His comment wasn't aimed at fans who weren't there today. In fact it's difficult to tell who it was aimed at. And I never agree with a coach - or a player for that matter - criticising the fans for normal fan behaviour. It's unprofessional and always ill-advised. Having said that I wouldn't even be talking about it if people weren't either being outraged by or trying to defend what was said.

Anyway - good win today and Palace beat Man City so I'm a happy camper tonight.

i agree radford was out of order, but in hindsight maybe he regrets his remarks, i hope so, imo he still isnt the right man for the job, but i really really hope am wrong

Well said, Lee Radford.

For saying what exactly?

For calling out the fickle amongst us, if you think it was aimed at anyone who just couldn't go for varying reasons then you'd be mistaken. It was clearly aimed at those who change their mind week in week out and probably mostly at those throwing verbal abuse at players on social media.

Show me a fan on this board who's changed their minds week to week?
Fantastic win for the team today, great game, end to end, but have I changed my mind on Lee Radford? No I haven't, and he did himself no favours today, slagging the fans off, that Mr Radford is part and parcel of coaching, and having an atrocious coaching record, take the flack, like you said In the paper, your big enough and ugly enough to take it, well clearly your not, but someone needs to tell you Ill timed comments like today, will do you no favours with the fans

Why do you think it's aimed at this board?

I don't mind him speaking his mind, it's better than pre prepared media statements, however I think he's massively jumping the gun with his comments, we've acheived back to back wins once during his time in charge, he should be waiting till we've recorded several wins and are back in with a shout of getting 8th before slagging fans off. Also a lot of clubs would love to have 850+ (club website numbers) at any away game, never mind one across then Pennines in such poor form.

Now that is funny.

No fans be it on here or otherwise change their mind about him.
Fans last week were merely voicing their displeasure over our form and current head coach during another abject performance that we've seen too many during his tenure.
A win over saints isn't going to have those same fans this week saying, "You know what over the last eighteen months I've misjudged that Lee Radford. He is a good coach and I'd like him to stay but lose again next week and I'll be calling for his head again."

Sorry that doesn't suit your agenda or the tosh you post at times.
There is no doubting his passion for the club but if things don't change or progress as he hopes his reputation at this club as player or coach will be severely tarnished.
He needs to realise it's not the size of the defeat but rather the manner that has angered many fans and led to this unfortunate debate and situation over his coaching ability and questioning of his credentials as our head coach.
I certainly didn't start out last season with displeasure over his appointment quite the opposite but he's ground my patience and passion right down.

Anyone wonder the problem with our attack... read this.

@MaddyHFC @MarkSDobson we don't run drills unopposed these days apparently, one thing Radders and Lasty kicked out from the Gentle era

Edited: Due to misreading the post.

Indeed it is, I do apologise.

Lets face it to be happier with the situation, to be happier with the coach and the team, 99.9% of fans (be they fickle or not) will need to see a win against Widnes, and from there onwards we need to see a decent result and performance against Sheffield, to then thump Wakey, result at home to Hudds , then at the very least decent showings against Salford, Wire and saints again
THEN if we play at the magic weekend against HKR with passion and a desire to say sorry to the fans by giving rovers a shoeing then and only then i think the last few months will be forgotten
and all the above would be a massive confidence booster for us all i am sure..
Lets be fair we all know were no where near the finished article and in the midst of a building plan but with the team we already have we should be better than this...
Pre season I sat reading about this dynamic squad with so much cover in all areas, yet Ellis twists his sock and were running around like headless chickens..where is this squad we were all drip fed about

You know we have no right to win against anyone these days and thats the way we want SL to be so that we know week in week out we have to be at the gate ready to go and no team is a given win ,

However as fans we have a right to expect
1, a game plan
2, some sense and sensibility on the park
3,humility from the coach when it goes tits up
4m when it continues to go tits up the owner opens the door for the coach on his way out ...
