In that case we are having a lot of bad days at the office. Cannot decide if this loss was worse then the one to Sheffield as atleast we were trying to shoot from other areas on the floor and not just under the basket. Even the Scorchers and Patriots could have gotten their first wins if they played us last night. Anyone would wonder if the Eagles had a Christmas party the night before we were that bad. At this point I don't know what the problem is for why the team isn't executing? Is it the coach? Have we recruited the wrong players? After 10+ games we still look like we don't know how to play as a team. After last week's empathatic win over the Lions on Sky I was hoping for another packed house and new fans to come in. Safe to say last night they didn't miss much. Don't think your recruitment was particularly good this year. Seeing Peel interviewing on the BBL site he admits he's only 60-70 % where he wants to be. Presumably Eagles management are only paying him 60-70% of his agreed salary until he's 100%. I thought that he really struggled coping with both Ochereobia and Dickerson last weekend against us, he was sat down for quite a time when things got very close. Having to rely so much on dear old Defoe isn't really a long term solution. Peel does need to up his game but he’s not the only one |

After last weekend I thought we’d turned a corner and last night would be an easy win - at least I got the last bit right.
Now I’ve got to prepare for full on embarrassment on Sky next Friday - what’s our target biggest losing margin to Riders ?

Don't count out your team. Who would have put money on beating both Lions & Nix last weekend? Pretty certain Coach Rob will not be taking Newcastle for granted. You shouldn't assume Eagles won't be competitive either. I'm not.

It’s been a theme under Coach Mac let’s be honest, capable of big performances but just as easily throw in plenty of stinkers |
