| Quote knockersbumpMKII="knockersbumpMKII"PG was a better coach IMHO.'"
Peter was a nice guy, we all wanted him to succeed, he tried his best but wasn’t good enough at the end of the day. He built a ‘small’ squad and we ended up getting bullied plus he left us in a right state salary cap wise.
Singed bang average players on massive wages: Miller crookes, Pitts, arundel, holdsworth. His first off season signings were terrible.
We got the odd win against the likes of Leeds and Wigan but we we’re nothing special. We never looked like seriously challenging for either trophy.
Yeah he got us to Wembley, but we we’re never going to win in a million years.
It took Radford a good 2 years to sort out the deadwood and hammer home his ethos. 2014 and 15 were tough, I wanted him to go. It hadn’t been that long since the dross served up in the Agar era, and no one wanted to go through that again.
Then look at his recruitment for 2016 with a bit of spare cap space after he got rid of the average Gentle players. Pritchard, Manu, Taylor, Fonua, Tuimavave. Slowly but surely he turned us around.
Since then we’ve had 2 top 3 finishes and 2 challenge cups
We’re modelled on the successful Bradford team that Radford played in. Is it glamorous? Not really. Does it get results? Seems so.
He’s now developing and bringing the local players through nicely. Some of them may have made their debut under Gentle but the development of the likes of Masi, Green, Bowden, Shaul have improved no end.
The club has gone from strength to strength each year Radford has been in charge. He’s a winner. Gentle is a nice guy. |

Don’t get me wrong, I would like Budgie from the pies, or Tom Johnstone from Wakey, but it’s a fine balance, Rome wasn’t built in a day.
As for the Loiners surely a great team in decline |

To be fair, wasn't it Dane Tilse who managed a whole 47 meters in the "20 nil up" game...
55 meters is a positive for rovers  |

|  6 Quote knockersbumpMKII="knockersbumpMKII"because Radford/the team make the exact same errors time and again, you yourself touched on that in your assessment of the game.
Like the 'advice', I've tried to ignore childish and abusive posts by not responding.
I've given LR plenty of credit, so you're a liar, I don't hate Radford I think he's gone as far as he can with his limited abilities, won't accept his limitations nor inability to address the same issues that crop up without help from elsewhere. PG was a better coach IMHO.'"
Didn't you say Radford had taken us as far as he could before he coached us to 2 Wembley wins? |

I'm pretty sure we beat 3 of those 4 on the way to winning the cup last year |

Wigan's backline is pretty rapid, but man for man I doubt our 1-7 lacks pace compared to the other 3. Cas certainly don't have many speedsters. |
