| After a sleepless night and not because of the heat but a reality that the team i have supported for many years are looking at a possibility of championship rugby .I think the Club is in real danger of seeing its 150th year being the start of its demise.Why ?? We all know what Adam Pearson is like and some of the comments made about him which IMO are well over the top could see him cut his losses and go leaving our Club in real danger.I am not kidding myself that the Club is in great shape its far from that but even though his promises of greater things are as far away when he took over I believe he is a genuine guy who does want the best.I am not going to make any excuse for a really poor result after such a great start but those who feel the short turn around and games in quick succession have no bearing then your kidding yourselves. There was little wonder that many saw this result coming because everything was against us. However we should have been a lot smarter ,our kicking game was very poor and we never put on real pressure in second half once Miller scored I knew the writing was on the wall and conceding early in second half I bet many knew we would struggle . To many players had a poor game and should have a long look at themselves.Abdul without doubt will become a great player but along with rankin gave us nothing in the halves.I keep calling for Harry Tyson Wilson to be given a chance and IMO should have had the opportunity to see what he can do.. With Sneyd back on Sunday it should give us something better.I now go away for three weeks and will miss the Wakey ,Cas and Rovers games and to be honest I dont think I could take mush more humiliation and the way we are going its a distinct possibility.No doubt the calls for Radfords head will gain momentum but we started the game looking that we could get fifty and then we looked ordinary for me thats the players having real doubts about themselves when it gets tough and for me there lies the problem.Whatever happens I will be back again hoping for a change of fortune..we live in hope COYH

| Just for once I'd like to see your name on a post and not expect to see the same apologetic ramblings.
The 4 day turnaround excuse is pathetic. We had no such issues at Easter did we?
And if the other excuse you use of the players mental fragility ask yourself why that is and who's job it is to rectify the issue.
That's right Radford's.
There is no excuse for surrendering a sixteen nil lead against the bottom club none what so ever.
The truth of the matter is the coaching is the issue and is ruining the club.
I'm pleased we are singing big names for next season but the sign of a good coach is how he gets his troops to perform at their maximum not just rely on better players to cover his coaching inadequacies.

It was actually a 5 day turnaround, for both Hull clubs. Rovers, Thursday to Tuesday, Hull, Friday to Wednesday. Do the maths. Exactly the same as doing a Sunday to Friday routine, which most clubs do regularly during the season. So you are right, there is absolutely no excuse whatsoever.

No one bares you any ill will but are simply fed up of the defences and excuses you constantly make for the club whilst blaming the fans for most of our troubles because we dare to criticise the club for its mismanagement, poor performances and sub standard coach.
You have to realise people have had enough of the dross we serve and rightly expect more.
You cannot defend the indefensible yet you constantly try and for some they find it all too bileous.
Its not meant as a personal dig but sometimes you have to admit enough is enough.
Maybe it is you that might need the reality check to see what we are unfortunately becoming as no fan wants to be unhappy and now feel as the majority do.

There is a cut off point were things become unacceptable and as fans we all reach that point but at different speeds. I wouldn't be doing you a disservice by saying you were one of the slowest ones but you've reached that point now.
We all want what's best for the club and get frustrated at others who don't readily share our view point as has been highlighted by some of the digs we have at each other as you have had with me and possibly vice versa.
But ultimately we all want entertaining rugby, value for money, a modicum of success and to be proud to be a hull fan.
To say last night was a new low is again another step backwards as I've never known a season and a half of as many new lows as we've had during Radfords tenure. Yes we've had worse times as a club but in terms of resources now available Radfords reign must now rank up there with the worst.
I won't be going Sunday now, myself and 4 mates cancelled our proposed trip to Sunday's game. If last night was a one off you'd maybe forgive that performance and move on but I'm finding it increasingly harder to do so now such is the dross we endure.
It still amazes me though How hokey can still look for excuses and be so upbeat but to each his own.

| Good post bombed and yes we have had our disagreement s but that's fans I suppose. Think hokey just one of those fans who speaks from his heart and loves the club as most of us do. Hopefully we will see an upturn in hulls fortunes

| does anyone think that the players, aren't playing for radders?
or is it they don't understand his tactics?
or is it they aren't the right tactics to suit the players?
or is it the players aren't good enough?
or is it that radders has taken us as far as he can?
there has been a few quotes from radders that worry me, such as "I don't know how to fix it" and "it cant be fixed on the training field" to name two

| Last nights interview was priceless.
Will be used for management training as how NOT to motivate, poor old Jordan !! Seemed to me everything is players fault,. Wakey 'grew a leg'.
Most worryingly he expected a tight game & to win by one or two ?? FFS confidence or what ??
