Terrible terrible. I know Hodgson shares the blame but some if not most of the players where awful. I could coach this lot and they should be able to catch and pass and tackle. No pride or effort today. That should be given and the rot at this club goes deeper than Hodgson. If he's here or not other things need changing

It's about time we appointed a director of rugby who actually knows the game as Pearson is clueless

A 5 year deal for Scott Taylor, 3 years for Johnson, letting Houghton trigger his own extension being 3 recent examples of why we need a competent director of rugby.

Good grief! That was even worse than I imagined it would be.
Lost count of the unforced errors.

At least thats over now. Roll on February

Deperessing for the whole city that bragging rights is with a team who finished 8th.
Neither team deserve any bragging rights this season.

Rovers will also no doubt highly milk the fact they had 16 players, forgetting the fact that Litten didn't come on until the last 5ish minutes. It was basically 16 on 16 anyway

They deserve to milk thos result as much as possible, both sides have has poor seasons, but at least they have some reasons to be optimistic with a new coach coming in.

The buck stops with the coach and he is clearly unable to Coach as after 2 seasons with full cap that is the level of performance we have come to expect.
Unless Pearson fires humans brings in an experienced head coach then there will be very few attending next season which will be a bigger financial hit the sacking Hodgson.
Todays performance for me sums up life under Hodgson who is just too soft and nice to do what is needed. Next season will be no different and likely even worse.

Connor Barley came on with 7 to go so It was more 16 v 15

In his whole time here, I don't feel Hodgson has built a rapport with the fans. I've never really taken to him, he seems so withdrawn and hard to speak to.

It's a pointless debate, you deserved to win, far more enthusiasm, effort and better coached. Fans and players deserve to celebrate this result.
