You wouldn't know irony if it bit you on the bum.
You're a poor man's Standee. Which is pretty embarrassing TBH.

A yes Standee, another long-standing poster and fan who doesn't bother anymore...if you actually attended games you'd notice there's quite a lot of long-standing fans not bothering anymore.

| Our defence has not improved in 3 years. There really isn't anything else to add.

| Quote: UllFC "Spent most of the last couple of years telling the cuddle crew on here that Radford isn't up to it, and getting constant stick for it.
Yet here we are 4 games in and already the 'nearly men' still making the same dumb mistakes, and the same baffling last tackle plays. Its a well-worn script that we all know the ending to...a mid-table finish and out of the playoffs/middle8's at the first opportunity. We now face going to an in-form Widnes team and their plastic pitch and having to pull of an unexpected win to avoid 3 defeats in a row.
The frustrating thing is we are not a bad side, I still feel we will comfortably make the Top8, but scraping in to the 8, winning the odd Derby game (against a Rovers side that have been similarly mediocre for years) and having the season over by August is far far from where this club should be given its resources, and the strength of the squad.
This season more than ever it is frustrating because Leeds & Hudds have been well off the pace, and even the other top sides such as Saints, Wigan & Warrington have been grinding out results rather than dominating games. There is more of a gap than ever for a mid-table side such as ourselves Cas and Catalan to make a step up and take a Top4 spot. Only a bit more flair, tactical ideas and less errors would see the team right up near the top of the league. We also have one of the smallest injury lists in the league at present, this is the full-strength team and its still not cutting it it in 'big' games when it matters.
Buck stops with Radford he's had 3 years with this team, has spent a massive amount of cash paying of players and bringing big money signings in...yet for me we are still not substantially better than we were under Gentle. Stick a decent coach in side of this team and narrow home defeats like the last 2 weeks become wins.
With Radford out of contract at the end of the year I can only hope that as he becomes cheaper to sack by the week Pearson sees sense. Otherwise it'll be time for Pearson to be out with the begging bowl to shift some passes for another 'new dawn' next year before we know it. Pearson needs to act now, act fast and save what could still turn out to be a good season.'"
You're an absolute prick! Great game, great performance only let down by one singular individual error. If you want more than that, go and support Barcelona you nauseating bandwaggoner!

| My feelings about Radfords suitability are known, but we are 4 games in. It's massively disappointing to lose how we have the last 2 games but we aren't out of things and we have time to make changes.
We can get back to winning ways, there's nothing to stop us from going over to Widnes and getting a result.
However much we want to give the same support Pearson has shown to Radford IF after 10 games we are not improving, that we are still losing close games then something needs to change.
In my honest opinion the quality in the team will and does get us to a certain level, however the differences between winning the close games, players not having 'brain farts', being able to deal with high stress/mentally difficult situations that ultimately wins you games is down to the coaching.
So far we've had two good wins and two dissapointing but close defeats. We don't need to hit the panic button just yet bit the signs are worrying as the mistakes have a pattern that we all recognise

Nope, you were [idesperate[/i for a downturm in fortunes so you had a reason to come back on here after your dummy spit. Phoney poster and phoney supporter.

| Frank was in the bar before the game and gave a speech, I wouldn't have thought he would had done that if he had a fall out.
As for the OP, a bit pathetic to come back on here after a defeat, but offer no praise for previous games, even Seb and Knocker manage that, we can do without fans like you.
We are certainly better than last year, if that is enough, that is still to be seen.
Need to win the next three games IMO.

Agreed Dave. We need three wins or we will be getting adrift from the top six. From Easter Monday we have a tough set of fixtures (I imagine Huddersfield will be back on form by then).
Five from seven would still be a good start to the season despite two disappointing home losses.

| I still think there are things to be positive about and am still backing LR at this point.
Positives for me:
For entertaining rugby
Forwards
Never giving in, last season the last two games would have been easy away wins.
New signings, really impressed with Taylor and Manu, Washy has impressed and still think Carlos will be a great signing, has been very well watched. Frank will also come good when the weather is better.
Houghton and Shaul have been excellent.
Goal kicking.
Areas of improvements:
Discipline
Using our brains and not panicking
Closing a game out
Goal line defence(particularly the right side)
Use of subs
Consistency of halfs.
We have been lucky with injuries so far, they are starting to come, so it could be a good test of our squad.
Big three games which will test the team and coach.

| We are far better than last season, but not quite there yet. Dumb error cost us what would have been a good draw in the end. Dumb errors cost us against Cas.
I for one though am enjoying the games these days, which will do for me.
Good game, unlucky in the end to come away with defeat

If you think that Standee''s absence from this site is voluntary then you really haven't been paying attention. Probably too busy wallowing in self-pity and stroking your e-peen waiting for the chance to launch a ridiculous thread like this one.
The drop in crowd numbers is hardly a closely guarded secret and has been debated on here at some length. Something you might have been aware of had you not flounced out in a sulk declaring your intention to never return. Odd how that decision was reversed as soon as we had a couple of defeats. And yet while we were winning you were nowhere to be seen
Pathetic behaviour.

Excellent point about enjoyment, the last couple of years I have been bored at games, certainly not this year, all games have been enjoyable to a point.
If that first play had come off it would have been a different game, we would have never tried that previous seasons.

IMO you should unban Standee, let him have his say. It did provide some enjoyment.
