You deserve what you get, and we deserve to be sitting near the bottom of the table with little chance of making it to the top 6.
Today was an embarrassment. There is no point calling it anything else because that is exactly what it was. No team that loses to a team that has had 4 yellow cards to fight through, even if they are pushing top 4, deserve understanding or the chance to provide excuses. Sale were fantastic today, yes they lost their discipline, but they had heart and fight in bucket loads.
We have no confidence and lack brain power. Facing 13 men you do not take 3 points, you trust your processes, your systems, you play the game plan you trust, and you score tries and take the game away from The opposition. Instead we clearly demonstrated a lack of confidence and a lack of trust.
I will be frank here, I am angry! I am angry that our lads put in that performance today, I am angry that we made error after error after error. I am angry that out leaders did not take control when control was needed. But I am most angry that we have a squad far more capable than that and with the ability to play better. There is no greater failure than not playing to your potential or ability, yet we gave a great example of just this.
Season goals must now be adjusted. Give Claremont a crack next week, but a win on these performances is just fanciful, and unless we improve markedly it will be a heavy defeat. However top 6 even looks unlikely now, to actually get there would be a miracle.
They all have negative covid tests, perhaps tonight is about them all -players and coaches- going into the sports hall, ordering in take away and plenty of crates of beer, shuttling the door and have a long discussion to sort this, because another game like this should never happen again.
