Dear, oh dear, oh dear. Not another embarrassment and yet another supporter leaving the game before the finish. What excuses have Moseley got to offer this time? Not winning is one thing but shipping a whole bucket load of points is another - and Moseley are PDG at that.
All the other teams in the league must be chuffed to bits about that and rubbing their hands with glee knowing that all they have to do is turn up against Moseley and claim their 5 point bonus win. What better Christmas present any other team wish than the knowledge that Moseley are, as much as anything, guaranteed a pushover.
The way things are going Moseley will almost certainly be in their usual bottom of the league relegation dog fight by Christmas. Can't wait.
I'll be there at the home game next week but methinks I had better bring something to read as well because I rather suspect there will not be much to cheer about.
Now we know the truth...Rolling Maul DMP contributors ADMIT, yes ADMIT, that DMP had a once in a season game, everything went amazingly well, no awkward bounces, few dropped balls, extremely high level of accuracy and flow in all aspects of their game. So we never stood a chance anyway.!!!
Although it was a very disappointing performance and result today (yes we were there), we cannot see any good coming from this level of negativity. The point is to support your team through thick and thin. Can’t see how comments of this nature are any good to the club and team in any way. Fully understand the need for honesty but not this level of negativity, the players will be hard enough on them selves. Onwards and upwards!!

Haven't made the last two games so can't comment on the performance, however agree with Chesmos, they need our support and with the next three games to end year against top six sides that is needed even more. Come on Mose........
Of course support is there, we all pay our subs each year. Of course support is there, otherwise the stand would be empty week in week out. Of course support is there, witness those who travel to away matches. But what none of us can escape from is reality and the reality is that Moseley, all too often cannot this season, just cannot defend. Once that is sorted, even in part then they will have a chance to shine.
Well all I commented on was DMP contributors to Rolling Maul.I did not attend the match. Its available for all to read. I am a BMRFC season ticket holder but surely their graceful in victory comments are worthy of reporting even though they may be tongue in cheek.
So we need a winna' v Chinnor. I reckon we still got up to xmas to find our legs with our virtually new squad and we need that 2 week break urgently. We'll be there come rain or wind or sleet or snow.

I agree with Nobby (Phil). I think the rotation of the squad has proved that we have some excellent players perfectly capable of competing at this level but also some that are unfortunately not good enough.
Fitness Rich. Since the opening match against 'ULL, when sustained speed and mobility was outstanding there has been a noticeable deterioration in fitness levels - not only in the second half but also towards the latter stages of the first half.
I didn't see either of the last two games but it seems hard to understand how the team which was evidently so competitive against Blackheath last week has performed so poorly this week. One explanation, offered by andj above, is to do with squad rotation. I do hope this is the case, although I note that there were only 6 changes to this week's starting 15 from last week's. Whatever the case, it looks like we should have our strongest team out against Chinnor next week, if we are to arrest what's beginning to look like a downward spiral. It seems we do have the players to be competitive. We must redouble our support of them and hope we can do our bit to bring about a much needed upturn in our fortunes, which looked so promising early season. Come on Mose!
Didn't look as if we were at the races. Some good interplay by them but dreadful tackling by us. Were we frightened of going down on that frosty pitch?! Was it really playable?!

Harley said it was "crispy", I think, meaning that it was only frosty on the surface, if that was broken it was fine.
The deluge of points near the end suggested that the team were demoralised. Mowden have some very speedy backs, their No 11, a dual-reg from Falcons, in particular, and they found gaps in our defence very easily. And they made very few errors. Even the touchline conversions all went over. It was that sort of day. Whereas we kept spilling the ball in contact and our passing wasn't always of the best quality. And kicks to touch kept missing and were run straight back at us.
We can't - I hope - be that woeful again. I can imagine it was a very quiet coach on the journey home for the lads.
