Don't doubt it to be honest. I just hope I'm wrong and next season doesn't prove to one too far for him.

As there ever been a defeat this season, where people haven't wanted to strip Radford of his employment?

I can guarantee that we could get Craig Bellemy as coach, and if he lost a game, people on here would be calling for his head.

I think you just need the excitement and drama of coach changes.

Fair points indeed. Our coaching set up is very parochial and I do think Radford & Last would benefit greatly by bringing someone in from outside the area (even just in an advisory role).
The difference between good and bad performances under Gentle was one of the reasons given for his sacking.
Radford & AP both said it wasn’t acceptable & would be something that would be rectified.
Here we are in 2019 and I would say the margin between good and bad performances are much greater then before.
LR openly admits he doesn’t know why or how to fix it so do we just wait and see if this issu just magically goes away? It won’t so will continue to be an issue.
I’m not advocating sacking LR but I do think some serious thought needs to go into getting some help for the both him & Last to freshen up things and solve the great good/bad divide.

Though as has already been alluded too it may well be simply mental issues as the team have shown they can score and also defend very well indeed but too many times it seems to all go out the window and they revert alarming defence and poor execution going forward.

Do match threads go on this long when
We win?

For every Holbrook there's a ragbag of new Messiahs who achieve nothing - Furner, Stone, Cunningham, Sheens, whatever, blah, blah, blah. If the silver bullet coach were such a simple option to solve all ills AP would be all over it.

This is definitely one of the problems with bringing in a new coach. Sometimes better the devil you know. When you're not scrapping to avoid relegation or similar it's a tough decision. I just think the club need taking to the next level now and I'm not sure Radders can do this.

People tend to be working on those days.

2016, won the cup, a game from winning the league leaders shield and minutes away from the grand final, beaten by the eventual winners

2017, won the cup, 3rd in the table, and minutes from the grand final, beaten by the eventual winners.

2018, going along OK, then hit an injury crises, season over.

2019, In the Cup semi final, 3rd in the table. Still on course for the double.

We're competing at the very highest level we possibly can under Radford.

True. Not loads of coaches in SL who've won more than Radford at their current clubs either. You'd have to have someone with a very good track record to justify the risk. When you've been in and around the top 4 (broadly) for 4 seasons and made the cup semis in 3 of them, and other teams can afford marquee players and bigger backroom staff, there would be a risk of going the other way, arguably.

As I've previously stated I'm happy to be proven wrong, in fact I'd be delighted but we haven't improved since 2016 & 2017 and our performances are very erratic. If we don't pick up the cup or make the Grand Final things start to look a little different. It's then a little late in the day to start making changes with the pre-season weeks away and a squad in place.

Maybe other teams have improved?

There's 11 other clubs that all want to be competing for the trophies too, just be happy that under our current coach's regime, we're doing it on a regular basis. We have no given right to be doing so.
