don't think anybody is defending him, he wasn't the only poor player out there today, houghton and westerman were both below standard imo

Hornes been out of his depth for years now and people have been defending too much imo.

As much as I like Horney and try to fight his corner somewhat, today he was slow and poor. Tackled too much with the ball, he even nearly cocked up his try when all he had to do was fall over the line.

Thought Seymour had a very good game, tried all he could and basically did it himself. Nice kicks, short and long, and some nice passes. He is getting better every game and could be better still with a decent SO.

Again, we play below par and draw with a top side.

Agree with all of your post, except that Saints are a 'top side' this season they are an average side the same as us, and we should be picking up 2 points at home.

This season they do look average, but to get 3 points from 4 against them is probably something you would take at the beginning of the season.

We did enough to beat them today. I thought their sliding defence was pretty good, but we built more pressure today then we probably have all season and failed on most occasions to make it count.

so its horne,westerman and houghton now if all these so called experts had there way we would have got rid of sharp,turner,martin and aspinwall before the start of the season

Saints were poor, we were poor. Both sides trying to get the last weeks games out of their systems.
Horne (and a few others already mentioned) were gash.
I was really surprised by Houghton in that he made the ground, did all the hard graft and turned it inside again and again. I could have pulled my hair out at times.
As someone said next to me, that's why he's not in the full England squad - he needs to take the line on more. But, was it PG's tactics?

I think the short inside passes must surely have been a tactical decision by Gentle, as everyone was at it! its a tactic that bores the life out of me!

Me to, at times there's a gap for all to see and a step inside would be the option but no, lets flip it back instead....and then the player gets tackled.

Especially when it's obviously not working yet we continue to do it
