Quote ="Erik the not red"The problem with Hull this year is they are doing the opposite of a champion team, who manage to scrape a win when not everything is a going right. This year Hull have had an uncanny ability to do just enough to lose. With their points difference they should be looking around 6th and comfortably in the 8 but they just keep finding ways to lose. There have been some gutsy efforts against the better teams (Wigan excepted) which if replicated against the lower down the table ones would have seen comfortable enough wins, but no, the team magically adjusts its performance down to squeeze out a loss. What is particularly frustrating is that well into the season we still have no hint of any settled combination or who is the best player for a position because of all the chopping and changing, injuries not withstanding.'"
Good post...... That is because Radford still has no clue who his best players are, and without a settled squad/13, there is no chance of the combos you speak of ever becoming 2nd nature to the player.
To me it seems that as soon as a player, who is not Radford's mate or purchase, has a bad game or speaks out of turn in class, he is dropped. I'm not saying let players continually perform crap or get away with murder, but we need to have a settled squad for anything to happen on the pitch.
All about man management and I feel that Radford has none.
