Mose vs Northampton great game

[Gerald the Fish]

WHAT A GREAT GAME.......Moseley did so well tonight some of the Northampton fans were shocked. I know we lost, and believe me we know the areas we went wrong in, but an absolutely fantastic effort by all involved. The scrum did well and I thought it held it's own, there was strength there and it looked easily on par with NHS. When we were under pressure we didn't panic and seemed to have a more controlled approach to our defense. We appeared to have a much more organized attack than in previous seasons, and scored some fantastic tries, cutting through their defense with no trouble.
The only issues for me are A , the line out. We seem to have trouble hitting the right man. B, handling errors, a lot of dropped ball etc. In fact, thinking about it most of their tries were the product of a mistake by us. If we can iron these issues out with a more settled squad then I feel really confident about this season. More confident than I did last season. Hopefully Kevin's intentions of top 6 aren't so far away at all.

Totally agree Gerald... great performance, totally looked like they belonged there...really encouraging. I have now seen all 3 friendlies and i think like everyone else am hugely optimistic about the coming season. Roll on the 1st...come on moooooooooose!

Have to agree. The team looked strong, focussed, well organised and motivated. I think we were pretty confident in the talent and pace of the back line. Yesterday's showing gave me confidence in the pack. I'm predicting 7th place. We need to make Billesley a fortress and try to instil a feeling that it is a difficult place to get a result for opposition teams.
Very much looking forward to the new season with even more optimism than usual.
