Everitt is badly in need of some capital gains if he's to remain in a job at Edinburgh

Edinburgh's social media team were straight back into the swing of things yesterday morning as they looked to crank up ticket sales ahead of this weekend’s 1872 Cup second leg at Murrayfield. ‘Ready to bounce back’ was the battle cry after Sunday’s 33-14 loss to Glasgow at Hampden, a scoreline that would have looked a lot worse had Boan Venter not rumbled over for two late tries.

The truth is, that kind of Tweet – or whatever we’re calling posts on X nowadays – has been made plenty of times on Mondays over the past 12 months as Sean Everitt’s side continue to flatter to deceive. One false dawn has followed another. They have been particularly pitiful on their travels.

The journey along the M8 to Hampden was their final road trip in a year that opened promisingly with away wins at Scarlets, Zebre and Cardiff and a decent performance in a narrow quarter-final loss to the Sharks in the Challenge Cup. Then the wheels came off in remarkable fashion in the final match of the season away to Benetton. Edinburgh simply haven’t recovered.

Beaten by the Bulls, humiliated by the Lions – shipping 48 first-half points – then defeated by Ospreys, Gloucester and now Glasgow. Sean Everitt's Edinburgh team are finding it so difficult to win on the road. Jamie Dobie makes a break for Glasgow as Edinburgh's players are left trailing.
