Quote: Rock God X "I'm not talking about isolated games like last week, I'm talking about performances overall. If we play better across the board, we should win more games - particularly against those clubs not expected to make the top 8.'"
I was talking about those isolated games though. Repeatedly. I think its more important that we close the gap between our best and worst performances.
Quote: Rock God X "That's irrelevant. If we lose narrowly in the games in which we were hammered and win the games we lost narrowly (or some of them) and we get more points.'"
If we finish with, say, two more points next season but finished seventh in the table would you consider that successful or a failure?
Quote: Rock God X "Yes, but so is winning games we have previously lost narrowly against poor teams.'"
I agree that that would also be an improvement. All I'm saying is I would much rather see us get rid of the really bad performances and if we do then I will consider that an improvement.
Quote: Rock God X "Not really. When I say sport is about winning I mean that winning fewer games over the course of a season cannot be judged to have been 'an improvement'.'"
Maybe not in terms of league position but if we are bridging the gap between those best and worst performances then that is an improvement in my opinion.
Quote: Rock God X "More consistent performances should lead to more wins overall. Unless by 'more consistent' you mean 'consistently poorer'.'"
This is Hull FC. We're probably looking at consistently poorer!
