It’s not like Lumley needs a rest. Strange call. Glad the kids have a chance at full-back. Also good of us to play Cousins and negate any potential advantage we have of being the theoretically superior team.
4 of the subs played last night! I liked the look of Felix. Very small and played a right back but looked so much more dangerous with his pace further up the pitch.
I hope I'm proved wrong but 11 ****ing changes when our confidence is so brittle. How's about getting some momentum going, even if we win none of this line up will be starting at the weekend so it won't really feel like we're on a roll. Half a dozen changes at most I would have thought would be about right. Frustrating Smyth not getting a start, his enthusiasm and confidence must be taking a hit. Great to see Hall back in action though. If the starting 11 doesn't make much sense the bench makes even less, surely if you field your second string you keep some big guns in reserve?. I'll eat me words if it works out but he's taking a big risk and he really needs the fans on board he can't afford and cock ups.
I will enjoy regardless... it’s my only chance to get to a game this visit... I’m in SAR so not expecting legroom... I’m 6’4”
Lets hope the players coming in grab this chance with both hands Hoping Ingram plays well in front of a defence that listens to him
Suspect Ingram is in to hopefully give him a confidence boost with a win and hopefully a clean sheet...assuming the other 10 changes don’t mess up with that plan
