Yes, I'm with Jimmy. No need to overreact. As with every other season at this level, we are going to get spanked. The disappointing thing today was that stoke didn't really have to work too hard, our defence was awful. We know Morrisson is a very good player but was very off the pace. Not really surprising as its his first competitive game in 8 months.

I'm sure there is better to come from him if he stays fit, likewise Hall and Peltier but already they are confirming my worst fear that all three are not going to be available for large chunks of the season and as a result we end up with non stop flux for poor Cam to cope with.

Taylor has produced some stinking performances, as did Warne. But both have a tendancy to then produce great shows soon after so best hold judgement, at least until the new players have gelled a bit.

Rusty. Very rusty. But here's where Taylor gets the chance to show his ability to manage a rocky situation as he has done before. Increasingly, it is a side in his own image now and let's hope he can knock them into good shape. Let's get behind him.
