Don't think EOS is the answer but Lam has to go, no way can this shite continue, players will be out the door, crowds will drop off even more than they have, sponsors will walk and we'll be back in the dark ages. Lam has taken us back five years already, that's with a far better squad than we've ever had. I reckon even Bradley could have done better with this lot. Had high hopes when he came in but it's been a complete shambles this year

Pat Lam is not working. Sorry, nice guy 'n all. Whatever he has, he cannot get it across, the players cannot be that bad, not Clarke, Muldowney, White, Marmion, Pooolman, Carr....

Need an urgent response, even a new coach at season end would mean another lost year.

Toulouse is irrelevant. Only thing important is Rabo.

Three (two) words: Eddie O'Sullivan.
Now.

Like everyone else on here no doubt I have seen some dark days over the years but this is a complete car crash. Lam has lost all credibility, probably the strongest side we've been able to put out this season and we've been humiliated. He has to be held accountable, players are at fault too but it comes from the top. Disgraceful result

Edinburgh are a bigger club than us in fairness (to call them a mickey mouse club, I don't know what that makes us) but they've been around our level or worse for a few years. To lose by this score is nothing short of an embarrassment.

ok i didnt mean mickey mouse but what i ment is its shocking to get hammered to a team or own level or worse for the last few seasons. only team we can beat is zebre since april.
we have a better squad then ever but this is worse as its gets for 3 or so seasons.

even when we lost 14 in a row, we were honestly UNLUCKY. this season we havent been unlucky. some we've actually been lucky to make the score more respectful

3 tries in 6 minutes? Am I missing someone in the bin or is this the Full Bradley?

Sweet Jebus 29-10. All coming from another turnover. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I'm still for giving Lam time to get this right but there needs to be a radical change in approach, we should not be losing to a team like Edinburgh by 20 points and tonight there is no excuses with injuries etc. This sort of defeat is slipping towards Bradley territory.

In fairness its 8 losses in a row in the league. I think its 4 on the bounce now in the league. The Zebre HC win broke up a 5 game losing streak prior to that. Anyway only a minor point.

Wasn't trying to make excuses. Certainly not for Parks.

yes i get were making chances, the misses and nearly had a few trys, BUT we havent. its what matters. we are now 50 mins without (the all important scoring)

this is utter shite. no point saying, close or unlucky. no more excuses.
8 lost on the bounce, 2 games vs toulouse makes 10.
home game vs dragons and then munster and leinster. that could make 1 win in 13 if were lucky
