Quote: Khlav Kalash "It doesn’t buy him any immunity, the fact that since his arrival the club have improved year on year until this season provides the grace afforded to Kear in the eyes of some fans.
It may be he has hit a wall as it seems things are not getting better and the players are still making the same mistakes they were at the start of this slump, but in my view his has earned the chance to resolve this.
One thing is for sure we won’t see it this season which is now a write off. Even if the club pull off a victory against Saints they will come back down to earth with a bang against Huddersfield the following week.'"
My comment was in response to the "game, set & match" one above - it was said as though there was no need for discussion. I agree that the season is almost a right off (but really do hope we are both wrong and we pull something from the bag) - but I differ with you over the steady improvement.
I think we have stagnated for at least 2 years now, we played teams at the right time last year and accumilated points early doors before going on the midseason slump - and showing ourself up in the play offs. We got to the semi final of the cup (through the luckiest draw possible) and again failed to perform.
Kear has brought in the personnel he wanted and for one reason or another we are now in the lurch.... 1 man takes responsobility for on field actions and just as he deserved all the praise in the world after the great escape he deserves to be under the microscope when things continue to go badly.
And don't forget he seems to be throwing his hat into the ring for coaching jobs too, so the loyalty card is questionable - it has to work both ways.
