were completely borne out in what they've been claiming in the media. I thought one of Fitz's head veins was going to pop he was that radged up.
If they believe in him that much they are going to have to perform like that last ten minutes in every match for most of the time. The first lacklustre performance and we'll be back to square one. Can they? I still think Agar's reached his limit and this will prolong the inevitable a bit longer. Hope I'm wrong and the players prove me so. |

What i can't get to grips with is if Agar is such a wonderful coach and tactician why after we review a game the same shortfalls are highlighted:
No kicking game
Chase average at best
Lack of angled and dumy runners
One out rugby
Slow play the ball....etc, etc
and to add for the large part of the game (according to those that went) the team look clueless - concerning considering us needed a big performance!
After three years at the helm surely someone at board level must be thinking is Agar up to the job!

who's faults that? agars?
never want my team to lose no matter how useless agar is, credit where its due, switching horne back to 6, whiting to fb and obst to hooker worked for us, how many times are we having a go at our own players for conceding daft penalties and they end up costing us games?
one swallow doesn't make a summer, but its a start, carry on from the last 15 minutes on friday against cas, we will have a great chance of winning |

I, and almost everyone around me behind the sticks (from what I could hear anyway) where far from satisfied for most of the game. Quins where not/are not anything special, they've had some cracking results early season but will die off I'm sure. Hull where for the most part disappointing, having said that the last 20 was pretty special.
As for turning the corner, I thought we'd maybe turned it with the performance away at Wigan and then there was Wakefield  ......
I think Agar is spot on with what he said. We have the talent, it is the consistency we don't have.
Wish I could get to the Cas game, it has the potential to be a hum dinger..... |
