Will get battered by Falcons at this rate. Just why.

Sorry but losing to that sack of poop Gloucester team is embarrassing at home

Genuinely amazed at why we took off our best back in Kata

He was injured. At one point we were going for an attacking lineout and he was down in backfield.

First up tackling was cack. Can't fall off tackles and expect to win games. We failed miserably to get at the Glaws breakdown. Attack was actually improved and had Pollard not pulled out late on with illness then maybe we could have been a bit more clinical.

Mercer getting man of the match is lazy from Oz. He had a couple of nice steps but hid out wide as he was pants in contact. The Glaws hooker Blake was outstanding and broke tackles that led to two Glaws tries. No wonder he was in the England A squad, looks like one who could end up in international reckoning.

Carley got the result he was after, at least

Is this game going to be filed in the extremely crowded 'late defeat' drawer?

No! Shhh

Yes.
Always yes.
Practically every time.

Sadly so.. massively missed Pollards kicking tonight

[nicmattyg]

Playoffs gone. DMK needs to go, this is abysmal.

Personally not 100% sure but they aren’t good enough at all

I think Jury is very much out at the moment

I also think a lot of the senior players aren’t leading enough

Agreed regards senior players.

Lenny should retire, he’s well past it.

Hanro is a shadow of the player he was a few seasons ago

Not sure pollard is the answer either, he’s been poor recently.

Maybe an issue with the coaching set up?

Sorry, not sure which pollard people have been watching lately but the last few games he’s played he’s been terrible?

[DeadlyDunc]

Left ourselves too much to do from a lethargic 1st half

I have no idea how many tackles Kelly dropped off or missed through the game - it was at least half a dozen.

Behave. Glaws are a solid mid table side that might sneak playoffs with some luck. They've had no luck and a lot of players injured for most of the season. Now they are getting them back they'll be dangerous. Falcons on the other hand are easily the worst team in the league, Steve Diamond might bring some backbone and save an embarrassing season but we should have far to much for them.

Games like this is where you want your big players stepping up, and none did. Mercer completely outplayed Wiese. Liebenberg needs a rest - which is odd when you’ve got Rogerson at the club. Montoya and Reffell anonymous at the breakdown. Youngs kicking the ball out on the full and Steward looked slow and lethargic. Needs a Mike Brown sprint coach. No wonder Furbank got picked.

Bassett I thought did play well tbf and OHC put in some important covering tackles. Kata is always class but thank god we’ve got Perese coming in for next season.

[DaveRave]

Go 5 ahead with 5 minutes to play. Still lose.
Rubbish.

[RagingBull]

Wells and Hanro was anonymous for a second week imo
Montoya and Wiese very rusty
Cole and Reffell looked tired
Ben Youngs poor
Shillcock isn't a 2nd choice 10.
Cokanasiga doesn't suit us and if I want a project 12 I would rather focus on Woodward

[Pellsey]

Yes.
Always yes.

Disagree. He played quite well last week. A couple of months ago, I would have agreed with you.

Losing Borthwick, Sinfield and Walters is a massive chunk out of the team.. will take time to replace that

I thought in attack Steward looked decent.

After the stupid override of his TMO early doors I thought he was good actually. Certainly helped us out by not carding OHC when he probably deserved it. Communicated well with the players.
