Us so called "boo boys" was saying this a season ago, and we are still in the same position, when are you so called " cuddle crew" going to realise we don't just moan for the sake of slagging our club off

From an outsiders point of view, having only watched Hull in their tv games in the league this season, Radford has just built a team in his own image. Your 1-17 has absolutely no craft or guile, save for Pryce but without him you look very predictable.
For as good a player as Houghton is, his decision-making is dire, leaving you with a core 1,6,7,9 who are all but one, very easy to read. Banging it down the middle will only work as long as you are able to blow teams away and Hull were not that far away from doing so in the first 15 mins last night if it wasn't for poor execution and a bit of bad luck. It was evident however that there was absolutely no plan B.
Why is Abdull so fat?

aside from your dig at abdul, which we could say the same for kelly, we said the same thing last night, radford has tried to turn us into the bradford bulls 2000 era, it doesnt work anymore, we've spent too much in the forwards and skimped in the backs, teams have found out how to play us and its upto radford to figure out how to nulify that, unfortunately i dont think he has the nouse too

If Radford goes would you be happy if McNamara came to you guys instead of Rovers?
Not trolling or whatever it's called just genuinely interested what FC fans would think if this happened.
it's fair to say Mcnamara draws very mixed reactions from Rovers fans.

No! We don't like any coach, we wanna coach the team ourselves.

Re: Enough is Enough : Fri Mar 11, 2016 9:00 pm  

If Radford does go I think Andy Last and other members of the coaching staff need to go too. Let a new coach bring their own people in.

I'd keep Horne on though as U23 coach though. Had a good record with the youngsters last season and deserves some time to develop.

Sadly though if Radford does go I can see us rushing Horne into the top spot like we did with Lee.

Very easy to put it all on Radford and he has to take a lot of it, but for me, last night was disappointing as the players heads went down. Same old problem, things don't go right, we panic and fail. I said last night, 10 minutes in when it was 12-6, if we don't panic, we'll win. I still think that would have been the case, we were the better team for the first 15.

Personally I think this week is a huge test of both the players, the coach, the club and the fans. We can't just win next week against Wakefield, we have to destroy them. I suspect that in the players meeting that is pretty much exactly what was said. I'm expecting a big response next week.

I'm not ready to call for Radford's head, but if we don't get the response against Wakefield and then that doesn't continue then I will certainly be convinced that it is time. I suspect if this is still a problem at Easter then that will be it.

I am no radford fan and never have been. Last night though the players do need to take most of the responsibility IMO

Re: Enough is Enough : Fri Mar 11, 2016 9:28 pm  

That's more or less my opinion

I said on another thread that there's plenty of blame to go around. During the 80 minutes of a game there's not a lot Radford can do. It's down to the players.

But it's not just about the 80 minutes on the pitch. It's about the training, the tactics and all the other preparation in-between. Radford and the coaches have to be held accountable there (and I'm not saying the players are blameless there either).

Re: Enough is Enough : Fri Mar 11, 2016 11:45 pm  

Think Radford must now be on the last few minutes of borrowed time.

I've never been his biggest fan and always sensed (though not proven) that he may have been in Pearson's ear to get rid of Gentle on the promise that he'd do a better job, of which he never has.

As a life long fan for over 40 years now, I've always stayed positive regarding Hull and expect improvement is never far away.

With the close season recruitment, I'd shared others view that we just judge Radford 8-10 games in and post Easter Monday is a good time with us having played most of the teams by then.

Even with the defeat last night, I would still stick with assessing the situation in a few weeks, however during half time last night my view changed. At the end of the half, my positivity remained. We'd started strongly and had demonstrated in other games our ability to score more freely this season. A couple of early second half tries and we'd be back in with a shout.

Then came the changing room images. Clear as day, you see Radford walk through and out of the far end of the dressing room with a 'talk to the hand' dismissal to at least one of our players. To me, that moment showed things aren't right in our dressing room. This, followed by a very public 'Coaches asked to leave' endorses that view.

Of course, all sports have teams that have clear the air talks, but these are usually behind closed doors, a day or two after a defeat and if reported, done so a few days after the event.

So if things aren't right in the dressing room and there's s divide, then we've reached the point of no return. If this is the case, then Radford's position is untenable and he will have to go now.
