The picture tells the story. Glous leave the field knowing a little more application in the right areas would have beaten the Tigers ..

It's a fact acknowledged by Nigel Davies who is on record as saying the 22-17 defeat was down to poor scrummaging and missed goal kicks.

Both Freddie Burns and Rob Cook missed two penalty kicks each while Toby Flood managed 17 points with this three kicks in the final quarter the decisive factor.

Davies was happy with our play in the loose but says that if you don't get the set peices right you will not win too many  games.

The scrum was the big weakness leading to most of Tigers' points including their try with tries from Burns and Jonny May scant consolation foir home suipporters.

Sorry. I'm getting tired of people say they know what the problem is and yet we don't see any improvement in putting it right.
There is no doubt we have some top class performers but when it comes to putting a team on the park which can win games we fall short most weeks.
Fortunately for us Warriors are really struggling otherwise the situation would be dire.
Time for change I'm afraid.

If the Head Coach cant put things right then someone else should be allowed to.
