Had a clearout last season.
Don't need class players, to get off the floor quickly.

I don't need to watch it back, I saw it live. Our PTB speed was crap, and has been for much of the season. I'm not saying we didn't get the odd quick one, but overall our forwards were comprehensively outplayed.

| Time for Gentle to go, sorting a Hull side who have been dreadful for years was always going to be a massive task...but it is one Gentle is clearly not up to.
his signings have been poor (Arundel, Galea, Johnson, Pitts are bringing nothing to this side) while good players like Manu & Moa have left. Our attacking play has got even worse than the Agar days, and Gentle just seems like 'Mr nice guy' who is afraid of sorting the players out.
on the radio he sounded in his usual laid-back style and seemed to accept it was 'just another defeat' not understanding what it means to the fans, and how it leaves our season in tatters.
Noble, Anderson & Brian Smith are all out of work and publicially looking for work, I hope Pearson is in contact with them soon.

It looks that way because we did nothing off the back of it.

Thought Johnson was one of a few who seemed to have a real go.

| Recruitment has being poor hasnt replaced the power and aggression that Moa and Manu brought to the team. not having a half back obviously doesnt help but shouldnt stop effort on the pitch

I agree Johnson tried hard, but he is the size of some SL centres, no where near big enough to be a prop.

A vastly overated player imo, Hodgson is a much better one.

Smaller prop, but ran harder than most out there today.

Not the game I was watching, Johnson was one of the most effective and go-forward players we had out there, full of aggression and passion unlike many others.

It looks that way because it was that way for most of the game. On the (very few) occasions we did win the collision, I'd agree that we did nothing to capitalise on it.

| Our play the ball is so slow; we just don't seem to make any effort to get up quickly. Rovers players looked as though they wanted to get up and play it, we seemed happy to wait for the tacklers to clear and then stand up and play it.
We're so static and boring to watch; if a ball is going left or right it will continue to go left or right, nobody comes back on an angle. This ultimately ends up with the centre and winger compressed with two yards to work with. I get so frustrated as we have talent on the wings but their primary role is to make yards on the 2nd and 3rd tackle and never get any running opportunities.
I thought Danny Houghton tried hard today but this crabbing sideways and slightly backwards from the play the ball does nothing for me. If he's looking for an inside runner, nobody else is aware of it and he seems too often to end up running down blind alleys. We had a set in the Rovers 20 in the first half that sums it up for me; he initially ran left then ran right, across from where the ball was played, down the blind side and ultimately ended up passing back to Tickle who was stood stationary just the left of the PTB. It just looked, and was, clueless.
