It's because we don't like to talk up how well Wasps are playing (we don't like to be boastful), so far ahead at #1 position in the table, scoring loads of tries, through to the European quarters. We have a squad brimmed with quality and everything is just rosy. But it isn't rosy. So we pick at the growing scab, for want of anything else to do.
We speculate as to what has changed, what has gone wrong, what more is going to go wrong, how to fix it.
After each match we hear the same talk from Dai. What went wrong (often the same thing; penalties, coughing the ball up, missed tackles) and he finishes off with a rallying call that we will get better.
Better how? Fitter? I doubt that fitness is the issue. New 'plays'? No sign of them.
No mention of playing smarter, having the leadership to adapt quickly on the field and being supported in that by the coaches. Maybe we are doing just that, but there are no outward SIGNS of sufficient progress. And we cannot help but wonder why? Most of us are old fogeys here (well, I speak for myself in that) and we have experienced poor management first hand. Not in rugby, but in work. The tell-tale signs are there. Staff turnover will be high, performance will be poor, morale, as measured by rumours of disquiet (not at wasps, but in any organisation) will be heard in whispers, friend to friend. So, when the signs are there, we look upwards, but that might not be the issue
