Can't believe people still think it's coaches fault instead of SAME PLAYERS

SAME PLAYERS that let down 2 previous coaches aswell

People are well aware it’s the players first and foremost and why a big clear out/cull is needed. Questions are been asked rightly about the pitiful and poor performances that are not just continuing but getting worse and more frequent. The coaching team are not and should not be immune from criticism when things are so bad even understanding that a number of players are issues.

It’s almost as though Smith has told most of them they won’t be here next year and a just dead men walking.

Did you honestley think he could change the fortunes of this side ? Did you really think that ?

I mean he hasnt being perfect but to blame smith for these points youve posted is bonkers. Im not a huge Smith fan never wanted him but the points youve posted have gone on here for years. The players arent interested and the sooner they are removed from the club the better.

This is a squad of core players who registered 13 losses in a row, 9 in a row and now 7 in a row. The problem at this club isnt the coaches its the players, the Hull mafia. Smith is one of the most successful coaches in the British game, now it might not work out here but to suggest he is clueless and to blame for where this club has ended up is quite frankly bullcrap.

Concede a try and we implode. Really playing with no confidence or motivation. Worrying.

Who would you replace him with and how long would you give the new head coach?

The problem is Hodgson was given time by Pearson.His downfall was his less than poor recruitment but the club kept him on too long.
We have a similar situation now with Smith who no doubt has been given the time he needs to turn the club around and so he doesnt have the pressure on him from the top like a new coach would normally have.
All i can say is i believe that just about any coach from the Championship could not be any worse than what we have seen from Smith and probably would have a lot more passion and desire to succeed without the golden pass that Smith seems to have

Is it bull crap to keep playing lovodua at six, McNamara at seven and McIntosh on the wing when it clearly isnt working .
As i have said before and maybe you in your wisdom can tell us all
What has Smith done to the team Pre Season?

Re: On To Leeds : Fri Apr 14, 2023 8:13 pm

We don't have a 'defence' coach, its Smith who has introduced this new system. Ellis is just one of the coaches, there are no specialists at the club
