Exeter boss Rob Baxter has urged Henry Slade not to dwell on his missed kicks during their recent defeat at Bath. The Chiefs reached last season's Premiership final, where they lost to Northampton at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, but have yet to record a win this season following a surprising home loss to Gloucester. Baxter believes the team's early struggles should not cause major concern, emphasizing the importance of consistent performance over immediate results.
He stressed that the focus should be on playing well each week and building points gradually, rather than panicking after just two games. The message reflects a long-term approach, drawing from last season's experience where steady progress led to the final. Exeter aim to rebound by maintaining high standards regardless of short-term outcomes.
