Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt<\/b> spoke to BBC Scotland after his side’s 26-5 home URC defeat by Connacht.<\/b><\/p>\n
“It is disappointing because we did so many good things in the game to get field position,” Everitt said. “We got the entries that we needed to be able to get a result.<\/p>\n
“We got 18 possessions and 14 entries, so we’ve got to be better with ball in hand. You’ve got to give credit to Connacht for the way they defended and they were desperate tonight. But yeah, really disappointed that we couldn’t get over the line and get a win tonight.<\/p>\n
“The attack let us down this season, I believe. Last year we were good with ball in hand. It’s going to take a squad of 45 to be able to do well in this competition. And we’re not there yet as far as depth is concerned.<\/p>\n
“There’s multiple reasons why we haven’t got there [in the top eight]. I thought in the first block, we probably let a few games slip there by losing by one or two points. And I think that cost us dearly, those first four weeks.<\/p>\n
“If you get three of those wins in the first block, it makes it a hell of a lot easier at the end. And we’ve got to be better when we go to South Africa and come away with points.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt spoke to BBC Scotland after his side’s 26-5 home URC defeat by Connacht.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":962662,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8816],"tags":[748,1102,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-962661","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edinburgh","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-edinburgh","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-scotland","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116581427556132435","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/962661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=962661"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/962661\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/962662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=962661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=962661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=962661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
