[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1024572, member: 56232"] Whilst I understand where you are coming from, that doesn't explain a lot of what is going wrong. He explicitly said the aim was to defend hard and play a simple game as he rebuilds an attacking structure. That would be fair is we were playing a solid but unremarkable game and executing a very basic gameplan well. We aren't. Our defence has gone to pot, our discipline is atrocious and our kicking game has been laughably bad. Considering those are the areas he is supposedly focussing on, they should be a hell of a lot better than where they are now. His reason is the same every time, he didn't prepare the players correctly. Well what IS he preparing them for if not what actually happens, and isn't getting a hold on our runaway bad discipline a number 1 priority? That is causing us more problems than anything else. I'm not in the sack Eddie camp as he has proven he can turn it around before but eventually he has got to stop holding all his cards to his chest because then you get a situation like Joe Schmidt, remember how he was keeping everything back for the world cup and then the world cup arrived and it turned out nothing had actually been held back, what you saw is what you got.
