Thank Fukk.

Try going to a game then people may actually take notice of you

We lost to a full strength Wigan team. Who expected us to win???? I know I didnt. He put his strongest team out who he thought was best. What more can he do. It takes time to blend into a team when you are only young and playing a top team. I just wish some people on here would understand that. We arent as good as we could be but we are much better than with Agar. OK so we got thrashed, sometimes thats gonna happen and thats life. You cant expect miracles. I am not expecting anything fantastic this year and to finish in the top 6 to 8 would be great especially with the team we have had to use with all our injuries. Just lets build on this and see what comes of it. Gentle knows what hes doing. Have faith in the guys and get behind them. They will need it.

Absolutely and the one thing we can't say the club aren't doing is investing in the youth. However because of the neglect of the previous regime we won't see the fruits of the good work going on behind the scenes at our youth level for another 3/4 seasons.

Quite right.

Always a write off and wished he'd rested Martin from the off. Knew we'd be a reserve team today and worst case scenario would be shattered condidences of the the young lads. Hope that hasn't happened because it wasn't their fault we lost.

Leeds, however, is a another day. A must win, I'm afraid. Two weeks rest (three for some) several first teamers back, this match is a renewed statement of intent and a cornerstone of our season. Crowds won't return if we lose this too. Bet as far as Pearson is concerned, this is his derby match.

Was saying to my Grandad this morning about the problem we have with Youth.. As you said from the old regime we can only really name one player that's "made it with Hull f.c" and that's briscoe.

They was Hodgson and Hall of course, and a few other Hull F.C youth/academy players, but the old regime must have injected rovers blood into them.

We have some prospects coming through, Niklas, Kent, Bowden, but possibly only one of them 3 might make it, maybe none, but if I was to take a pick it would be Bowden.

Houghton???
Yeaman??
Horne??
C**ke??
King???

What does that even mean? Are you mental?



Is that assessment based on all the times you've seen them play?

'eh


Yeamo, Houghton, Horney...

How could I have forgotten him... I played with him for 8 years, always knew he would make it, surprised Burnett made it though... He would play loose or in the second row with me, use to make strong runs and then when everyone grew up, and the teams got harder he went missing..

I was referring to pmarrows post and i'm talking about the last 3-4 seasons...

sorry

Some people need to get a little perspective.

We are currently 5th in the table with a +48 points difference, even after today's shellacking. We have a game in hand over most other teams, admittedly that doesn't represent points on the board but there's still the potential for points.

We have probably seen more players from our youth set-up so far this year, playing in their preferred positions, than over the last four years. Obviously some of these are not going to make the grade in SuperLeague but hopefully others will, at least they have been given an opportunity to play in position.

Was today any worse than the 6-42 defeat to Hull KR or the 71-0 against the Bulls?

Like you on here then?

AFAIK he's still playing though

Totally agree.

We are a 'work in progress' side, we will see the 'rollercoaster syndrome',from time to time due to the previous regime's lack of investment in youth facilities

I have total faith in Pearson,Gentle and McRae, we will get there, but most of all - we MUST remain patient and keep the faith.

I agree with every word you say cod'ead. I just wish others would as well. Some are just expecting far too much just becuase we started well they think we should be like it all the time now.

I also have faith in Pearson, Gentle and McRae and I am sure that eventually things will get sorted and we will have a good team.

The only doubt I had today was I thought McKinnon was very slow but that could of just been an off day so I am not calling him.

Agar's fault !! I lost £20 at the bookies today, I blame Agar.

Fook off

Thats a bit touchy dont you like losing STILL

Oh look - Wakey must have won a game at last.

Careful how you go, chaps - too much derailment and you'll have a short break to calm down.

Only our 3rd league defeat and 1 cup defeat....hows your defeats record...oh yes...8 and 1...jog on

Is swearing allowed Mr moderator ? Poor show xx

Come on trolling and you get what you deserve IMO.

Just keep telling yourself you WILL eventually be able to play with the big boys, in about 15-20 years when Agar's stopped getting the blame for not filling the vending machine properly in the canteen.

Got more chance than your p1ss pot club numbnuts

On that note I'll make my exit !! haha was good interacting with you delusional people. All the best.
