A run of consistency would be nice

Whereā€™s the fun if you are boringly brilliant every week!!. SmileBig smile. On a serious note this Donny team is one of the most perplexing ones to watch. On their day they are absolutely brilliant and look every inch like title contenders - when they are off it they sometimes look like they could be playing for 10 days and not score a try. The inconsistency in their performance is infuriating.

In spite of the loss we had excellent hospitality and we enjoyed our first visit to . There were over three hundred farmers at our lunch and tucking in to Cow Pie . 
Ealing never fired on all cylinders and the wet conditions led to uncharacteristic mistakes, lots of dropped ball , missed kicks. 

Donny we very good at spoiling ball and attacked with vigor.

Thatā€™s a gross assumption. I donā€™t think anyone of us can know what is happening inside a team. Ealingā€™s recent performances against Northampton and Exeter would SUGGEST that there is nothing much wrong with Ealingā€™s team mentality.
Speak softly, but carry a big stick.

Iā€™m not sure I agree with that CPK - you donā€™t go 11 from 13 and dig out wins from behind in places like Bedford and Penzance if youā€™re not a mentally strong team, not to mention Ealingā€™s Premiership Cup exploits. Today was a very tight game that could have gone either way but Donny were more clinical in the key moments and Ealing probably left some points out there. It is true that Donny match up better against Ealing than most other Championship sides but I would say thatā€™s due to Donny probably playing smarter and neutralising Ealingā€™s strengths rather than anything mentality wise.

Well I base it on what I see. Ealing have quality players but when the going gets tough they seem to buckle a tad. I still think Ealing are the best team, skill wise, but when under the cosh thatā€™s when they lose. I still firmly believe that they are going to be the winners of the league and should be promoted to the premiership.
Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny!

It felt like watching Trailfinders women with all the missed kicks. Left 9 points on the field.

Ealing tried to play an expansive game and did score three tries all from wingers but too much spilt ball trying to play open rugby. Ealing did not adapt well enough when the heavy rain came down. 

Craig Willis left his kicking boots at home . The wellingtons one size down.

Tough one to take for The Ravers Confused
But they/we lost and just have to take it and move on 
Many contentious decisions by the referee, but that seems to be par for the course 
Referee-assistants may as well revert to being called touch judges
