Observations : Sun May 26, 2019 10:23 am  
I see it's back to Miller bashing on here again! Just like the good old days when he was scapegoat for our shortcomings. He doesn't seem any different to me before he got injured, apart from a bit of sharpness, I thought he did ok, but there you go. If Broughy does play next week, that will be Miller's 3rd game back with a different partner, something to bear in mind maybe. Bar that error late on Jowitt was my mom, and I've got no problem with either him or Hampshire at full back, but what I don't want in the coming weeks is chopping and changing at full back and in the halves, it cost us last year messing about bringing Finn back, then out again.....

One thing I did notice about our forwards generally......how can I put this politely....... :wink: a lot of them look overweight to me! I'm not saying they are unfit, but 3 of them look as if they could maybe shed a few pounds to me, whether that would bring better personal performance, is obviously open to conjecture, or maybe it's just the shorts and jerseys that are 'highlighting' their excess...... :shock:

Look at the other teams.Quite a lot of the big guys carry a little extra around the middle . Ben Murdoch Masil a for example.

Absolutely yeah, he does look overweight and he seems to put the same consistent performances in. It might be my eyes, but I just think a few of our guys seem to have put weight on since earlier on in the season, but obviously I don't know that for sure. I think Koppy looks to be carrying a bit too much, and I think the last few games he's looked sluggish and off the pace to me.

There are quite a few of them who no longer seem to be the players of the early rounds of the season. I am not saying they have lost a lot of 'edge' probably only 10% but that can be enough between winners and loosers.

6th is mid table is it not. Tell me how many points are we in front of the bottom team and how many points are we behind the top team. These next 4 or 5 games could see us into the top 5, however we could also slide down much nearer to the bottom, if we don't start to pull things around quickly

Exactly. We are in a good position right now.
What happens from now on is unknown but with our top players coming back I am feeling more positive than negative.

Any team looking to get into the top 5 should not be getting thrashed by London once, never mind twice.

I agree. And we have one more game against them too.

all of them are overweight including your self claimed forward leader.

miller run meters would be in the minus he runs across field so much.
