Season so far

[b13observer]

So one month in most teams 5 games some observations.

Newcastle as predicted by most seem to have the ability to boss the season and will make the play offs without a doubt.

Jersey also as predicted are struggling although my feeling is that they are due some results and are getting closer to getting a W on the board.

Which brings me on to what appears to be the closeness of the league. in my view Bedford are the other team who i would suggest are a shoe in for the top 4. After that however it's up for grabs ,usual suspects Cornish P/Bristol and Leeds don't appear to be doing the business. Plymouth from what I saw at Billsey are no better than us. As for the rest Nottingham I also thought looked OK no better and the rest well Doncaster are going well and Rotherham seem to have gone backwards from last year. LS just are Moseley circa 2010 to2012.

Comments please.

Really? Zero wins, one draw and four losses for only four points doesn't look like going well to me.

Can't disagree - but I'm surprised that, after London Welsh' promotion precedent, the likes of Nottingham and Cornish Pirates don't appear to be pushing ahead for that top four spot in the way they have done previously.

An improving Mose in a close league should make for an enjoyable season.

well done for spotting the obvious mistake I meant not going well oops

[robheap]

Having only seen the 2 home games so far, a little early to tell.
but Nottingham & Plymouth did nothing to worry us, but sadly we failed to beat either.
Good win at Bristol, just hope its an improving squad not a one off,
the next few weeks will tell. Newcastle are away and gone already, not surprising with Parachute payments, the other places seem up for grabs, and there's no reason why we shouldn't finish in the top half if we can get some consistency in our play.

Happy so far, but as my old school reports used to say "can do better"

Nottingham win today means the top 4 in Championship are the 4 Moseley defeats this season. General agreement on this site is that we could have taken something from 2 of those games. So overall, together with the feel good factor & enjoyable rugby I think things are positive.

However, the season starts here Moes.... (not withstanding the B& I cup) the fixtures coming up are winnable & certainly vital, as beating the teams around us are key to a successful season. Hopefully injuries will be kind as the heavy grounds & difficult weather through the winter months will not be easy for what appears our preferred style of play.

Come on U Moes.....

Totally agree oddsox, it does start here and I personally hope we don't take the BI cup too seriously and look to use the comp as a thorough training/conditioning few weeks. Jersey now looked doomed in my view, we will certainly post another 25 points this season. Think the step up/ step down divisional wise is getting far greater, LS had won two this time last year, jersey look hopelessly flawed.

Mail: Neil Mason feels Moseley deserved more from early RFU Championship performances

[markd]

Actually, I'm against using B&I to experiment and rotate too much. This is a team/squad just coming together after the Summer departures. In my mind, therefore, continuity is much more important at this stage.

[Rich]

I agree, and if we rest our "stars" (eg. non-exhaustive list of Hughes, Pons, Powell and Pienaar) for the B&I as well as Newcastle it will be 4 weeks between full games (for those who played Bris), that can't be good for cohesion.

I say full team out home v Llanelli which will encourage the supporters to come out, rest some v Scottish if we must (and not let them know what's gonna hit them in the league match!) and then go all out for victory at Donny. A Friday match not to miss!

Mail: Comment: Moseley are better off with young guns

[grooveavenue]

So I see Mr Maggs earning a few more pennies at St Andrews..............coaching on how to make a comeback.

Mr Maggs please do not make a habit of it much prefer to be ahead rather than catch but if you can continue catching I'll go for that as well!!

Good Luck Saturday..............keep them wins rolling!

[londonexile]

Que?

[grooveavenue]

...............sorry londonexile.....I slipped into other code jargon!

BCFC just last evening were 0-3 down on 20mins at Millwall. Comeback to 3-3! Sorry about that but there seems a recent trend locally for comebacks and well I hope you get the drift.

I PROMISE NOT TO ENTER THIS ARENA AGAIN AND STICK TO FOOTBALL REAL..........RUGBY CODE

Grooveavenue.

You mean good luck Friday i hope for Moseley and good luck Saturday for Blues.

[londonexile]

No problem Grooveavenue, I get it now. I'm not totally opposed to football. In fact I was playing five-a-side up until this year. I might be a similar age to Dave Hilton but my fitness level isn't similar. I got a bit fed up playing against a bunch of 17, 18 & 19 year olds, no fun trying to keep up with them!
