[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1173906, member: 56232"] Under Jones the closest we got to losing was 31-14 so sorry, that's wrong. There were a few in the 2010's that came close. The issue, as has been said, it this is off the back of a whole year of appalling England performances, literally breaking records for worst ever. Those of us complaining aren't expecting him to have turned the team into ***le contenders, and the constant jumping straight to this strawman is getting tiresome, but DO expect him to be bringing the team up a level. As it is, he's just added another 2 record worst performance stats to the list. If anything our attack has slightly improved and yet we still scored fewer tries than Italy. Our defence however has somehow managed to get even worse. We have had a problem with defending too narrow and not realigning fast enough for years and nobody is addressing it. How many times must sides breeze past our completely non-existent wide defence before someone works out we can't just keep leaving huge gaps out wide if the players aren't going to put the effort in to drift across when the attacking team goes wide. We aren't talking complex rugby here, these are the absolute basics. [/QUOTE]
