Today's game thread v Bath (Away)

[Maidman]

We counted at least five missed tackles. Not sure Tait is having a good game, I'd rather see Scully or Morris at full back.

[TigerLad]

Put the youngsters on and remember this game and use it as motivation for the return game. Get some photos of these smug Bath fans. Forget the score line now. Just smash them and try and gain some pride back

[Jimmy Skitz]

the drop off from Manu to Smith was huge today really would have thought about moving Tait there and getting Smith on the wing he was abject it 13

[amazing tiger]

terrible defence and quite frankly i dont think balmain and crane are up to it. its just getting embarrasing. why is our defence so bad without allen

[TigerLad]

Balmain really needs to improve his scrummaging. He's been second best in the last 2 games by some distance .

[Jimmy Skitz]

when is Ayerza back?

when is Ayerza back?

Mid Oct earliest

[cpwhelan]

Except Morris, universally woeful. What worries me is the impact this will have on team confidence - we may have large quantity of players but it is obviously the quality of replacements where we are being exposed.

might be time when his contract is up to let him go and get someone that'll be here all season then, we need Logo at Tighthead, especially with Cole injured

[baz1664]

Sounds like a shambles, the amount of injuries is bizarre, to lose your two first choice centres before kick off is criminal, where has Bai dissapeared to?? Also why sign an injured prop in Rizzo knowing that Ayeza and Cole would be missing for a large quantity of the season, surely a fit ready to hit the ground player would have been more worthwhile.

31-0 after 48 minutes is unacceptable, a serious rethink is required after today!!

[Tiger_in_Birmingham]

Bath get the bonus after hoofing it 60m and no Tigers player retreating leaving a 3 on 1 for Bath to wander in

[Maidman]

Sam Harrison is working hard.

But not enough to stop Bath getting their bonus point try. This could end up worse than the Quins Sarries game.

Head in hands, sobbing.

poor Freddie must be feeling like he is back at Gloucester

[Nailsworthstiger]

Just got to put this down to a really bad day at the office.

[murphy15]

An utter disgrace. Lack of fight and energy. That's the first time in my life I've stopped watching before the end. Awful.
