Where was this fantastic fanbase when gateshead thunder moved their business to hull and took you over. Surely with a fanbase of 10,000 how could you be skint or have they just joined the band wagon since you moved to the KC. ??

Quote: carl_spackler "If Gentle can do one thing it will go a massive way to convincing me he's the right man

This sums up ,one of our major failings in a nutshell.

We dont need quality players,to get a quicker play the ball, Gentle told the team at HT against Wakefield to play the ball quicker.

Any coach, would identify our weaknesses, and try to improve this PTB issue,and perfect it through practice.

Are the players responsive to Gentle's instructions? this is the biggest issue.

Our players are far too lazy to get up off the floor. Only O'Meley, Linham and Tickle i can actually remember trying to get up quickly. Briscoe fannies about getting tangled up to win penalties, Watts gets turned on his back far too easily and Lynch is like an old man with a slipped disc

Ellis always fights to get on his feet for a quick ptb.

[b:1g6itio7][color=#000000:1g6itio7]Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.; [/color:1g6itio7][/b:1g6itio7]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_663.jpg



It does not matter how we think he is doing the stats prove things are not right at FC. We lose at Cats and thats season end in reality and another season fades into the past on a sour note. Season pass sales will fall liek a stone next season the newby fans we have picked up since we moved to the KC will continue to drift away.

I always stated this season was make or break for FC and Adam is going to have to pull something massive off, player wise to come even close to the dissapointment factor now rising yet again on the terraces.

Gentle has already admitted there is a problem behind the scenes and for that admission alone I think he has lost some of the players confidence.

Perhaps its an Aussie v Brit faction................

More on the coaching/management side than the players I'm led to believe.

I doubt the club are in a position to do this due to player availability or salary cap, IF Gentle is still in post pre-season,
How will the club sell its season passes to remain,at previous season sales?

Its a massive 6 weeks ahead for Peter Gentle's future at Hull FC, Pearson said he wouldnt accept mediocrity.

If true haven't we been here before with the old player power issue raising its ugly head. No matter what you think of Gentle and his ability, when a club appoints a manager they are the only thing that matters when deciding how to play and how to manage. If the players have an issue I would rather they toe the line and have respect for seniority and put a shift in during training and games. These issues always resolve themselves any way, it would be ridiculous to not expect Adam Pearson to have an understanding of issues going on, and when the time is right he will take the appropriate action.

I think he's hinting at a McRae/Gentle issue, rather than 'player power'.

If this is the case it shouldn't be effecting the players, it is a Gentle / McRae issue. By letting it effect them they are indirectly displaying player power. Does this mean they prefer McRae to Gentle as the way they are going they will get Gentle the sack. That's not exactly backing a manager they believe in.

Wouldn't disagree.
Players are employees and should get on with what their paid to do.
Maybe too many chiefs are spoiling the broth, don't know?
One things for sure, a winning team makes a happier club.
I don't wanna see PG go, continuity is always preferable and more rewarding than chopping and changing but we've got to start improving on the island (EXPRO icon_biggrin.gif ) or things will only deteriorate.
