Look at the good, Our Defense was insane then their first try was because of a Ulster man knocked the ball out of Murlys hands, Goneva did a amazing pick up of a bad pass and would of been away but we get called back the knock on that never was and then they score, 14 point swing there.
Small moment like that are enough to swing a game,
After going behind and chasing we made a lot of mistakes, which is to be expected.
I’m amazed the only time the ref wanted to check a anything was when we scored a try but there you go.
So for me people weren’t expecting anything from that squad which held out for 31 mins then had a bad call against them and 2 HiAs which would ruin most squads, so hope we go strong against wasps next weekend and show the premier is where our focus is.

1/2 Players played well...shame that’s not the team or even the bulk of it
Ref was crap blah blah.

Same old Quins, whatever the year. Utter shite and zero ambition.

Shocking ref. True. Appalling attack from Quins. Bunches in attack, dropped balls and passes too high to take with any momentum. Ultimately the buck stops with Gussy but I can see a team who aren’t being coached and drilled effectively and as much of a fan of his as a player I was, Nick Evans is in the wrong role. He is too FH focused and we need a fresh set of eyes.

We have good players but also those who need to shape up or ship out. Chisholm was dire tonight, he has been too often.

Ross Chisholm It must be played?
We did the first attack action after 31 minutes
Martin Landajo,Brett Herron,Ross Chisholm ,Paul Lasike,Travis Ismaiel,Santiago Garcia Botta, can also leave them at home.
For me, the very problem, is the coach,he is not capable of managing the team
Maybe he's preparing the team to play the shield cup.
Kunatani best player,he was everywhere.
For all the rest imbarrassing team

      We lost because of the referee? How much beer you've been drinking?

Bad team selection. Too many journeyman. Poor kicking poor tactics. Utterly dismal. Coach Gustard needs to explain his awful team selections, too much chopping and changing and it shows. Get rid

Think the club will struggle to sell tickets for the Clermont game

What's wrong with acknowledging how well Kunatani played? Or Lewies? Or Lang? Or do you think they played badly?

Poor old Dombrandt was so peed off. The wider squad is definitely a concern. The HIAs didn't help the prospective players show their stuff but it seemed a pretty slim hope anyway.

On the plus side: Lewies is becoming pretty  terrific. Kuanatani played well and Lang is playing well in his preferred role of centre. He was good at FH too.

But.....We had very little magic or inspiration. I hope Geneva and Ishmael can provide some but am worried about them being in ahead of Gabs and Murley.

And while the ref did not cost us the game, he was shocking. I don't usually criticise rugby refs as they are usually pretty competent. That was a terrible display.

We do seem to be the world experts at throwing momentum away and turning promising positions for ourselves into easy outs or chances for the opposition. That missed chance where Chis couldn’t finish and we contrived to give away a penalty just summed the evening up for me.

Last night was particularly irritating. The selection for a home game felt like the fans were having the pee wee taken a bit and the basic errors count remained high.

As other mentioned we had some very good performances in there, Lewies is looking stronger each game, Kunatani was everywhere too and Elia was his normal industrious self. The 2 HIA’s came at a bad time. The ref was absolutely atrocious, I mean abysmal all round.

I just don’t feel like there’s much direction is anything we do at the moment. It could be the result of the rotation but there’s no momentum being gained and the difference between the good performers in a game and the bad performers was illustrated starkly last night. Drove back an hour and a half in the rain last night on the M25 and for the first time since the 2nd half of 17/18 really wondered why I was bothering.

Rightly or wrongly, I am sure that Gustard had an eye on (1) the next two Premiership fixtures (Wasps away, which is very winnable, and Tigers at HQ which has to be won well for marketing reasons) and (2) the unlikeliness of progressing in Europe. So it was pragmatic, he just didn't get away with the selection for more than 38 minutes. In fairness, he can't select everyone who is the first choice every week or even every home game. That is not a problem. The problem is that, yet again, we have too many players who are not quite up to playing at this level, for various reasons. There is only so much that Gustard can do about that except recruit better, but then again, it has to be within budget.

They say it takes 2-3 years to get you squad right. Some of JK’s signings have done well for us in what would have been his 3rd year of recruitment. Taps, Earle, Symons, Elia, Dombrandt, all good. Also they say it takes over a year until players fit into system - so lots of changes is not going to bring immediate success. I think if we make top 4 in league would be a good year.

I see Ulster have banned a "fan" as a result of complaints from other supporters about their behaviour at the Ulster v Quins match. We always enjoy rugby chats and a bit of banter and have always had good craic with opposing fans in the bar before and after matches. But when it goes too far and becomes abusive, this is the only solution.

Honestly, I think "they" talk a load of disingenuous nonsense designed to deflect criticism after failure. 2-3 years is a ridiculous amount of time in sport.
