To be totally fair though very few did call him for a while. And the fans were taking credit for our change in style.

Some of us were actually crediting our senior players for our change in style. From what I have heard since it was the players who instigated that change of style. Sadly we are reverting to type now. We have a coach who simply wants 13 props and second rows on the park and feels brawn is the way forward.
So those of us who blame Radford were still around. Frankly now it's reached the point were I for one can't even be bothered with saying I told you so.
LR has changed the philosophy and direction of the club back to Bradford circa 2002. It's the only way he knows and he has managed to convince the one man with no knowledge of our game, but who controls the club, that his way is best.
The gulf is now bigger between us and Leeds from when AP took over. They were the standard bearer when he took over and still are. Yet we are further from them than ever before. AP went to the play off match against Leeds after he had taken over and said never again.
We have gone through loads of bang average players and now have a bang average coach, but sadly an owner who doesn't want to admit any mistakes.
The only half decent decision AP has made since sacking Agar was to appoint Gentle, who may have had faults but he was taking us places. Wembley and play offs. But LR convinced AP that brawn was the way forward. We now see the results over two seasons NOT a period of 8/10

In 2013 Darryl Powell took over a Castleford side who were languishing at the bottom of the table, had little money or resources, and were seemingly going nowhere. Also in 2013 Lee Radford took over a Hull team fresh from a Wembley appearance and 6th place finish.

Radford has overseen 50 competitive games. He has 20 wins, 2 draws and 28 losses.

Powell has overseen 67 games. He has 38 wins, 1 draw and 28 losses.

Let's not forget Powell' s L**ds days , Then a stint in RU , Then Fev
Radford Resume ... East Hull .

Its clear AP wants us to get worse, "this playing roster is top 4"

Cant see any top 4 club wanting to sign Washbrook

`Questions are being asked. not of Lee, but of myself & the players' !!!!
Does he live in a bubble? - This week certainly is depressing

Hopefully relegation (I think it will happen) may be the best thing for the club now, utterly rotten to the core. Radford is much more damaging to the club than Agar was, bully boy tactics especially with the younger players, players we could have built a team around.

I just hope the fans are not stupid when season ticket time comes around, you'll always get some idiots that don't care and renew regardless, but I'd love see how Pearson would spin ticket sales of 1-2K.

It's not classy, but if Pearson is sticking by Radford simply because we can't afford to pay him off, I honestly think that if he asked for donations from the fans this wouldn't be an issue.

One or two fans only, even on here.

Pearson's comments make no sense whatsoever. Rather worrying from the guy running the show.

Legend and icons
i spend everything on my family and kids. A put away small amounts for my season pass as its the only thing i allow myself to have as its fast becoming an expensive pile of shee-ight to follow.
if we keep radders then more money will be going on them. Which i doubt they will mind after 20 years of season tickets etc

I don't blame the players for our poor performances they are clearly trying, effort is not the issue, poor coaching and a lack of a game plan is.

Sure we have a few players who aren't up to it, either younger players who won't make it, or older players who are past it. But under a salary cap structure noone, not even Leeds have a 'perfect' squad.

A better coach would get a bit more out of the players we have and would get us a 5th-8th finish which most would find acceptable for now. As someone has already posted just look at what Powell has done with a team of castoffs and young players at Cas.

1) Team Selection
2) Interchange policy (or lack thereof)

These are NOT the fault of the players and are two areas which have baffled most fans recently...
OK -some of the player may not have been giving 100% - but its part of Radford's job to encourage them to do so.

So for Adam to say this just goes to show how far away from reality he currently is.

So Mr Pearson its NOT all the players fault. Man up, grow a pair of balls and admit you made a mistake in appointing and then continually backing Lee Radford. Then you might JUSt start to win back some of the fans you currently doing a damn good job of disillusioning ....

SL coaches aren't going down well at the moment, with a few fans for all of the top 3 suggesting they need a new coach.

I don't suppose missing both halfbacks against Wakefield had any bearing on the result.

And Mini, and Ellis for a big chunk of the game.

The four key players in the team. We rely (too much) on them, and when they're missing we struggle.

It's easy to say we should have played this player or that player, but the reaction on here would just be the same if we didn't win.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's game.

Shame there's a few on here think that the end of the world is nigh.

Minichello was missing for a big chunk of the game.80 minutes to be precise.

I know, that's why I put a comma after his name.

So you did,my apolgies

Lets not forget we have had the LEAST injuries in SL this year which makes our failings all the more alarming.

At least 3 wins against massively depleted teams when we are at full strength ( Rovers, Salford, Wignes )

I am huge AP fan but his apparent blind faith in LR is staggering, LR must move on or down but we need proper youth development, Attack coach & some tactics ! Our squad is good enough & effort is there, we should be 4 - 6th material with modest tweaking.

So you reckon that was an acceptable performance given the players available?

Don't remember saying it was acceptable, just that we struggle when key players are missing.

I agree effort is not the problem but the original game plan got us 16-0 up against Wakefield within 15 minutes & without the amount of dropped balls we would have been a lot closer in the Leeds game. The main problem for me is we don't seem to have a plan B when things aren't going to plan.

We're significantly worse without sneyd as we have no kicking game worth talking about. He's not been great this year IMO but is really the only one who offers something different. Must be wondering why the hell he signed for us though

Radford was "out coached" against Wakefield, as simple as that. Questions have to be asked as to why you put a coach in charge of a super league team who hasn't even coached at championship level even!!

£££

Like Shaun Wane, Keiron Cunningham, Paul Anderson?

The above 3 coaches had structures & foundations in place before they became Head Coach.

We've never had that luxury..
