Think he'll aim higher then yourselves, if he was to leave.

Whilst Uncle Kaff & Co. would have been happy to scrape into the top 8 each year, I can't see Pearson being satisfied with anything other than pushing for top 4. Not much chance of that on tonights performance.

GENTLE OUT AGAR IN. !!!

Hate say it but you could be right...Sts would be my guess unless he doesnt want to upend his family...is he married?

let me rephrase, he wants top 4. Which is an owner saying he expects top 4.

I don't think a new coach is what we need at this point, and I am willing to give Gentle longer to sort it out.

bringing in a new coach would mean another year/year & a half of 'transition' and we've been there too many times over the last few years.

gentle needs time and a 7 get him a 7 the whole team performance and winning rugby comes imo

Sheens is after another team after the world cup ,By then we should know whether Gentle is up to the task.

That's what I mean, genuinely think he is by far the best SH in the league only rivalled by Scott Durea(s?). He is that good, you'd have Wigan, saints and even possibly Leeds after him. Dread the thought tbh

Errrr....wasnt we trying to do that in the off-season.

And I thought Sandercock was dejected last week.

Makes our decision to go for Croker even more bloody weird.

Don't think Gentle's job is in danger just yet, and neither should it be. I would like to see that he's taken steps to address some of the issues in our performances before next week, however.

Seymour, Arundel and Galea must be dropped as an absolute minimum. I'd be tempted to add Yeaman to that list as well.

Lets see what he does for next weeks game.

He needs big balls to do that but i can see where your coming from.

Time for a change says Gentle (maybe not Nicklas though!) www.hullfc.com/article/24167/gen ... for-change

Both Cookes & Green were carrying knocks and we had fully fit players so that is why we swapped them, good on Gentle for sticking to his gun about not playing players not 100% fit.

Yes it didnt work but we the fans have been moaning about playing not fit players for years.

An honest question, how long is Gentle contracted for,? paying him off early could be an expensive option, plus, who would you get in to replace him at this point in the season?.
Top available coaches are not exactly in abbundance at the moment.
'

Rovers are not on the brink, they are paying fees for players and bringing in loan signings. Hudgell would never sell us Dobson, so it's pointless to speculate that he might.

I wouldn't get anyone in to replace him. I've just said I don't think his job should be in danger.

Nope. It's an owner saying he wants top 4.

Look, I appreciate you want to spin this but unfortunately for you Pearson did an interview on Hull FC Live this week where he made his ambitions pretty clear, and he is not expecting top 4 this season.

Seymour would have to go before we could bring in Dobson even if they'd sell him to us.

Green, Crooks, Holdsworth back next week as a minimum. Gentle needs to give them a game plan that they can bloody keep to. All fans want to see is some simple aggression in both defence and attack. Whiting seems to be the only one who wants to hurt them in tackle and drive them back, we need get a bit nasty! Also want a media ban on the inane 'were starting to gel as a team' crap that the players keep spouting. Rather see a blanket ban and let them do their talking on the pitch!

Still not seen much evidence of a more flamboyant game plan. How long have we been using the inside drop off ball for?. That's been our major move since the Spider Walsh days!.

errrrr yes and we was unsuccessful in doing so that would not be gentles fault and like i say if we had one it would be a final piece of the jigsaw we need a leader and 7 who dominates games we haven't got one give him one and we will see a transformed fc imo of course
