Look like a team that went to Exeter expecting to lose and worse still, not actually caring about it - and it hurts to type that last bit.
I'm not sure what's been going on in pre-season - apart from playing your intended starters for about one half of three matches - but I reckon whoever oversaw it should be made to stop, just stop. They're not capable.
A word I've never used about Tigers as far as I can remember - embarrassing. BIG names failing to produce - yet again.
OK, so Exeter played well, but they were allowed to play well, they didn't have to fight too hard for the most part. Our defence was often non-existent and our attack (was there one) was soooo predictable.
6th try just gone in for Exeter....it's the hope that kills you.
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

Please BoD - let's not wait until Christmas, throw MoC overboard now please.
Lol if you think the Board isn't part of the problem.
Also what game have people been watching? Spencer was 100% an enforcer trouble is he only got fully fit with 3 weeks of pre-season left, and has been rehabbing most of the summer.
God what a negative performance. Gid rid of O'Connor and Murphy. There is no imagination whatsoever, all the basics like handling , running onto the ball at speed, kicks from the base of the scrum, pathetic!
Ben Youngs kicked the ball back to Exeter so often I lost count and it's all down to coaching , to think we got rid of Cockerill for this lot. We have such talented players who are completely at a loss as to what to do, because their imaginations and improvisations have been squashed by coaches who haven't a clue!
