Should Gibbs and Peel Go if:

[Bart S]

Kofi - a bit harsh on Gibbes and too generous towards Russ (for sure!), but i take your point. Gibbes is proven at turning a good pack into a winning one, but i accept different skills and mentality may be required to turn a poor one into a relatively decent one.

[thecrouch]

Gibbes needs to stay.

Fcuk me with a stick lads, how many coaches are we going to plow through before we realise that the shower of wasters who pull on the jersey every week are the ultimate source of our problems?

Give me a shot at it I have my badges... Tell them Cockers wants the gig and the stupid feckers will think its Cockrill and say YES..

Can’t remember who said it,possibly Baggy or Kofi but it’s going to get worse before it’s better.

The age profile of our top players isn’t good. There seems to be a 3-4 year gap from around 2006-2010 where ulster didn’t provide a pathway for local players to come through.

Who’s fault is this?
Ulster head coach at time
Academy coach
Cornerfleg (Bryn, Constable)
Clubs
Schools
Logie

Probably all of the above, but the buck has to stop with someone.

Lancaster

Brings hands skills and tempo, something a team with a small pack and decent backs need.

Has an incredible record of bringing through youth.

Vilified by English media.

I think the person(s) responsible has already left Ulster Rugby.

[BaggyTrousers]

The King and I both expect this to get worse, what some of you clowns don’t understand is that we are now at the arseend of bottom of the barrel in terms of player availability. If you expect a new voice to turn that around in a week or two you aren’t just a clown, you are a clownish fückwït.

I think that’s me done with this pile of shyte other than to say anything better than one more win in the remainder of a woeful season will surprise me.

And to think Matt Sexton waited around for that job at the time.

As fans I think sadly we need a strong dose of reality.

We are now a team that the likes of Glasgow will expect to have a good chance of beating away. Similarly teams like Scarlets should expect a BP win against us when they are at home.

What we don’t need is a knee jerk reaction based on results. We do need a coach who can bring on the likes of Rea and Timoney. Don’t really see any way as fans we are going to be able to judge that, at least in the short term

Leo Cullen has turned Mexico around. We should get an ex player

As of a couple of weeks ago we had lost one home game all season. We may have a couple more injuries now but given how little we are impacted numbers wise by the 6 N’s versus some of the ither teams, let’s not kid ourselves that we should be acceoting defeats as a result. Scarlets were having to chuck in kids (literally). Did we have to play anyone bar McPhillips with less than 10 caps?

I don’t see why we should accept that results should get even worse than under Kiss because of injuries and crap players, when we have had that all season and are now playing weakened teams anyway. Beating Glasgow at home during the 6N’s unless they have their internationals back should not be considered miraculous achievement - we shpuld expect that. Even this season.

Given the resources we have, are Gibbes and Peel the right men to have in place for what we need right now? I hope any review will be asking that.

[justinr73]

Indeed.

Les managed to beat their 1st XV away last season, lest we forget.

I think he needed the mentor in Lancaster to help that along.. maybe I am giving too much credit to Stuart. On the plus side we tend to work well under ex-school teachers..

I tend to agree with Kofi we don't have the personel to challenge for silverware but I think we can always do better.
The starting point for any side is discipline and humbleness and an understanding of the importance of playing for the supporters and the shirt.
That's before anything on the pitch.

On field start with the basics.
Nailing set piece and defence.
The rest will follow but make ourselves hard to beat and make the oppositon work for everything.
That's the starting point and we don't move on until that's instilled.

Lancaster is certainly a man who can rebuild from the ashes and would be top of my list if available.
No matter who stays or is brought in it's important they don't get ahead of themselves until they install these simple ethics and principles.
Patience is key.
