But yeh, I would drop him for this game. He was atrocious against Huddersfield and didn't want to know (not on his own there by any means). I wouldn't agree that he gives 110% every game, or that he's been our stand out player this season. That accolade goes to Mini IMO. Pryce has had some decent games, but some quiet ones too.'"
I still disagree and believe me I am one of the most calm people you could meet, ask the wife. Er better not.
How often do you read the half backs can't play well behind beaten pack. That was the case last Friday. Plus there were no runners looking for a pass etc etc.
Lets hope we play better tonight and for the rest of the season. I don't hold out much hope. |

At some point a line has to be drawn in the sand and say "no more".
I fear, we still haven't reach that point and indeed I'm at a loss as to what has to happen before people at the club realise the crisis that is genuinely threatening to engulf the club.
From the outside, Pearson seems to have his head in the sand, oblivious to what is happening in front of our eyes. None of us were expecting to be watching a lap of honour around Old Trafford in October, but the slow steady decline in the club's standing which began in 2007 is now undoubtedly quickening in pace. It's there for all to see, except by the decision makers themselves. |

Whether it's Yeaman or anyone else I've had enough of reading how we're not far away and the league is condensed etc. etc. Where is the confidence that 'the squad can be much better' exactly coming from ? As for the idea that we've been playing OK in the matches previous to Hudds it surprises me how they think they can pull the wool over supporters' eyes in such a fashion. We've played OK in 3 possibly 4 games this season - the rest has been below standard - some like last week off the scale. But the real thing that gets me is this idea that our players and coaches talk about not having enough desire and enthusiasm on such a regular basis. Put another way this is actually a pretty disgraceful admission that they are going to work on match day (and therefore more than likely in the week as well) not really being d about the result or their individual and collective performance.
What needs doing is for the players and coaches to collectively shut the **** up and actually go out there and produce to the best of their ability week in and week out. I'll be going again tonight but don't blame others for not doing so - when representatives of the club effectively admit that they're not putting anywhere near enough effort and enthusiasm in from their side then why would they think that supporters must do so ad infinitum?
So - stop chucking the ball sideways to the next man along without committing anyone in front of you. Instead of standing with your finger up your rear make a decoy run when the half gets near the line. Run three times harder into the collision in attack and defence and chase and challenge for the kicks like you see other professionals in other teams doing on a regular basis. Fight hard to get up and play the ball at every tackle like your life depends on it, and back up the forward drives to make the opposition actually make some decisions that might therefore mean they get some of them wrong.
In summary STOP TELLING US IN THE MEDIA THAT IT WILL GET BETTER AND WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY BECAUSE THE LEAGUE IS CLOSE. INSTEAD GO OUT AND REPRESENT HULL FC (A CLUB YOU ARE PRIVILEGED TO BE PLAYING FOR IN ITS 150th YEAR) AT THE STANDARD REQUIRED FOR SUPER LEAGUE. PUT IN THE MAXIMUM EFFORT POSSIBLE WHICH IS THE ABSOLUTE BASE MINIMUM THAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING EVERY WEEK WITHOUT FAIL.
If you do that then you might find that playing at home becomes more enjoyable and the empty seats start filling again. At Hull FC we've seen some brilliant players play for us over the years and there's no doubt that the current staff structure from the coaches downwards is way off the level of some of the teams we've seen in the past. But in actual fact at Hull FC if the fans see the desire and enthusiasm for the shirt and for them then they will support the team through wins and losses. We can cover to some extent for a lack of pace and strike and skill if every man works his tits off for the cause. I don't understand why we're having to ask for this because it should be a given, but putting that to one side now's the time to break out of this morass of crap and start putting down some standards that this great club and its supporters deserve.'"
Succinctly put.

Wilf needs to add this to his blog next week so the players at the club can see it, best post of the year so far.
That my man is exactly right.

Looking forward to tonight, although there will be a mixture of sadness in there. I'll be there in the away end, hoping for a Salford win. Part of me though, won't mind if Hull FC win. My other half's grandmother died on Sunday. She was a massive FC fan and first went in 1927 aged 7. She supported FC for 88 years, and this will be the first game that they have played in generations that she hasn't supported them. For those of you that knew her, Emily Willis was a true black and white. Fitting really that since she had to put up with a Salford fan in the family for the last 13 years, the first game since she died is against Salford.

Not going to quote Staffs FC's post again, suffice to say it is absolutely spot on.
If that was sent to the club as part of a protest I would definitely sign it!
