The only option then is to stay on the coach "merry go round" we've been riding for the last 20 seasons or so. We've more than likely had more coaches than any other team in that time. As I said earlier the knee jerking end of seasons have to stop and besides as I also said who are we going to get. I posed a very serious question that no one has answered.

So we should stick with failure in a vain hope it becomes success?
Can't judge Radford yet, but at the end of the season we can (and should), at the moment he's not doing a great job. We're out of the CC and are incredibly unlikely to trouble the top 4, mediocrity isn't what we want. But it's what we've had for a while now.

We're 8 games into a season, won 3, lost to 3 good teams, after running them very close and lost miserably once (again to a poor team). Gone out of the Cup after a very good entertaining game when the difference between the teams was Chase. You call that failure. A youthful team with additions in the closed season still gelling????? Radford has to take some blame for his team selections, especially in the halves. Vain hope suggests it's misplaced, I think it's far to early to have such a negative attitude and it's that which my posts are trying to combat. The only vain hope I have is that Hull FC fans??? will get behind their team instead of constantly bemoaning what they see as FAILURE!!!

Well said bud.

All a bit sensible that pal! Haha.
3games have been lost whilst scoring same amount of tries. Finding our feet halves wise which granted isn't ideal and without being overly dramatic have we not had an injury crisis? Arundel on the wing with lineham colbon crookes unavailable, Ellis been out carvel paea watts was tuson was yet to even have the option of green
We put a regular close to full strength team out we'll win a lot more than we lose, cos the attack is decent enough with a regular full strength line up the defence will improve too. We was always in my eyes need 8 games + to find best form with new coach and players etc. Way it's panned out that may be longer.
RadFord will unless we implode and have a truly terrible time get this year for sure.

The margin of defeat in the matches we have lost May have been small but the fact is we have got 6 points out of a possible 14. By the time Easter is over it could be 8 points out of a possible 20 if things go badly. However if we can beat Huddersfield, Rovers and London things will be looking much better. What is worrying me is that we haven't yet won 2 consecutive games. We desperately need to find some consistency before we start a long run of away matches in June and July.

The fact that we have lost some games by the narrowest of margins (a drop goal last week for example) shows that we're competing well in my opinion and that things look promising. We have two very tough games coming up with Huddersfield and then the derby and need to make sure that we play with that same competitive intensity. Hopefully that will see us collect some points but nothing is guaranteed.

Straight after that we have a banana skin of a game against London. The London game scares me if I'm honest. We must not go into that game thinking that it will be a walk in the park and that the two points are a given. But I fear we will after the Widnes showing. Hopefully lessons have been learnt.

I have to say Standee, you are the strangest supporter I have come across. Surely following your team is through thick and thin. Hell if you really want to know what stretched loyalty is, try following Grimsby Town.

Don`t forget to keep turning those chestnuts.

I predicted at the start of the season... hull fc will not make the top 8...... the squad is poor, too many overrated individuals coupled with a rookie coach and others way past there best told me we was in for a shocking season....and currently ive been proven right......
I don't buy in to all this, "where nearly there" bollox, simple fact is, we lose ALOT of games, wether it be by 6 points or under is irrelevant..... the reason were poor and the top teams win things is because they WIN games by close margins, and we don't...
our recruitment is awful at times, how many players over the last few years haven't seen out there contracts!!! LYNCH,JOHNSON,MCDONNELL,OBST,SEYMOUR,O'CARROLL to name afew who have been released early.....
losses to widnes at home by 0, I might add is woeful, considering theve only been in the league 3 years....and then getting dumpled out the cup by a team scratched together in 6 months also tells me that were on a downward spiral..
people really need to take there head out of the sand, hull fc are a mediocre/average team, simple as that

You predict that every season

so true

GAME, SET AND MATCH TO CCS. Well played that man!!
