You could have any coach in the world but with the attitude we seem to have within the club it wouldn't make any difference. Ellis, as good a player as he is he's not a captain. I couldn't believe the lack of motivation when they gathered under the sticks after conceding tries, very poor. first time I've been for a while but nothing changes, save my money in future until the culture within the club changes - I'm not holding my breath.

I'm livid that Radford has the cheek to blame the crowd and lack of atmosphere for this display. The cheek of it.

There is something wrong, we don't have a player who can shut out a game and not panic on the last tackle plays.

If I had to come up with the answer to that dilemma I'd say we need to go out and get someone who can do that, but apparently the answer is to change the coach.

Not looking forward to the next6 (?) games away from home. Be surprised if we pick up 2 wins.
On the plus side, as a non pass holder, it gives me 6 weeks to see if there's any improvement before I pay £23 to watch that crap again.

It's obvious our main tactic involves Westerman, so surley it's the coaches fault for not having a back up plan if he gets injured etc.

Terrible team selection again, he has made mistakes in just about every team he has put out this year. To not play Whiting and Carvell is poor, I honestly think he was saving them for the Wigan game, which was a huge mistake.

I think it's time for Pearson to act and bring in someone more experienced, no problem with Radford staying to learn his trade.
I'd also say our fitness is the worst it has been for years, how many games have we lost or failed to win in the last 10 minutes.

It's as simple as this mate .... Get a player with good game management and we will be a top 4 team I have no doubts about it . We've got the forwards to match any team in the league but we lack any organisation/attacking structure to finish off possession

Mr Pearson splash the cash and go get Dobson ASAP

I agree with yo, Radford was out of order using that excuse and needs to look at himself. He sounded like a condemned man and so he should.

If i wasn't a pass holder i'd be seriously questioning my enthusiasm to attend another game.

As some have alluded too Westy would have made no difference today as he was also reslonsible for the 5 drives and a kick.

Too big a job for him , l'm afraid .
Too many wrong squad decisions for a start . Why leave out Whiting ?

The answer is to change the coach because the coach is hopelessly out of his depth. We also need a top play-maker/leader, of course, but lack of one is a poor excuse for coughing up a 16-0 lead against a crap side like Wakey. We have players who are capable of winning games, but their attitude is inconsistent, at best. Part of that has to be down to the coaching/management of the players.

Not a Hull FC fan but "radders" seemed to lay part of the blame for your loss on the crowd?


Not on that surely?!

Shocking to blame the crowd, the pay on the day fans have shelled out for a succession of home games which have been average performances at best. I dont blame fans for staying at home.

First time ive ever heard our fans boo the team during their lap of honour too, if that doesnt fire them up to do better then they should find another club

Maybe thinking way too far ahead here, but does anybody have an idea of how Farr of HTW is?
I've never seen him play hence why I'm asking.
I quite like Rankin, attacks the line and does the running game well, but neither him or Miller are the general we need. Horne is too injury prone to rely on week in week out.
Hearing massive hype over HTW and it's going to be a long couple of years if he's still that far away from been ready.

Can't believe he has blamed the crowd, need to take responsibility for this loss aswell as the players.

Wrong team selections week in week out, poor use of subs, fitness issues, poor tactics.

Nothing to lose, but Miller will be dropped this week and Horne back in.

I'd make a move for Tony Smith, looks like he needs a new challenge, reckon Warrington would let him go. Proven track record in SL of coaching a top side and winning things.

How bad was gentle to be sacked? surely his win ratio with cup games will never be improved this season or next ! his replacement was the man he trusted most to instil order to the camp yet had one eye on his job ! he was a good clean family man with no shady involvements ! he did not have the luggage of coaching a team he never supported as a kid ! and was ex green and gold assistant coach with good pedigree ! maybe mr pearson was ill advised somewhere along the way??

Good shout, but Wire have deep pockets if they want to keep him

https://audioboo.fm/boos/2129968-hull-f ... rsidesport 100% agree about the crowd , I grew up watching a pretty average side at the boulevard but one of my biggest memories of that time was the noise the crowd made . 10/11k at the kc and you can hear a pin drop . People need to get behind the guys in black n white IN ANY KIND OF WEATHER

Best part of £65 to come down and watch that dross, we looked like schoolkids making elementary errors and not understanding that just keeping it tight against Wakey would have seen us win at a canter, we didn't need to produce much outstanding today.

I'm not a Radford fan, I've made that clear, he isn't the man for the job and thus it has always been..however the thought process of the players to come up with stupid plays that are going no-where, lacking thought about positioning in defence and not being able to stop their offload is just crazy.

Yes the crowd was really off key today, not a single proper rendition of Old Faithful..I've never experienced that in 36 years of following, however players should never ever need the crowd to inspire them. They are professionals, they have set goals/targets for each game, each 5 or 10 minute stint..to lose after being 16-0 up is frankly a disgusting insult to the fans.

Honorable mentions to Crookes, Thompson & Azza

Lost to Bradford today, so no point taking him because if we lost to Bradford with him in charge you'd be asking for him to be sacked.

Gentle wasnt the answer, neither was Agar, neither was Sharp and apart from the cup run and the odd shock result neither was Kear.

time to stop messing about appointing unproven Assistants and get a proven Head Coach in

You let a good one in agar go.

Reckon they might want him out with the way he is going, maybe they need a fresh start too.

He is the coach we should have gone for, really made it worthwhile.

Wonder If Cooke coming on board in some kind of capacity would make a big difference, I think it would.

We certainly need some kind of change on the coaching side.

You can read my mind can you?

Agree with the point in general, but 10/11k? Those days are gone, its 8k but announced as higher and dwindling each week now.

The way its going the infamous 'pay little rent for crowds below 7.5k' KC deal will look like a good peice of business!
