I’m not sure what Burns has done wrong? I’m worried about Zach against their heavy back row. Their 12 to 14 are nippy and elusive, we need to not be giving them a lot of possession...

If we play with our usual 30% possession against that backline we won't get close to winning.

We beat them at the Ricoh with 34% possession!

Heavy rain that day and they didn't have Le Roux, De Jongh, Eastmond, Watson, Cipriani or Robson!

Hes hardly shined in a Bath jersey so far, personally I think he just needs some gametime from the bench.

Hasn't really had much of a chance to shine with RP's form, agree he needs to play more as a first choice pick rather than as a fill in for the 6N, if I were him I wouldn't be too pleased about the amount of game time.

When he has one good game for Bath, he can feel aggrieved at the amount of game time he's getting. Until then...
Quote:Define "these days" - baring in mind that he started last week, and has twice this season been on the bench without playing any part, and one of those was his first match for the club when he hadn't trained with us yet.BathMatt53

Like this one? Personally, in the games when an attacking 10 is needed, I would play him over RP.
He was concussed at the start of the season and has his ban but these days isn't even used as a sub? Is he really not worth even 25 mins against a tired opposition?

Quote:BertyWasp
And again!!!
We score a great try and then mess the lineout up, concede a scrum penalty, concede territory and can't protect the battering ram on our try line.
Come on boys!

Unless you are a very very recent convert to the BBW, may I suggest wrong thread, Bertie old boy?

Who exactly is Charlie Ewell?
Quote:sid the seagull
( I’d rather have 3 Elliot Stookes).
Quote:sid the seagull
A. Probs thoroughly lovely chap and all but can you imagine him changing a game?
Quote:Cips was brilliant, Eddie?
Quote:ballsout
[Ford and Farrell are brilliant, consistently. Cipriani has as many shockers as he has good days.
Quote:Boldangrey
We lost to a team that are above us in the Prem.
Just, we had beaten them away and now we were at home. The bookies had us by 2 points and we were nearly 20 down in as many minutes before the yellow card lifeline.
Before the match most people expected this and would have settled for a losing BP.
Nonsense! Especially if you told them that wasps would have 14 for 60 mins.
We also got a try BP.
At times we were dire but lost by 4 tries to 5. At times we were excellent (the pack). Zac Mercer is outstanding.
Even mercer can’t do much without the ball.
We are currently fifth and unlikely to be overtaken this w/e.
Other teams will pick up 4-5 points though.
No need for the Mess Webley yet!
Quote:BathMatt53)
It’s the performance that has depressed and the thought that unless the game plan changes pretty drastically we will be watching more of the same the next match, and the match after etc.[/quote
+1 So we just say to ourselves they are better than us & we cannot expect to beat them on our own turf. Some of us had hoped for better than that this season but it’s always the same.
