Either litten to FB and McIntosh on the wing or Wynne to FB and keep litten on the wing if Hoy out

Did Houghton pick up a knock? Dwyer looks absolutely shattered but he's still been kept out there

Not sure if he picked a knock up or not, think maybe more a case of Smith just not wanting to put him back on. To be fair we were better with him off the field. Said before Houghton should have been honest with himself and the club and called it a day at the end of last season as he is spent.

Yet again though the game is gone in the first quarter of a game and then we don’t start to wake up until the 2nd half. It’s just not good enough and it’s down to a lack of any real desire and poor attitude. We look like group that is not in harmony at all.

Changes need to be made to that squad asap as we really will be in relegation trouble with what they’ve served up so far. There’s something rotten at the core as no excuses for the sheer lack of effort, desire or commitment.

If we're going to add size to the forwards like we should be for next season , Then there will be no place for the likes of Fash , Brown , Cator & Lane . They get out muscled and bumped off far to easily .

Re: On to Warrington : Sat Apr 01, 2023 2:08 pm  

Don't see what size has to do with it. We had Satae, Taylor, Evans and Andre out there today in the pack and they're all big fellas. I think it comes down to how good you are rather than size.

Re: On to Warrington : Sat Apr 01, 2023 2:23 pm  

Or how much you want it for your mates in the team and the fans on the terraces attitude and application today was terrible. How many of us were relieved at the score in the end?? Worst FC team in the first half of the season I have seen for decades. AS Chris says We are in big trouble at the bottom of the table for sure. I feel for Smith because he has inherited some poor signing and a culture that has been self perpetuating at the club for years now. All we can hope for now is that Rovers get the kick off time wrong and don't turn up till 3-00.

Clifford and Hoy are absolutely dreadful

I think this is the lowest I've felt as an FC fan, usually I ignore the pre season hype, but I'll admit falling for it a bit this year with a new coach and a few exciting looking signings but now I just feel at a loss with it all.

Most fans feel the same but whilst the players have to take responsibility i am sorry to say Smith has done nothing to enhance any part of play whilst he has been here.
We are not up to standard in fitness and speed which was said to be a deliberate policy to try and cut down on pre season injuries but seems to have backfired
The defence,line speed and structure is non existent.
Today once again we tackled as a three but fell off tackles and its so easy for the opposition to offload,yet Warrinton tackled us with just two which highlights our lack of forward intensity
When you look at the new coach at HKR he has come in, got them ultra fit from hard work pre season and worked on defense yet we now have the worst defense i have ever seen from a Hull Fc team.
Really not sure now that Smith is the man to take us forward.He lseems to lack any passion and is too laid back given the difficult position the club is now in.
This continued use of Lovodua at six when its clear to see its not working is behond belief.

Peter Stirling and Brett Kenny in their prime would look sh!te in this team. Another busy body pops on the forum to give his tuppence worth, shock horror.

Re: On to Warrington : Sat Apr 01, 2023 3:06 pm  

I was casting my mind back and reckon this lot are as bad as the team that played under Len Casey.
The players are taking the P*ss !
