Does appear that what we hoped when LJ arrived is now, fingers crossed, beginning to happen. Lee was right then about three windows. Must have been quite a mess in terms of team spirit when he arrived, and given how good it was in our promotion season, all the more depressing. All goes to show that team spirit is difficult to achieve and easy to lose. Let's hope this spirit continues and grows.

If we are in top half at Xmas, our professionalised analysis and recruitment systems should allow us to tweak team to reach playoffs, but that will depend on keeping our best players and bringing in class in weaker areas. Something we have largely failed to do at this level in the past. The time to buy is when we are on the up not on the down. This may well be Ashton's role, to loosen the purse strings and push the club forward COYR

Well that assumes you think improving the team but keeping the same manager will work. Remember LJ said he needed three windows. He only has this one left and he needs 11 new players if we are to press for the play offs. Depends on how much Our Leader is going to spend on the rugby to get them back to the Premiership. Not happy at all with this season and decidedly worried about next.
