The two are not mutually exclusive you know. My whole point on this thread has been that our squad isn't as good as some seem to think, and therefore when you remove 9 of the better players from it you get results like today.

Honestly, how much of an attack did you expect us to have with Niklas and Ellis as halfbacks against Wigan's defence?

| I think Standee is right.
You lot having 9 or 10 players injured, replacing them with very inexperienced youngsters against an in-form Wigan, is NO EXCUSE.
Rovers are winning though.

If there position is "Half back" they should know how to play, at least do the ing basics, let's be honest, they can't even do the basics today.
Even our starting half backs ain't the best, and in patches our team lacks the quality needed to be a team that can win stuff, and be consistent week in week out and take on the big boys.
We've only proved once again, how much depth we lack in squad, get injuries we are buggered, but even still, I don't think the scoreline would have been different today (maybe by a few points) if we had a full squad playing.
Because we just cannot match the big teams, we have never been able too. Only under sharp, and kear for 2 seasons then we was back to being on average team.
That's why I was honest this season, and was getting shot by everyone on here, we are a long way off, it's not coaching, it's the amount of dead wood/e we have in our squad..

Bradford lost 54-16 at home against Wigan with fewer injuries than we have today. They also lost 38-18 at home against Salford.
It's a blow out now, mind.

Sorry I thought you said fans are "happy" to accept mediocrity. One man's excuse is another man's reason. Some might say your reasons are also excuses. I agree with you by the way we are carrying some poor players and it will take time to resolve for the reasons I posted earlier.

When your winger gets MOTM, in which his opposite number scores a hatrick you know you have been bad.

All the knowing how to play in the world doesn't help if you're not good enough.

Fair enough, should done a bit more research.
What players are back for the Leeds game?
Horne, Yeaman, Seymour, Turner and O Meley?
Would make us a lot stronger.

Apologies, I should clarify, there are far too many FC fans who seem happy to accept total mediocrity, like the people that applaud "local" players regardless, we were crap last week and again this, I don't blame Gnetle/Pearson, they inherited a largely below average squad.

Maybe you could list the post applauding the result? I seem to be unable to find any.

| It will take a couple of years until an injury crisis doesn't affect us as much.
We've had years of next to none of the youngsters getting any game time, and a coach who would rather play people out of position. Now all the injuries have come along we have to rely on young kids who have no big game experience. Gentle has already shown he is willing to address that. Like I said, it's going to take a couple of years (at least) until the youngsters can come into the team (if they haven't already got starting positions) and beat the bigger teams.

Think you'll find that the people who signed Ellis are no longer involved with the club. The same applies for the majority of our squad, good or bad.
Gentle is doing the best he can with what's available. The problem is that a fair few people seem to have thought that Agar was the only thing stopping us from storming the top 4 when in fact there's a huge job of work to be done.

| Am I the only one in here that thinks Kosh is totally deluded?!
We was comprehensively beating today with 8 of our first team players playing.
3 players missing in key positions, horne, seymour, yeaman... and we get absolute drumming...
How the hell can Hull fans be happy with that!

apologies, I'd credited you with more intelligence than thinking I was always responding directly to your posts, I'd forgotten your arrogance Kosh.
I must remember, mods are always right, even when being myopic and moronic. my bad.
