Was the performance as bad as the score would suggest?

Worries me that Sale beat Castre away shows how the’ve Progressed, i know and expect the transformation under Gussy will not be instant but still feel disappointed we’re so far off the pace.  Even putting 50 on Ealing will to mean its fixed.

Well, I was hoping that playing a club that contained half the Scotland team (well not half but you know what I mean) would explain our poor performance. Then I read that Glasgow were missing/not playing some 20 internationals.

I think maybe I was too optimistic thinking Gustard was going to come in and have an instant effect. That looked like any game from the second half of last season. The opposition wanted it more than we did and we just watched them get on with it.

Uuuuuuuurrrrggghhhhhhh!

Seems like it may well take some time to fix the club.

This has gone on for more than a couple of years now, but there has obviously been something deeply wrong with the culture at the club from top to bottom. The signs have all been there - the poor discipline, poor defence, lack of appetite when compared to others. We haven’t changed the playing personnel that much and some of those players have been at the club their whole career. Change will be hard.

I’m not panicking after 1 poor pre-season result, but our form in the second half of last season was that of relegation fodder and we have no momentum going into the new season.

Am slowly adjusting my expectations and hoping this year just not to get relegated as long as we see progress in attitude and more fundamental changes in the squad to build for the future.

Sale did bear Castres but picked up 2 red cards in the process, one for everybody's hero, Ashton.

It's also really important, to put pre-season into perspective... Treviso beat Leicester and Newcastle beat Leinster. Scarlets also beat Bristol (with all of their stars; Smith, Madigan, Leiua, Lam, Afoa, Luatua, Pisi, Stirzaker, Thacker)

I don't expect players to be in the same frame of mind for a pre-season game and when you tweak a few small things at elite level, you can get very big changes.

Not worried in the slightest and looking forward to the Ealing game and Sale on the 1st! :D

I feel the same. Even as someone who regularly watches the Pro12, there were a good chunk of the Glasgow players I’d never heard of. Even if we didn’t have the bulk of our England players, almost every player that featured for us has a realistic chance of making our match-day 23, so it’s more than a little concerning.

Obviously Gustard needs time, but that result has really undermined the optimistic feeling coming from pre-season.

Without a very quick improvement, Sale could rip us apart in round 1.  :-\

Even more worrying that they did it with 13 players then.  Yeah I get its only pre season but still think that losing by such a margin is worrying, but it will be interesting to see the result on Friday.

I expect any top class coach to have an impact on morale and attitude straight away.His best chance of doing that is at the beginning not months down the track.All the more given that the flatness of the culture around JK.Gustard is directly responsible for defence.What does 50 against say in game 2?His recent record with England is poor.This is a disappointing start but of course very early days and a win v Sale will restore hope.A loss won’t

At last, the voice of reason. It's pre-season. People are already leaping on the team after a game that has no bearing on the season.

That’s the way! Positive logic. Bravo! Preseason is for learning if anything else after all!
