I think the frustration is that we could easily have got something from both of the last 2

games given a bit of luck, different officials and obviously if we cut out the stupid mistakes in our own half. neither side were really markedly better than us and frankly I think we left some possible points out there.

That aid, even 2 draws, whilst feeling psychologically very different, would only have us on 2 points so a win on saturday and the season is up and running. Where we were terrible last time we were up was in our results and performances against the bottom half team. Not only did we pick up very few points but we gifted our rivals points and key times. If this season, we can reverse that and take points from those games then that could make a huge difference.
