We do have a core of very good players and that makes us think this can't go on for much longer. Football is a game of confidence and yesterdays game will do nothing to add to the players confidence.
Evans is a motivation style manager and he has his work cut out now, do not under estimate the pressure on him to start getting results. There are rumours stated on here that there are issues in the dressing room, whether that is the case or not, it is clear to anyone watching the games, they are not playing as a team, we look disjointed and lack any real style. Yesterday wasn't about the result it was about how we played and how the team were managed, and that didn't look good.
The facts are not good, 4 out of 7 with no goals, our only win came after the other team went down to 10 men (yes we played well before the sending off), only 1 clean sheet, set pieces are wasted (how many chances from corners and free-kicks yesterday?).
So your positive belief is good but what have you seen that makes you so sure we will finally win away from home and to do it two in a row?

1. Evans only succeeds by throwing 90 players at it and something sticking.

2. Evans doesn't coach players to improve as individuals we're well versed in that.

3. Evans was about 8 managers down the pecking order. Has a club ever been turned down so much for such a position?

4. RUFCs problems run deeper than changing a manager. Anybody think it's even remotely acceptable that the guy head of dept concluded it was ok to spend £1m on a player I'd be loathe to get on a free, then be promoted upstairs just says it all how we're operating as a club.

RUFC are no different now to 40yrs ago. In fact no scrap that, we're worse off, we don't even own our stadium anymore.

Changing managers, as much as I can't stand Evans (including 1st time) is NOT the solution.

Most of those yesterday would struggle in my 5 a side team.

Failure after failure after failure. You know the saying. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

We are in free fall until something changes upstairs with the Board
