Back to back defeats against Glasgow have effectively sealed Bradley's fate in all but name. He needs a miracle to save his job now.

Lets just hope he hangs in there until we appoint a new coach otherwise the incredibly wise Irish media will be camped outside Connacht HQ wanting to know why a former Ireland, Ireland A, Ireland U21, Heineken Cup semi-finalist coach isn't being handed the Connacht job.

3-15 defeat tonight at home to Racing. While the wins against Ospreys and us probably bought him some time, they are now the only team with no points or no tries. 4 penalties from 4 matches is a very poor return. If the Glasgow matches don't go well over the Christmas period he's in trouble. Either way I think his goose is cooked come the end of the season.

I certainly wish no ill will on Mick, but only their run in the HC last season gave him any breathing room. That help won't be there this season so they are going to have to turn their Rabo form around in a hurry. They have Ulster away and then the Osprey's at home so it's actually possible that Connacht could be the team that starts knocking in the nails on Bradley's Edinburgh career if they beat them at the Sportsground 1 December.

Noone that they want(and could get) available until then apparently.

i see that bryan redpath is no longer head coach at sale. sale are denying that he was sacked. could this change things for bradley?

It's funny every time a new post takes this thread back up to the top, I'm half expecting it to be confirmation of his sacking.

Sad but true... :silly:

Feeling bad for Edinburgh atm they are locked in the grip of a losing streak with no immediate end in sight and we all know how that feels. Ulster in ravenhill next is unlikely to be their chance to break the streak.

Not getting any better for Bradley, bp try conceded before ht at home to Scarlets, still came back to lead but denied almost at the death by a Rhys Priestland penalty. 28-29.

Scarlets up to 2nd 7 played 25 points. League will be their priority for the rest of the season.

Edinburgh have a lot of ground to make up already.

Only saw parts of the first half. Pretty awful stuff. It says a lot for the spirit in the Edinburgh camp that they couldn't summon the resolve to at least deny Munster a bonus point in the final 10 minutes.

Scarlets (h), Ulster (a) and Ospreys (h) to come in the league before they come to the Sportsground at the start of December.

European campaign is effectively over already. The game could be up very quickly for Bradley if he can't at least steady up the league form.

tim vissor (the best try scorer, around this part of the world) is injured a good few games this season and also there captain, greg laidlaw, got plenty of man of the matchs last season when they made the semi.

Two big losses for Edinburgh on the trot with no points scored in response, what's going on in Edinburgh atm?? I know Conn had that loss against Ulster but that was never going to go our way on the night and we came back from it with some good rugby. Whatever about the saracens team that looks likely to top the group, I would not have expected that Munster team to hold them scoreless based on recent results. I didn't see the game though in fairness, anyone want to give a quick report??
