so, you think our current situation is acceptable and shouldn't be discussed, on a message forum, which has a sole purpose of, erm, supporting discussion?

interesting perspective, will grant you that

Of course you can discuss. But when somebody joins and all his posts are negative well does make you wonder

as Kosh has said on another thread, people rarely go onto the internet to discuss how great things are, I didn't realise some FC fans were so precious about Lee. Maybe 2nd from bottom is enough for some people, I am not sure.

I really don't know what Yeaman brings anymore. For the last 3 or 4 years we've carried him because we had no-one else. Yeaman was given a chance when he was young, do the same for Lancaster. Can't hurt.

agree, everyone starts with their first chance, in any walk of life

Yeaman has to be dropped, and for me Micheals doesn't offer much at centre either, if he's going to play he should be on the wing. It's not ideal but I would rather put the bin man and Logan there, maybe even Rankin.

Shaul/Rankin
Michaels/Lancaster
Talanoa
Logan
Lineham

We have options. None of them are brilliant but they are all preferable to what we have put out so far imo.

I'd go for a backline of Lancaster, Talanoa, Logan, Lineham. Yeaman and Michaels aren't long term options for the future, so let's start building a team for the future. Sure it might let in a few more points, but at least it has pace and is something different to watch.

Lets hope fans vote with their feet for the Catalan game and send Pearson a massive message.

Pearson already has the message surely? He can't be that stupid. Just stubborn.

Let's hope they don't.

Classic from Mr Radford regarding Hull having little or no territorial advantage against Wigan and having to bring the ball out from our own half. Yes Lee we know ......it's because we are e. Do the honourable thing and leave.

it's not Lee's fault, it's those nasty wasty idjrees....

The message we're not a viable investment?

On the plus side this second half from Catalans is shaping up to be worse than our second half against Leeds.

Eventually Pearson will sack Radford, but I dread to think how bad things would have to get for him to do so. So on that basis I desperately hope Radford turns things around. Next 6 games are massive. We have to win at least 4 of them if we are to have any chance of making the 8.

we're not!

I still believe a decent coach would immediately stop the slide and we'd be top eight - If Radford is sacked now. Leave it any longer though and were done for

With Radford's squad?

It's not a bad squad. There is some dross in there, but plenty of talent too. It could be competing for top 6, let alone top 8, but the whole isn't even half the sum of its parts atm.

Yep, Last years two form half backs, great back row, Two good props (Feka and Paea) and Watts not too bad. Backs not brilliant but not as as some make out.

Were a top eight side propping up the league because of an appauling coaching team

Whilst already acknowledged we don't have the best squad I still believe a change of coach would add fresh impetus to our team and with a few tweaks I think more potential could be unlocked from this team and that we could perform better.

Fair comment - pretty much how I see it.

Next 3 games are massive got to win at least 2 .

Did adam support two coaches at city then sacked them

He certainly did! Brian Little got a call from Adam after City had lost (4-0 I think) asking if he had the team in for extra training, Brian said "its a bit difficult at the moment I"m in Sheffield shopping with the Missus", gone next day!! Phil Brown went when it looked like relegation (it eventually was).
I don't believe he will carry on with Radford if we lose the next 3, it's just not in his character, the writing will be on the wall this Friday if we suffer another defeat IMHO.

What's needed is a clear out, including the owner who can feck off for me. I don't want jobs for the 'lads' on the cheap or just because we feel sorry for an ex player and feel the need to reward someone (whom have being rewarded for their loyalty previously) I don't want player power or undermining of a coach by whomever because some players don't like things because it is too hard or doesn't make 'sense'.
I want people whom can take us forward, professionals who cover all the angles, look at every aspect and players that have respect and work hard, listen and don't mickey off at any opportunity.

Yes the u19s are doing well and yes some of those lads will start to push for 1st team places at some point BUT critcally we do not have the coachng staff to transition them from kids into 'good' SL players.
And despite his 'investments' (and those investments don't just lose capital) Pearson just makes too many critical errors in judgement, costs himself money with his Mr. Hyde attitude & taking us 3 steps back for every 2 steps forward..

It's fooking depressing what a mockery we've become as a club just when I thought things were going in the right direction at the end of 2012..
