I'm almost always an optimist and I can't defend this.

Tom Willis has been fantastic, elsewhere, awful.

[Covkid40]

Same old same old. The scary thing is Bristol aren’t any good

[Jack9909]

Worst performance under Blackett...so far. Time for change.

[Covkid40]

Can’t wait to hear Lee’s assessment of this garbage. We are disjointed and lacking any idea, poor in all aspects of the game in terms of execution and intensity

[Rossm]

16 handling errors so far. It feels like more.

Felt like more to me too .....lots more

[JonnyD]

That was awful.

Barbeary was totally ineffective and you can see that as soon as Tom Willis was given more responsibility we looked good and made metres.

This week Porter was playing well and Dobby didn’t add anything.
Spink should have come off for Mills and not Odendaal and not sure why Crossdale got taken off either unless he had a knock.

Embarrassing at home really, Bristol were not a threat at all, 18 handling errors, most leading to turnovers and lost territory, just not good enough

[BlackAndGoldSunglasses]

That was dreadful.

Own worst enemies, and as someone else said, Bristol weren't even good.

[wycombewasp]

thats just cost me £5 to be come depressed, I could have watched the tv news for the same result.

[Rossm]

Sam Spink isn't there yet. Shouldn't start next game. Why do we drop the ball so much. Can't even blame the weather.

[Westy68]

Well I really don’t know what to say about that awful performance. I wasn’t happy with the selection before the game and we looked all over place, no game plan the same old running into a set defensive line, pathetic

Lee is starting to be a big problem as we do have a lot of good players, especially the Willis brothers who are unlikely to hang around playing this rubbish. We are a poorly coached team making stupid selection mistakes, so so bad today

Yep a few too many errors today, think it could well be Mills and Odendaal in the centres next week.
Odogwu possibly in line for some gametime outside Hartley on Tuesday?

[NellyWellyWaspy]

Just logged in, working in my garage, totally missed the game. Did I miss all the exciting and brilliant play by Wasps? Did we cut our all the dropped balls, silly plays, and all the penalties?

I think we did cut out the penalties, even won some at scrum time when Hislop was on.
This was mainly because we weren’t actually really under any pressure at any stage to give them away. We just knocked on every time we had the ball and gave it back to them. They were just not as bad as we were

[wasps]

I've defended Blackett last season, and suggested that he's now had a transfer window in which to make the improvements he required.
Therefore this season is when we should be seeing some improvements.


We're not yet.
I'm not ready to give up, and I'm willing to give him more time in case this is really season blues.... But it doesn't feel any better than last season yet.




If he's not able to improve things after bringing in numerous new players, then how are we supposed to expect him to be able to improve things farther down the line

[Vespula Vulgaris]

It's not about bringing in good players. We already have good players, have had from the day Lee took over.

The only success we've had under him was when he openly admitted his "coaching" was telling them to play their own game.

The coach's job is to take professional players and make them into a team. It'd be really nice if they tried that for a change.
