Edinburgh Supporters Share Disappointment Following Ospreys Defeat

Following Edinburgh’s defeat to Ospreys on Saturday, supporters shared their reactions and perspectives. Mark stated: “Conditions were perfect for rugby but we saw two very poor sides playing a borefest. Things need to change soon or fans will start demanding a change to the coaches.” Stuart observed: “Watching Edinburgh play Ospreys was like watching Scotland play a Warren Gatland coached Wales from his first tenure. All Ospreys had to do was keep fighting and eventually Edinburgh would crumble. Edinburgh had the talent, even the endeavour, just not the fortitude. Instilling that is what is still clearly missing.” Ian noted: “Edinburgh are now two from six. Something’s missing. Something’s not working. Don’t know what it is but the urgency from the last two weeks, which got us two wins and good performances to boot, wasn’t there. It’s not talent, we’ve got plenty of that on paper. Is it gameplan, coaching, culture, something else or all of the above?” Stair commented: “Edinburgh were terrible! A dearth of ideas and complete confusion at times. The referee was awful but that was the same for both teams. Experienced players looked totally mystified. Surely the SRU realise that this coach is not up to the job.” Andrew remarked: “Edinburgh were overpowered at the breakdown by an average Ospreys side in an error strewn game. When the heat was on in this dogfight of a game our attack offered nothing and we folded. On the positives there was some belligerent defensive sets but with no field position they never looked like winning the game. Another rollercoaster season beckons.” Jonny expressed: “Here we go again, Edinburgh doing Edinburgh things. I wish I was surprised but it’s this club’s culture to have their bellies tickled. Fans are tired of the same old rhetoric of the management and the team. They say they want to prove us wrong well and do their talking on the park. Well, we’re waiting.”
