| Quote: Chris71 "Here's a question for you taking out injuries/suspensions for the minute would honestly say that the performances over the last 4 games have been good enough and to a satisfactory standard?'" Well let's do a little five game review.
Leeds away. One of our greatest victories of all time on that ground.
Hull KR home. Short turnaround, always an emotionaly different game, Rovers had a real dig at ud, but we got the job done.
St Helens home. Best team in the comp, we matched them well in the first half, we gave them cheap possession by kicking the ball out on the full and the good team that they are punished us for it.
Wigan away. A bit of a flat performance by us, but even so we were still in the game for most of it, they took their chances better than we did on the day, maybe due to them being that little bit more crisper with their passing.
Catalans home. Dominated possession and territory early in the game, but couldn't register points, got caught with two tries against us against the run of play, then put 24 unanswered points on them, then the players decided they'd won and put the cue on the rack. We composed ourselves again to take the lead with 2 minutes to go, and then a freak of a player came up with a big play for them.

A good politicians answer there but not actually answered the question I posed.

| Quote: Bombed Out "The thing is with giddyupoldfella I've noticed is that he will always enjoy the victories as we all do but look for justification for our losses and poor performances.
It's almost if injuries and suspensions only effect Hull.
We are spending way over cap, have recruited some real quality but yet still churn out performances like yesterday.
It is just history repeating itself with the same old failings.
The playing personnel have changed several times in Radford's tenure but yet our playing style, fitness and mental fragility have not.
Time for a fresh start but unfortunately Radford seems to be made of Teflon. Always the players or fans at fault.'" No, if you have been reading, I haven't said that injuries only affect us, I also pointed out times where injuries affected St Helens, and I can add Wakefield to that, who were looking a good team until the lost the likes of Johnstone, Tupou and Fifita.

Just seen the stat of home wins/losses since June 2018
Won 9 out of 25 home games since June 2018.
In those wins, 2 have been against Rovers and 1 against London when we were winning 34-0 at half time and were hanging on in the 2nd half

Indeed, Quote: Wilde 3 "HDM When the heat is on, FC can’t stand it and that needs to change quickly'"
THAT sums it up.

So basically we have only won a 1/3rd of our home games since June 2018, loosing 2/3rds? That is a very poor stat and ultimately damaging to the club in terms of regaining and growing the core home support.

| Quote: Mr. Zucchini Head "So one good performance in 5 then.'" Maybe, but two victories on the board, in a a fairly tough opening run of games, where we've only been able to manage having 5 players ever present, 6 with Lane.
In the next 6 games, we have Wakefield, Salford, Huddersfield, Rovers and Toronto. The first five favourites for the wooden spoon. On paper, a much easier run of games. We also play Wire at home. It certainly looks like an opportunity to put a fair few more points on the board. And if we can do well over the next 6, we'll be pushing at the top end of the table, where we wanna be. So let's see where we are then, before we press the panic button.

Indeed it does but can we honestly see things changing quickly when we have seen this for the past few seasons now, when little if anything has changed other than players? I can't see much changing at all.

Well despite what I want to happen I can't imagine that Radford is going anywhere yet. So lets see what happens across these next 6 games. If we win 5/6 (or better) and start putting together some 80 minute performances then maybe we can reevaluate. 4/6 is the absolute bare minimum requirement from those fixtures. Anything less than that and the season is as good as dead and there will be not much point making a change until the end of the season anyway.

This is an area Pearson should be looking at when deciding Radfords future.
Just how much money have the club lost in gate revenue with having such poor home form.
So many times we have had the chance to grow home gates and then produced rubbish on the field.
This season was ideal to pull back some walk in fans after the Leeds game but the club have blown it again.
