Win as many as we can, play well in the matches that we do lose and I'll settle for that.

Ill quote myself

There is no way Radford should be sacked or even judged at this time, big improvement this year and playing decent rugby for their at times in years.

Saying that we have to start winning again or come Easter he could be in trouble.

Did you go last night Seb?

No mate was working. Really wanted to go as i thought we'd win

You are lucky to have a job where you can not only listen to the radio but also have the time and ability to post on an internet message board.

2 things:

1 match winning mentality
2 Defence

Neither of those have improved nor have we obtained in last 3 seasons with Radfud

It's been time to move him on for a long long time.

In soccer he would be in the Conference at best

In Adam we Trust

... odd how the loudest critics don't actually go to games.

Indeed.

I have been one of the biggest critics of Radford but this season i have seen the improvement in the team he promised and i have to say we have been unlucky losing the last two games.Its the disappointment that kills us fans when we pull ourselves back into the game to take the lead only for a mistake or penalty in the final minutes to take the game away from us.
Yes there is work to be done but we have only played four games,and we have seen how good we are when confidence is high and now how we are capable of coming back into the game after conceding early tries.
I am still of the opinion this will be a good season for us,and i have seen nothing in any other teams to be afraid of.
One concern i have is Pryce and i just hope Radford insnt afraid to drop him out of loyalty like he did with Yeaman.

I live in Australia so it's damn hard. I actually went to Wakefiled away in July 2014 when we drew. I have never known an away following so quiet as FC were that day.

I also bought a season pass last season as a sign of support for the Club and Adam.

Anyway using a small type of Money Ball analysis and there are a couple of issues that bother and intrigue me.

1. Where you are after 9 rounds is almost where you finish the season. You can usually hope for an improvement of 1 place + or - and that's it. The notable exceptions are very very rare. Look at our next 5 fixtures and you could guess where we may be after 9 and also 11 games. We could easily be 7th after 9 and 11 games. Take the emotion out of it and you'll probably agree.

2. Defence - like it or no we haven't improved since Radfud took over.

4 games in - points conceded

2014 102 points 2 (H) 2 (A)
2015 82 points 2 H 2 A
2016 87 points 3 H 1 A - also arguably the easiest draw of matches of the last 3 seasons

An average of nearly 22 a game this season and 3 of theose games were at Fortress KC.

I had money on Hull to beat Wigan by 6 or more so I live in hope

Like the Moneyball analogy.

Early days, but adding some more basic facts, compared with last season's regular fixtures we a have won two, lost two but improved our points difference.
Salford (H) Won 42-20 (2015: Won 24-20)
Cats (A) Won 38-10 (Lost 14-20)
Cas (H) Lost 23-31 (Won 40-14)
Wigan (H) Lost 25-26 (Lost 12-4icon_cool.gif

So same points achieved, but with a points difference of +42 v -12.

I agree that it's too early to call for Radford and have said before that we should have an initial view after Easter Monday, which is 8 games in and is close to tying in with the above forecast.

Out of interest, two key themes of frustration appear to be our defence and the ability to close a game out. Defence can be partly mitigated by attack and so far this season we have demonstrated an improvement in our ability to score tries.

However, the real key to improving our season will be the ability to close out games. Last season we 7 out of our 27 league games finished with a +/- 6 point result, of which Hull won just two of those games. Converting games like those five narrow defeats into victories will be what determines our league position.

Ironically, one of those 5 defeats last season was a 13-12 reverse at Wigan. Whatever you think of Wigan, they have always had the ability to win a game, regardless of their performance and in part, means they usually end up competing for honours at the business end of the season.

So you're admitting you posted on here whilst driving or did you pull over to post messages?

I said beginning of the season I just wanted to compete and be entertained. Well up to now we've achieved that . disappointed to lose last 2 but could of just as easily won them and a lot of people on here still would be in hiding. I find it amazing all the doom n gloom merchants was quick to state you don't win anything after 2 games but can access were we will finish after 4 games.super league much like the premier league this year with good teams having poor starts and lower teams flying.i thank god some people on here have no influence on our club as the knee jersey reaction to every defeat or victory is embarrassing .
