I'd say much worse

In his last season we were the second highest scorers in the league!

How long do we give a coach? A year and a half to a one obviously!

Obviously talk of sacking Powell is a little OTT bit I can understand where the anger and frustration is coming from.

At the start of the season we looked like we'd solved some perennial flaws - poor goal line defence, lack of go-forward and ill-discipline, but the team of the last 7 rounds is nearer to the disaster of 2022 than the new dawn of 2023.

Team selections are increasingly baffling, but we are still joint top and have it all to play for. But make no mistake, we are in a slump and are regressing significantly.

Some much needed level-headedness on this thread

If you'd given Fergie a year and a half, he'd have been out of a job before arguably the greatest managerial realm at a club. Same with Arteta and numerous others.

So who would you bring in then?

Signed and is playing Minikin, plays Dudson over Bullock, doesn't play Lucas Green, gets rid of the league's best hooker, makes Ratchford captain. I'm not one for knee jerk reactions but if we don't win the GF I want him gone

Can he challenge for a high ball or put pressure on a kicker?

If so, sign him up, just keep him away from the cheerleader girls

Good post.

Hopefully we can deal with this slump. If prolonged, then alarm bells will start to ring. Powell and the squad need to be given chance to respond though.

Going back over 30 years to a different sport to prove your point!! And if you actually want a name, I'll start with Shane Flanagan.

Can anyone argue against any of this?

I could take it if Hull were decent but even by their current mid-table position they were not good. We have six positions that need sorting and I’ll say it again we will NOT be a top drawer side until Ratchford has gone - he is a millstone.

Our next three league games are against the teams currently in 10th, 11th and 8th. We really need to win all three.
