This is reminding me of Dai Youngs tenure, not able to get the team going or game plan when we should clearly be favorites.

This is nearly our first choice team playing against, at best, Exeter's 3rd team.

Did we train as a team this week.

If we can't beat Exeter today then I'm sorry we are in for a very disappointing season
We’re not clearly favourites. We’re away at Exeter. They haven’t fielded a bunch of mugs and include loads of players with huge prem experience.

I fancy it may be a game too far for Brad and Elliot. Finally look like they've run out of energy. I'd bring on some fresh legs at HT.

I think that’s an overreaction.
Wasps have been excellent over recent weeks with a depleted squad.
Some players have come back and gone straight in to the side.
It takes 2-3 games to get up to speed and gain fitness and confidence in your injuries.

We’ve got experienced players who are not yet up to speed.
Even Alfie lacks that dynamic go-forward.

Love to see a comeback.
But we might have to bite the bullet with a series of players making their comebacks, and other players being overplayed recently.

Let’s see if we can get some inertia.

Exeter are playing about 5 first team players we are playing about 13, if we can't beat that team with the team we have out, then I can't see who we will be able to beat

This could get embarrassing. Almost as strong a team as we could possibly put out and it’s awful

Saracens? Toulouse? Leicester?

Commentators curse: He was praising our lineout to the hilt at the start, its fallen apart since.

Exactly right when all those teams had a lot of missing players

So what the hell is the problem now

Alfie has a lot to learn at 8, he really doesn't look comfortable with the ball at his feet.
