i think the bloke is out of his depth. He identifies the problem, but cannot identify why his ridiculous bench selection created it. This is all about him playing the players he signed because thats what he does irrespective, its what he was renowned for at Hull and its the same here. He started a season without enough props, no goalkicker, and half way through brings in a centre where we have ample options just to kick goals. We still get steamrollered up the middle and on the off chance we get a try at least we have a goalkicker......not clever enough Agar. Look at the majority of his signings and they have been poor most of the time but he continues to run with them. Please leave before you undo all the hard work put in off the field.

But if we sack him you have got to trust the bloke who recruited him on a three year deal in the first place to get it right this time and find a decent coach. I seem to remember there was a strong message sent out by many supporters not to sign agar and they were never listened to. What makes you think people will listen this time.

IN agar we trust, i bet aiton was delighted to be put at prop.

Aiton is never a prop and the 17 should always have 2 genuine props on the bench no matter what in the modern game. It makes you wonder whether there is a fall out behind the scenes and thats why Johnson is on the bench. Either that or he is about to go to another club imminently mid season and so couldn't be played due to being in the process of being sold. Sorry but I am still struggling to put any logic to the team selection.

We were always going to struggle against Saints but having AMOR, RALEIGH, JOHNSON and JAMES as our props with possibly KIRMOND, MARIANO and WALSHAW/WASHBROOK as our second row was a must with this particular game. Its a struggling squad made worse with poor squad selection IMO also a key player like Aiton will get injured playing him out of position.



Kear & R.A. have worked together before at Hull can't they do it again?

i wasn't at the game but listened to it in bits on the radio. i wasnt aware Aiton played prop, if this is true then its pure lunacy

We owe you a lot for taking him off our hands, the bloke's a turnip.

Think Hull will bring a big crowd to your place, and give Agar the greeting he deserves

Take a look at Agar's CV and then ask the same question. The last place Kear would want Agar is guarding his back, he's been there before.

Agar used to put a winger on the bench at Hull, then put him on for the last 5 minutes - a bit like under 11's rugby.

You guys do have some good, young players, but i think to get the best out of them you really do need someone who knows what they are doing. We are delighted that we have Gentle now, the confidence he gives the players is outstanding. I cannot imagine Ben Crooks looking as assured as he did on Saturday night if Agar was in charge. Mind you, he wouldnt have even played him!

And is still doing the same thing with mellars. Wasting a bench spot and sticking him on for last 15mins of a Dead game

i did tell one of your fans that you would regret getting agar

I know this post has been going on a while but I just wanted to add that I couldn't agree more. I think appointing Agar shows a huge lack of ambition, (the only showing through out AG's time here, everything else has been spot on) I honestly think he doesn't understand how to use forwards to win a match. Look at Hull's pack last year: O'Meley, Radford, Westerman, Fitzgibbon, Manu, Luaki, Tickle, Washbrook.... AND HE STILL MANAGED NOTHING WITH THEM!!!
