I don't know if anyone's mentioned it at all this evening, but we're only two points behind Leeds who are in second place. And Salford beat Leeds. At Headingly.



Joking aside, I agree. Not a sparkling performance but an improvement on recent weeks and a small step in the right direction. Sometimes the confidence boost from ugly wins like this can be the impetus for a side to turn things around.

Here's hoping.

I think the Castleford game will be a much better indicator than Salford. A win at Murrayfield might just reveal a few green shoots of recovery.

Absolutely.

and there were moments within the game that made a difference too, calderwood chasing and forcing the error being one of them.

What about in the second halk where Calderwood came out of nowhere running infield to make that tackle?
I'd love to see that again.

SKY+

BTVision....

You wont see that mentioned by the Anger crew. Mention it yourself and they'll call you an idiot.

First of all I called some of the POSTS pathetic and not the posters. There is a difference.

So in your view if you get down (like we all are) about the team's form just post complete garbage about let's say Lauaki not coming and it being announced next week. Total garbage but do it anyway. In my book that is pathetic. Maybe you think it's just fine to post garbage but I don't. As for being more or less of a fan I couldn't give a toss about anyone else's "fan status".

An ugly win last night was all that was needed. We got it .
I thought though our tries were well worked and we spread the ball nicely at times, The silly errors of the past few weeks were cut out.
Even Thorman deserves praise on last nights showing.
I`m no fan of the current regime running the Club. But when the players of Hull FC take to the field I will support them to my dying breath.
Lets get behind the lads now and hopefully take some confidence from last night.

I went, and I thought we were awful. I am a fan and I think we are utter garbage. I accept it but don't like it.

i dont think we played all that bad. There seemed to be quicker play the balls, and at time when we put the ball out wide there were dummy runners and seemed to pressure the defence.

all in all, a long way to go still

Indeed a long way to go. But we must improve, simple as.

But last night we did improve, as was said earlier we were quicker off the line, quicker PTB, thorman actually engaged there line once or twice. 2 of our tries were scored out wide, small steps i know but in the right direction.

I thought we were pretty much rubbish. I wouldn't mind watching it back on the telly though. Then again, I might not bother.

First half is worth watching. Then I'd skip to Calderwood's tackle on 62 minutes and then the final minute for comedy value.

I might just then!

well said

Its been mentioned. The fact of it is we should have only lost the Saints game this year if we had played to our potential in every game. Where would that leave us in the league?

Some people may accept mediocrity and allow our true potential to be masked by average performances and a scrappy win v Salford. I wont.

And starting to call people a crew because they have different opinions to you etc is a bit odd tbh!!

Y'see, this is what I find odd. I don't [isee[/i anyone accepting mediocrity. Being happy that we won and seeing one or two improvements over recent weeks is not 'accepting mediocrity'. Just about everyone, whether positive or negative, accepts that we are a long way short of where we'd all like to be and where we [ishould[/i be if better decisions had been made over the last 5 seasons.

Exactly. I don't understand how "I refuse to accept mediocrity" can be translated into "I withdraw my support for the club". Everyone is disappointed with our performances on the pitch, and can, and do, complain about every aspect of the club on here ad infinitum. Fair enough, but how exactly will withdrawing support and staying away from games like yesterday's achieve anything? Kath Hetherington and the other members of the board will, I imagine, take interest on her loan to the club regardless of our profitability situation so imagining a small reduction in home gates will suddenly influence the board to get sack Agar and offer Kearney a deal compelling enough to drop everything and get on the next flight here just doesn't make sense.

god you talk so much sense mrs b for on here

Yep, agree. We won, did enough to win. But there are a lot of teams who would have creamed us.

And as i predicted, Goulding had a great game for Salford.

And Rovers beat us because Hall had a bad game ..if players didn't make mistakes the sorce would be 0-0 every game .. It was an ugly win that gave us two points and hopefully we can kick on from now
