Hmm, 22-18 loss, that's not good.

Just not top four material this year. Will we beat a top four side? I doubt it. Frustrating.

Yes very disappointing, I was hoping a result would take us nicely into an interesting April. I'm sure the fans who went will give their post mortem but is just a case of trying to cut out those errors as much as possible to give us that extra 5 or 10% that we need?

I looked at that team sheet on the dressing room door and it looked pretty fair TBH. Fancy dropping the ball from kick off though

As GFB has alluded to selection for Friday's game will be interesting as we just cannot afford anything but a win on the Monday.

Will be interesting to see if RM brings a couple of extra bodies in.

Nil desperandom however Friday night could be a bit fraught

It was disappointing as the better team lost. We made too many errors that they capitalised on. Their kicking game was very good but we tried to force too many passes that went to ground. There were positives to take out of the game but it is a game we should have won.

I agree you guys should have won, you had so much possession and territorial advantage in the first 20 mins of the second half and yet only managed to be ahead by 6. Think there was a tendancy by Fax to over elaborate, I thought our kicking game wasn't all that, even managed to put one out on the full. Generally a scrappy affair but exciting to the end. Safe journey home Fax fans!

Your kicking game was spot on, especially in the second half with the wind, pin us down on our 25. Not sour grapes, I think the law needs changing why should a long range kick that goes dead result in a 25 tap.
Surely it is very negative for a team to kick a ball dead, the ball should be brought back to where the kick was.
Great journey home Rob, under three hours and that with almost all of the M1 and M62 being 50 miles per hour.
I thought the London Fans were brilliant,apart from the drummer, he know know where he can stick his drum sticks.

Well that was just two points thrown out of the window. We tried to score off every play in the 1st half and why oh why didn't we go for the 1 pointer at 12v18? Really disappointed. The Castle, Harrow. St Austell Proper Job, 4.5 % Mmm!

Agreed on the kicking rule, if it's kicked from the opposition half it should be a restart from the 40 at least.

We weren't beaten by a better team today (although London used the wind well in the last 30 mins to keep us in our own half), we lost because we made too many mistakes. The effort was first class and the defence strong - and when we stop forcing unnecessary passes and stop rushing in good positions we will be comfortably beating teams like London. Having been a season ticket holder in the 90's and rarely missing a game, I moved to London and hadn't seen Fax for many years. It was great to see a committed and organised team again - and even better to see how many fans had travelled to London. They created a great atmosphere in a soulless stadium and did the club proud.
