Match Thread

I said in one of the other threads that I thought Tom was better than Alfie at 8 because of his ability to hold on to the ball while fending off defenders. Alfie lost it twice, admittedly he’s done a lot of caries.

Spink has made some mistakes, I wonder if he’s getting ahead of himself? He’s got lots of talent but maybe needs a couple of rest weeks.

All round a bit of when they’re good they’re good, when they’re not good it’s utter rubbish.

Spink keeps offering himself on that hard flat line much like the one against Gloucs last week, a very difficult one but at least he keeps offering and not hiding as it hasn't gone to plan so far

Fair point.

Hislop too weak in the scrum. Time for Tom West? Particularly if Sink, with a dicky neck, stays on.

We're a long way from what we thought we'd be in the forwards with all the new signings.


However, we have to accept that Hislop is 4th choice, and you're not going to be dominant with your 4th choice prop

[Chunky24]

Dickson doesn't seem quite right.

Even he doesn't seem convinced by himself, especially that last one in the second half!

Ref mic come on for 2nd half might learnt a bit more from him now.

We struggle to shift mindset quickly when our attack suddenly turns to defence.

Hold onto the bloody ball, what a shocking kick. Spink not having his best game

[hopwood]

Would like to see someone like Carr come on to replace Alfie.

[Rossm]

We're in the shit now.

8-20

Not looking good.

Alfie is not an 8. Please change.

I thought I saw a couple of forward passes for that last try.

TMO checked, he was happy

Listening on the radio and it sounds dire, knock on, drop the ball, lose the ball etc. Have we still got a 'skills coach'??

Lots of huff and puff but lose all the game changing pressure points in the red zone in defence and attack. A long season ahead..

[Westy68]

Absolutely pathetic how many times do we need to drop the ball. Seriously how can you not hold onto the ball. Hold onto the bloody ball

[Bloke in North Dorset]

16 handling errors so far. It feels like more.

[Neils]

This is bad because Bristol are not good.
