I thought the majority of the blame he dished out fell squarely on the players. It was a concern though that he didn't seem to know how to address the issue.

| Can't really add much more to what has already been said. It's just frustrating beyond belief. Not just Hull FC but I'm becoming more and more disillusioned with the game as a whole and it's something I never thought I would say.

Likewise - the thought of slogging back up the M1 on Friday night again has never been less appealing.

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'"
Crowd are poor at home, Radford is right. But the team over the last 5 years have bored people into it. Today, not one song in the first half. Nothing.

me too, the attitude problem seems ingrained in the club, different players ,different coaches, even different owner!! same problem.I have no idea what the solution is, hope there is someone out there who does,but really disillusioned now!!?

Please explain your answer and show me were in the past I have asked for coaches to be replaced in these circumstances. If you can't see Radford is out of his depth and making mistakes after mistakes, then you are blind.
I wasn't convinced that Radford was the right man for the job when appointed, as he was too inexperienced for this type of position,but was willing to give him a chance, I'm not saying he should be sacked, but maybe someone brought in to support him.
See as you are so knowledgable about Rugby, please give me the reasons you think Radford is the right man to take Hull forward?

| Another defeat on Friday and 6 games away from the KC with the possibility of winning 1 will see a few more fans drifting away imo

Radford sounded like a guy totally lost and out if his depth. I'm all for honesty in a coach but some of the barbed comment re players won't do him any favours in the dressing room. I was doubtful at the time he was experienced enough to take on the job but was willing to give him benefit of doubt. Looking at performances and his interviews his inexperience at this level is a telling factor. When are we going to learn the giving assistant coach after assistant after assistant is what the club needs. What it needs is a head coach with experience and proven track record.
His interchanges at times have been agaresque & we simply can not back up any kind of performance.
My biggest concern from the interview is he said that he knew from the London game when he took Westy off that we lacked a lot without him on the field so they'd worked on it in training.... Well what exactly have they done on it in 2 weeks as it looks like no plan B.
To have a 16 nil lead and blow it in the last 25mins is unforgivable and the blame lays with the Coach & players. They just allowed Wakefield to bring them into a physical rough house style and capitulated once wakey scored. Something we have all seen too many times before.
Questions need to be asked if the whole lot of them and rightly so.
Noble is not the answer either.

| I can't believe some people are on here agreeing with him to a certain extent regarding the crowd.
People were initially singing but it made no difference to this boring game so they gave up. If the players are going to display no energy or enthusiasm why should the crowd sing and cheer.
The spark has to come from the team, they're proffesional sportsmen who surely realise this, so to blame the crowd is desperate to say the least.

| To say "I don't know what the answer is" as a coach, just shows how far out of depth he us.
Pearson wants to have him in his office tomorrow and make him give him the reasons why he should to kept on and how he will turn us around.
Nobody expected a top four finish, but there should be improvements or at least the same level of performances on last season with the squad we have IMO.

| I think that most fans of every club in every sport would say that they want to see a winning team. But I think most fans are also realistic enough to know that that isn't going to happen every week. What fans do want to see is their team giving it their best effort every week even if they lose. I don't feel that we're getting that at FC and I don't think we've been getting it for a long time. That has me quite disheartened.

I thought the forwards did just about enough today although there is a lot room for improvement there. Hadley needs a rest for me and it looks like Tuson is out again. For me our halves are distinctly average. How many proper chances on the outside did our wingers get today ? Meanwhile Wakey's nippy players carved us up on our right regularly in the last quarter. Even Washbrook capitalised on it. Not good enough behind the scrum - it took one of our hookers to score and another to create a chance. Our third try was a mile forward but at least Shaul did create something.

To be fair to him, the same inconsistencies and attitude problem has plagued many a coach before him and will probably be just as much of a problem for his eventual successor so I'm not surprised to hear him say that he doesn't have the answer. Does anyone?
What does bother me is that results wise we are not any better than when Gentle was in charge. We're probably worse (someone might be able to tell me if we are or not). Performance wise our attack looks better (most of the time) but our defence (which Radders was credited for last year) has gone to pot. I am far from convinced that Radders is the man that should be in charge but hope he can prove me wrong.

Maybe it's someone who's followed his club through thick and thin and has had enough. Don't know that, but Radford needs to concentrate less on what the crowd is doing and focus on sorting out the ensuing chaos on the pitch.

Thick & thin means bad times too..not take it out on the chairman who has done good by our club.

Not often I agree with you but that kind of reaction aimed at an owner trying to make us successful is bang out of order.
Not sure why Radford felt the need to mention it in a radio interview though. Other than he does like to get a dig in at the fans whenever he gets chance.

Yes, he has, but the fact that someone has done that to him, wrong as it wa, should get him to think as to the reason why. He was one who said let's do everything local and unfortunately it's being found as not the way to go, simply because Radford is not good enough in any department to be a head coach at a super league club.

| The high point of Radford's radio interview was claiming Leeds defensive structure is rubbish but they win by being more enthusiastic........ brilliant Leeds are so successful because they try hard.
Here was me thinking that having a backline which would be the envy of plenty of nrl clubs and having the best players of their generation in other positions had something to do with it.
Boy is he out of his depth. Then he probably was by the time he got to primary school.

It's disrespectful to AP. The full contracted staff need to have a look at themselves & start to play with pride in our clubs colours..people harp on that the culture at our club is poor..westside was 1 of the worst for this he's totally changed & I think this is a case of not respecting the teams we are expected to beat.

A Wakey team put together on a shoestring budget missing some of their best players. Sounded like the team that wanted it more won.

That's ultimately what it comes down to. We have proven that when we play the big sides we are willing to leave everything out there to get the win. But when the small sides roll up we seem to just go through the motions and expect to win, all sides do this occasionally, but when it happens so regularly you would think we would learn our lesson. Leeds (just to use them as an example) seem to turn up with the same professional attitude whether they are playing Wigan Warriors or Wigan St Judes. We just don't seem interested. It's as though the players think they are above playing against teams like Wakefield and Widnes.

Didn't say it was right. Just smacks to me of Radford trying to deflect the attention onto the supporters and away from a shocking defeat.
He certainly didn't offer much in the way of analysis of the events on the pitch. Was embarrassing to be honest.
Want him to succeed but I have a feeling its not going to end well.
