Jones needs sacking! He's made us worse than ever before. Does he even do tactics or any training at all?

I really dont agree on Jones having to go. Our win wasnt convincing but seriously how many caps does Dombrandt Simmonds Randall Marchant Malins Steward have between them? They are all relatively new, our team is evolving with Randall and Dombrandt starting.
Nit saying we are great but what is a new coach going to do?

Far closer than it should have been. England were playing both Wales and the ref today. No quick tap penalties first half, but allows one inside the England 5m line. Other decisions poorly made.
France were sublime today and will easily beat us in Paris going on todays performance. Ireland will feel confident too.

Yeah but that's 100% Jones' fault.
A new coach might at least have some idea of tactics! Jones has shown none at all.

Except we looked this **** with his regulars. Players have changed but the problems are the same. Even the coaching has changed. What's the one constant? Jones. He's killing English rugby. These players don't look this clueless with their clubs.

Those calling for Jones to go...I Don't think he cares about the 6n. His only care is the WC.
Teams have their tactics and usually after about 18 months most Teams can counter them.
He will bring his plan in to play shortly for the run up to the next wc so Teams don't have time to find them out. It's what happened in the last run up to rhe world Cup.
The biggest issue to that plan working was itoje knocking sinkler out in the final....

I dont disagree our attack is not up to scratch. And we do need work. But who are his regulars? We were 12 - 0 at half time then we lost curry a regular. The new players who have less than 10 caps each are Dombrant Randall Smith Malins Steward, with Nowell back from injury......how is the team of his regulars?
Look i dont think we are doing great and these changes we have made needed to be made a lond time ago but im not condemning EJ. Maybe our attack coach needs looking at. I dont know who we would have come in that would massivly improve us a year our from a WC...

I do have to say that if I'm an England fan I'm looking at what a solid coach with fairly standard tactics can do when spoiled with options for players in france. England obviously has talent.
Not when you have Nowell on other.
Back three need to have more pace.

Malins is nothing special at all. But the whole back line just isn't balanced, but Jones' selection is always off really.
That was my comment too.
What a dumb question !

This is ignoring England were this bad last year too... If we were as bad last year without new players and are as bad this year with new players, new players are clearly not the cause.

I was talking about Eddie not being able to do much with a high level of talent, not anything about new players

Not sure what to make of this England team.
Ewels was our best forward ffs. I don't know if its the coaching, lack of experience or lack of on field leadership or all of the above but that was dog ****. Seemed to shoot ourselves in the foot everytime we had momentum, the basics weren't there and the mental fragility seems to be growing.
I thought Mallins was fyairly solid but we need at least one out and out winger, our bench has zero impact Simmonds is a good 8 in a domestic team that played to his strengths when it was legal, better to have proper cover for the full back row I.e. a 6.5.
No one was expecting much from Wales, they Welsh domestic teams are shite but a lot of the England players look shadows of themselves when they pull the white shirt on....
