Backs are too slow and used as forwards, we have a great pack, so why are the first few drives always by our backs, look at the stats, our forwards aren't doing enough work.
Whats happened to our attacking play that we saw in the first two games and pre season, last night all we did was try and barge our way over. The set just before there last try at halftime was embarrassing.
Last night and and the Cas game we have got a lesson in good halfback play, I have always stuck up for Sneyd, but he just isn't doing it (Although it isn't helped with snail wingers), but we don't have anyone better.
Use of subs, why leave Frank on for so long when he has been injured and take off Manu and Ellis off.
Our defence has been good the last few years, what has happened this year, everytime we a team gets near our line they look like scoring.
Dont get me started on handling kicks.

Not read the last 9 pages, but it's hard to stick up for Radford now, that was as bad a performance for 70 minutes as I've seen in the last few years, doubts have started creeping into my mind about Radford during the Wigan game with his selection and use of subs, which he got all wrong.

Not really sure what the answer is, as if he gets the sack, who will come in and it's a case of starting all over again.

Bit fed up and getting a bit bored with Hull.

Its not a case of starting again, to be fair on Radford, hes built a decent squad. We just need someone to coach them

Dave, I heard his absence last week was nothing to do with being "injured".

When (and before) Pritchard arrived his Instagram account was buzzing - updates all the time.

Last two weeks? Nada. Not a single post. And he really did not look himself at all last night. Where's his trademark grin gone?

If anyone was in any doubt about our coach now is the time to wake up. We were completely outcoached last night for the third week running.

Betts who is not exactly the most well thought of coach outside of Widnes had us totally sussed last night. Slight change in his plans as Radford decided to mix the pack up a bit. Why the hell he had Mini on the bench at the start I would love to know. As a result Mini never got going once he was on.
I think Radford thought he'd be clever by having Frank on from the off "they won't be expecting that, aren't I clever chaps".

We are woefully poor on the flanks. Logan (has great potential) but christ he is NOT Yeaman. He shoots out of defence so many times. Has done all season and YET he has not had it knocked out of him yet. Who is coaching him? This in turn makes his winger look poor.

From the expensive play of yes a friendly and then Salford and Catalans we now have a 5 drives and a kick policy. As has been said Bradford circa 2002. Awful awful awful.

Last night showed what we can expect in the summer when the grounds are hard and fast. We will be shockingly exposed due to this inane policy of having 6ft giants across the park who are only capable of battering through the middle.

The only way to prevent that from happening is to have a dramatic change of policy. That team last night were carrying out the instructions of their coach. Pure and simple. Its his tactics that are being implimented. Betts saw through them. Wane and his kids saw through them and Powell once again outfoxed him. I can guarantee we wouldn't do to Catalans and Salford what we did to them a few short weeks ago now.

Mr Pearson does not have many people queing up to buy his club so he only has one option. That is to use what he has delivered to the best of its ability. He has listened to the fans. He has delivered a good squad. All he needs now is a coach to bring the best out of them. So long as he persists with Radford we will forever fall short.

I won't even comment on players locking the coaches out of the dressing room. That should not happen at any level of any sport. Disgrace.

They give us all the tools to go out there and perform and we didn't do it last night.
We didn't do anything we spoke about in the build-up and that's something we need to address."

Kind of loses the point he was making though.

Re: Enough is Enough : Fri Mar 11, 2016 9:23 am  

Who do you drop for the Wakey game, based on last night could be a few?

Sneyd, but we have no one else
Logan but we have no one else

I'd certainly look to bring in Reece Dean who has a bit of zip about him, in place of Abdul who looked lost last night.
