Can we finish 4th?

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry in relation to this topic

When in doubt I cry with laughter. Covers both bases.

If we sort our defence out and cut out the penalties, we will start winning our home games. Then we will be there or thereabouts for top 4...

Get defence and discipline right and things should look better....looking forward to todays game!

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday I’m sure many turned up at WR fearing this might be the start of a protracted and painful battle to avoid relegation. Now we are digesting this afternoon’s results...and after a disorienting month of looking down the league table, normal service is resumed and I’m looking upwards to see we are 1 point off 4th place!

We have the squad quality to make it to 3rd...but the lack of consistency could see us end up perhaps as low as 9th. However, as someone who generally tries to avoid falling into the extremes of Corporal Jones and Private Fraser, I wouldn’t be prepared to speculate with any more precision than this.

Thoughts anyone?

Ask me after next week's game

[voice of the crumbie]

We are one point off fourth at the moment so if we can sustain the performance level of yesterday, improve the defence, stop giving away stupid penalties and sort out our attacking line out then yes we can.

I'm just taking it one game at a time, can't see Wuss getting anything at Sarries but a Newcastle win at Bristol and we get nothing at Bath then it's all up in the air again! Its that close that no one is safe yet. If Wasps lose at Quin's,which I think they will,they could be pulled in. They were awful today!

I agree. Thrilled to be witness to a good win yesterday at Welford Road but no point looking beyond the next game and Bath is a team on the up.
The Six Nations will be a good period for Newcastle, Worcester, Bristol and Gloucester as they will have very few if any players missing.
One game at a time and we had more injury woes yesterday.
Thomson out again along with Spencer is a huge loss for us.
