| Quote ="Mr. Zucchini Head"It's not that everything goes up the jumper, it's that everything is slow and sideways. It starts with Houghton who briefly falls asleep whilst the ball is being played. Then he wakes up just in time to throw a slow wobbly looking pass to the first receiver, who runs towards the corner flag for a few paces. Then he passes, then the next man runs towards the flag, then we bring through a half hearted dummy runner who fools nobody. Then there's a bit more running to the corner flag before the centre realises that there are more defenders than attackers and we've slid so far his winger is now sat with the fans. So he cuts inside and takes the tackle. Unless he gets pushed into touch first.
It's awful stuff. It wouldn't trouble most championship teams. Rovers never had to scramble once tonight. They knew that as long as no one needlessly jumped the line or missed one on one tackle we would never be able to break them down, and that's how it went.'"
Yeah, that's how it is once we get near the opposition's line. For the first 60-70 metres though it is predominantly one pass, one tackle, one man rugby. Until we're a couple of scores+ down with less than 15 to go, of course.

But I don't mind that because we do make good yards and create field position for ourselves. One man rugby might not be the most exciting thing to watch but it does work if you can then go through the gears when you get in an attacking position. If we manage to get it in first it's a miracle.

| Really awful tonight, totally clueless on attack. Radford has to go and soon.

| Quote ="carl_spackler"I think it's a bit wrong to say Rovers didn't need to play that well, it's more accurate to say that they didn't need to play that long. They put in a good half & pretty much won the game, then just controlled it & played it out comfortably.'"
what i meant was that rovers made quite a lot of errors and turned the ball over to us on halfway or just inside their half several times. despite being granted this useful ball we did nothing of note with it in attack, and even the try we scored from a rovers mistake was highly debatable. as one other poster said, as long as rovers didn't make any one on one missed or misreads, they were never likely to concede
its quite shocking though to think a team playing us only has to have one good half (and leeds did similar) and they win the game comfortably

| Look, before tge game i said, rovers will score 20+.. history states this season that they will.... we wont score 20, and history states weve scored 20 only twice this year if my records are correct.... its no surprise to me that we lost, we was lucky to score 6.... scorless AGAIN i 2nd half, and without a rovers mistake, we'd have scored 0 tlinight

| Quote ="Hasbag"Never been so bored at a rugby game. We are the most clueless team in attack of all time. No options, no dummy runners, nobody running onto the ball or even looking like they want to take it in. Got fed up of watching Westerman run across the line offering the ball and nobody putting their hand up to take it in. I can't remember a single kick of ours that even made it over the try line. You can't win a game by continuously trying to barge over the line, unfortunately as we have no idea what to do with the ball, it's our only tactic.'"
Hit the nail on the head there.
Radford should walk. You can take the lad of east hull but you can't take the east hull of of the lad.

| Sooo predictable. Repeat sets, totally blunt in attack. Some comical PTBs. Keep thinking we're rock bottom but a way to go yet I feel. Was Pryce's "try" even a try?

| That was right up there with performances from the Peter Walsh era.
We are absolutely awful and the book stops with Radford, that play in the second half, 15 metres or so from their line when Thompson drove it in on the sixth summed it up for me, completely clueless.
Or how about near our own line when the ball was played and we nearly lost it because Houghton had his back turned chatting to another player.
Or how about Cunningham been kept away from dummy half and was basically stood like a spare part not knowing what was going on. I could go on and on.
If we can see it why can't Pearson? The entire coaching staff should be fired after that inept insult of a performance.

| Could hear Radford shouting from where we were sat, he was fuming. We must have the flattest attack in the league. No depth, too predictable, every set finishing off with a high kick. Shauls break was the only entertaining decent bit of play, the rest of the attack was awful. Could hear Radford getting angry over rankin for opting to kick and not attack the line. He slammed his fist onto his table as well later on in the game

| If it wasn't so tragic it'd be funny but we got the penalty in the second half on their 20 and after 5 tackles we were back on the same spot.
I lost count of the number of times we ran it on the 5th and turned it over easily

Noticed that too. Very poor. He was almost pushed away at one point, then got ten minutes and was off again. Ridiculous waste of a bench spot.

So its the players then.
At last we know. Bawl them out, arm round the shoulder the, drop them.
We've a squad of 32 and even with a couple of injuries, I expect a whole load of changes for Monday on the basis that the players aren't performing

| And how many of sets of six in their 20 did we have where a forward was at first receiver? Ridiculous.

| Since I moved back to Grimsby, and witnessing previous "performances" I decided to save my money and watch it on the telly.All I can say is thank ferk I did.Halfway through the second half boredom set in by the way we were playing.I even went to put the kettle on. Talk about clueless,even our try was a dubious decision.I am black and white through,but even the most passionate fan must be despairing by now.Ah well,I will see if the other black and whites manage to get into the football league.

First half won it. HKR kicked that goal, cue in the rack and toyed with the opposition like a glorified training session saving themselves for a tougher game on Monday.
