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

Torches and pitchforks anyone?

We have seen passages of more flamboyant play, but tonight was back to square one. Mr B and I said we just needed Chris Thorman off the bench to welly the ball dead on tackle 3 and we'd have a full house of all the eness of the last 5 years. It was absolutley diabolical tonight.

I thought we were assured we'd have a new pair of half backs this season

I would stick with the tried and tested masks.

It's cos were simply to slow at the ptb and passing . I'd bring in a handling coach to try and improve this area of our game cos we've been poor in this area for some years now.

cant believe sum on here on about maybe changing the coach, we lost 2 games to the gf teams, easily beat bradford,should have beat saints away,yes tonight was total crap but then to start to talk about changing the coach

I know Gentle planned to become more expansive as the pitches firm up, but they played as though they met each other for the first time tonight.
It was Agar - esque. That bad.

Cannot blame the pitch for been heavy either.

We were also lacking some crazy interchanges & the winger on the bench.

when the team came out tonight i rang my pal and said i don't feel confident at all tonight and can see widnes winning. he said hull by about 30 points then westy scored and i was like OK maybe i was wrong but west hull would of beat us tonight just too many individuals no team work and the worst 7 in history id say lineham was the only one who played with passion
changes next week would be for me
out: SEYMOUR
ARUNDEL
GALEA

id be tempted to take yeamo out as well if we have a young good enough to step up i just want briscoe to get more ball i lose my voice screaming at yeamo to pass to him every game imagine briscoe playing outside Joel moon it would be devastating

in: HOLDSWORTH
WATTS
BOWDEN
GREEN- if fit
CROOKES- if fit

agree with all of that apart from galea, who again tackled his heart out and ran in hard,

Galea was far from our worst tonight although for that drop out he should have gone to Specsavers.

Maybe not tonight, but I'd say it's between him and Pitts as to who has been least effective over the season so far. If Green is fit next week, he picks himself, and it ought to be Galea who loses his place IMO.

No don,t blame the coach, who do we blame for such an effortless pathetic display.
All you Seymour fans .... thanks well done .

Pah, it's only a game.

How about peter gentle masks or shaun mcrae masks

people are jumping on Galea to be dropped but he had a decent game. i think its because of the rovers connection

defeat was bad, yes but lets see where we are 10 to 12 games in before we start questioning the coach

Fully agree. We obviously need Holdsworth to play in most games this season to get anywhere.
