having seen both hull teams this week find that rovers make a mistake all the players are round picking the player up .......hull today player made a mistake and other players went ape at it .....(watch the penelty in firat half for obstruction when westerman went throught the line and miller ran behind him ....weterman went barmy at him)

He said we were diabolical. Don't really understand what we can say? He's not going to slate and embarrass his side live on radio, he's smarter than that. I'm pretty sure he won't come across as calm and nice guy behind closed doors.

I think if anything tonight we've seen that gentles idea of a mobile pack simply isnt working.We need a couple of rough d props that can break the line and mix it with the best of em,nobody tonight did that and once again were out enthused by a mediocre set of players.

Thing is, it was working a month ago. Squad and ability is not the problem, attitude and consistency is.

to many players beleiveing there own hype IMO.....
take o'meley and houghton out of our pack at the minute and were poor to say the least....
too inconsistant, and when you think teams on a limited budget in cas, wakey, hkr are all sniffing around us for a play-off birth, its an embarrassment..
if or when saints step it up a notch, we could quite easily be in 8th place......
gentle really needs to stop makingthe sasme old excuses for me... time to put up or shut up im afraid

Agree with this Jake.
It's almost like 'we were cr@p' deal with it.
I don't particularly want him ranting and raving but it would be nice to know he was peeved with another poor showing and that it's gonna be addressed

Plenty of players at the club with the right attitude,watts,westerman are fine examples of that,anyway whose round is it?

Thing is it's not gonna be addressed. Other than the odd game, last night is pretty symptomatic of the last season and a half under gentle. My measure of a good coach/manager is that he gets the players he has playing at near their best on a regular basis and gentle hasn't done that consistently since he took over.

Last season he had a lot to contend with and did well in shifting some rubbish on. This season he has pretty much his own squad and we look devoid of ideas, lack leadership and direction on the field, our defensive line speed is poor, we lack aggression in attack and defence and the players look like they don't even see each other between games.

I desperately want gently to succeed, but as the weeks go on and we see the same garbage being dished up, you have to start questioning whether he can actually do anything about it. Coaching is more than just getting the best players you can and throwing them together on the pitch each week

I think our lack of size is a factor in that, though. I said in another post that with our relatively small forwards we need them to be at maximum enthusiasm/attitude/whatever you want to call it to match the opposition. As soon as it drops even a little bit we're steamrollered as we simply don't have the muscle to fall back on.

Yep, and tthe sad thing is that your ex-best mate Rich's team wanted it more than our shower last night, it was plain for a blind man to see.
Maybe RA's motivational skills are superior to our current incumbent?

The team is like the supporters on here think should win every thing , giving no respect to the other teams .

Progress would do for me instead of one step forward then two steps back.

I,ve just watched the game again this morning & it's just like watching dumb rugby we,ve been turning out for the last 5-6 years only the shirt designs have changed. Adam is going to have some serious decisions to make before too long if he wants to turn our club into a winning brand.

Good enough to turn up and win attitude, like you've already won or deserve to win. Thats why your fans boo'd, they believe it too. When thats addressed you might get the joy back. Dropping Yeaman tried to prove they need to play for their place. Might need something just as drastic, shame you have Hudds next, not sure anyone can afford to be dropped, pretty sure the fans expect to win this one.

Not sure about egos but the number of individual errors made by players across the team is disgraceful. Tickle has been out a long time but his inability to catch the ball followed swiftly by his inability to defensively line up one on one epitomises the total lack of desire and attention to detail that seems to afflict players who pull on an FC shirt..
