I totally agree with squad rotation particularly when you have a squad the size of ours but I must say Mason Tonks would be one of the first names on my team list.

Apologies Andy he isnt! I was thinking of Morgan Dawes, who would be on my team sheet & is !!

Classy looking centre partnership but tough away fixture and a few injuries but with the feel good factor in the squad I think we can get a result but won't be easy come on you billesley boys!

Well folks, apart from glad I wasn't there, what can be said. That score is certainly an horrendous 'back down to earth' drubbing occasion for the Moseley players.

According to Twitter Moseley seem to have gone on a giving away penalties spree. And unless I got the twitter timing wrong Old E scored a converted try whilst one of their players was in the sin bin? Ols E's must have thought it was their birthday.

And all that after last weeks heroic performance at Cinderford. How embarrassing for Moseley and such a spectacular fall from grace.

Nuff said.

We didn’t play cinderford last week!
But it was an dreadful performance long way home too

[ale]

It was a shocker to say the least, never got going, however to me not the biggest surprise, we were a very unknown outfit for the first 4 games OE’s clearly did their homework and identified with ease their game plan.. All is not lost, coaches have to start work on playing tactics, as today we were far short of ideas or courage to be honest. Onwards and upwards.

Sorry cheshmos - two weeks ago.

We've really come crashing down to earth with a bang - a six try to nil defeat. Were the OE's outstanding - or did we not really function, either in attack or defence? And if so, why? It does seem a very surprising result given the battling display of the previous week, where we weathered the storm of what I thought was a very strong first half performance by Rotherham to emerge victors - showing great perseverance and attacking skills. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Bit of a reality check I guess.At least we know where we are now. Difficult place to get a result at the best of times. You learn more from defeats than victories and I think we'll be ok and come back stronger

Totally agree - no need to overreact. I think Adam knows what his preferred starting line up is subject to injuries. I fully expect a much better performance next Saturday.

Well I see Canterbury lost heavily at home this week and have yet to win a game in the league so hopefully we can get back to winning ways next week . I would still be interested in an assessment of where we fell short and how we can learn from this week's experience. This said, I have every confidence that this work will be going on in the camp. Come on Mose!

I counted 7 changes in complete match day squad, though scrum was same at k.o In the interests of keeping injury free and resting rotation is the order of the day. Looking at Nat 1 results yesterday I wonder how many teams had the same instinct?
