Quote: weaver93 "Its not a Radford bashing at all, its a constructive solution to improve the financial future of the club.
I for one, would be more optimistic about our club's future,
IF Pearson brought in a proven Head Coach, then an experienced player.
As for Radford, he's a good defensive coach.-IMO'"
Except he isn't, 2012 we averaged 23 points against, 2013 it was 21 points against in the league. (Av 27 & 24 for)
The last two seasons under Radford we've conceded 22 points av (Av. 24 points for) and this year 21 points against over 23 games, incl the S8s we are conceding 24 against (with 20.5 & 19.5 av respectively for each period)
So there's no improvement in our defensive record but I guess that was down to our weak defensive right centre last season that the coach & certain fans scapegoated (only we conceded no more on av in the games he played!)
This season up to the S8s we were back where we were and obvs the Radford beleivers will say we've had injuries, playing kids etc as to why we've conceded a bucket load in the S8s (because we never had an injury crisis under any other coach right?)
We've also dropped dramatically in the points we've scored this season.
This isn't Radford bashing these are just pure facts, IMO he's not a particularly good defensive coach over and above previous coaches but he is a micturate poor one with regard to attack.
