Gentle IN?

Quote: PAUL M "Part of me would like to see Gentle given next season but I also wouldn't be disappointed if Pearson made the decision to get rid now. I'm torn as I really I like the improvements we've shown defensively, although how much credit does Radford get for that? Also Gentle has not been afraid to give young players a shot and we've seen the benefit of this with some of the players that have come through and our now seen as first teamers.

The problem is simply our attack, it hasn't improved in the slightest, we still lack structure and any real kind of gameplan. Our forward don't offload, we still don't support enough and we still don't have consistent dummy runners as part of our attacking structure. We still don't get the ball wide often enough and players in the main seem quite dumb when it comes to making decisions.

I also don't think he has done enough to improve the established players games. Yeaman has shown no improvement and Watts has gone backwards. This maybe the players but I don't see his influence and players showing enough if any improvement.

Also his recruitment has been patchy and this idea of a smaller mobile pack has really backfired. Every team needs some size especially in the forwards, it's a must.

I can remember 3 league games where I have been genuinely pleased and impressed and entertained with our performance. Wire away, Wigan at home and Leeds for an hour. The rest has been fairly miserable and over a season it's just not good enough.

Downside to a new coach is how long it takes to get his team, if the rumours are right and Radford is in line for the job then that transition might be a bit easier.

Either way for me we've not improved this season, we've actually gone backwards and I don't see AP accepting that.'"
