Zebre

Get Everitt out that is a disgrace utterly clueless.

We don't have bad players it is bad coaching/system.

Price is too slow Thompson too deep.

No wonder Ritchie is off to perpignan i would not blame everybody of contract player wanting away.

Usually March till we get displays like that.
Can the worst coach in the URC not see how much the game speeds up when Vellacot comes on.
If Price is off at the end of the season then why play him.
Lots of fans on camera looked decidedly unhappy.

Just pish. Playing against 13 men and it never even crossed our mind to pass it wide, pathetic stuff.

Sorry, not usually one for calling for heads, but Everitt has to go.

We have invested heavily in the playing squad, but seem to want coaches on the cheap.

Thoroughly fed up at the moment, 4 of us deciding we won’t be renewing our ST next season, we won’t be alone.

Same i have been unable to attend Friday matches this season and knew I wouldn't ahead of time but bought ST again anyway, won't be doing it again next season.

Are the new blazers at the SRU taking note? Can't believe Nucifora will be accepting of this.

Lancaster in till end of season?

Agree with all the angst. The team continues to play well below the sum of its parts, missing internationals or not.
I've posted this before, but if you go to Edinburgh's web site it continues to refer to Sean Everitt as "An outstanding attack and backline coach . . ". Surely a Trade Descriptions Act intervention is required.

But also I think important to say well played Zebre. A real team effort from a franchise allegedly struggling for its existence, but improving massively on the pitch.

Firstly must congratulate an inspired and passionate performance from Zebre . I applauded them rather than boo Edinburgh at the end .

I think it’s been pretty evident for some time that with the exception of a few highlights the dog and cohesion’s d confidence has ebbed out of this team over the past few seasons . This was a team full of international caps plus non cap Goosen who was our best back . The Edinburgh support is now bigger and more vibrant than ever at the Hive , It’s a great set up and can be an exciting place to play and watch rugby and their have been sone great times and brigh “ Friday Night “ lights . We have lost a few big characters from Edinburgh over the past couple of seasons and soon we wave farewell to Jamie Ritchie and possibly a few other top players in the next 12 months.
Some poor decisions have been made on the performance side over the past season or two both in terms of recruitment, player leadership and coaching . To be fair . to any head coach at Edinburgh calibrating the needs and influences of the Governing body ( Scotland ) and the Club identity and j independent thinking is a very challenging task and that has probably been easier to manage in Glasgow given location and of course the character of Smith .
The SRU need to give all this some focus with a robust before the support snd commercial interst built up over the last 3 years loses momentum and faith .
