[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1057913, member: 56232"] Issue is Bath have claimed to have been rebuilding and developing a new style ever since the Fords left. We have had a habit of signing poor players in positions we didn't need and neglecting positions we did need. We've always had pretty solid backs but have not had a good set of forwards for a while. The organisation of the club has been flip-flopping all over the place. Considering our coaching staff appears to be all forwards, it's a wonder why it's our forwards who are so poor. Underhill and Reid are the only ones we can really rely on to put in a shift every game. The rest have a habit of going missing. Hell even supposedly world class Faletau performs noticeably worse for Bath than he did for Wales. I'll be happier when I see the results but after years of hearing "we are learning" only for the exact same mistakes to be repeated season after season, I am not inclined to trust a word the Bath management say any more. It still has the feel of being an old boys club and a play thing for the wealthy owner rather than a proper, professional outfit. It is one of the most widely repeated sentiments of ex players and yet keeps getting dismissed as sour grapes, along with the repeated accusations of poor personnel management. [/QUOTE]
