I really get bemused by the discussions on here sometimes. It's as if there are two matches going on at the same time!
I thought Long was terrible at times but at others very good - one of his kicks was class but then he'd throw one of his awful passes and we'd have heart failures because thankfully the receiver managed to catch the damn thing (most of the time) just before he was tackled (and on some occasions that was nothing short of miraculous!)
We were as dull as ditchwater for most of the game and Potter has to stop messing around mid match. Give the team a whole match as a unit so then if they cock it up in the first half at least they have the chance during the second to gel and kick on.
Eastmond was not so hot defensively tonight, which is my concern about him anyway. He looked just as he has done each time I've seen him play. He made a couple of good half breaks but Quins were on him and quick. They played well tonight and with enthusiasm, although I've seen them play better (and had they done so I think they would have beaten us). They made us look shabby and lacklustre and not a league leading side, that's for sure!
I think we were lucky to win that match. I'm happy that we were lucky, but it wasn't down to our creativity, skill, enthusiasm and well drilled defence, that's for sure.
