IF Radford can keep us plugging away with wins that's great, not ideal but winning is the name of the game, the test is can we keep winning on the back of our game plan and the players we have to ensure we make the top 8, if we don't then Radford has to go. If we can't kick on and make top 6 by the end of the campaign that's a failure. YMMV.'"
I think we all agree that if we miss the eight then Radford goes. Until then countless posts and threads or petitions are pointless. We need to get behind the team.

I've started one thread mentioning the petition, I can't speak for others. I just say it how I see it, if I'm happy I'll say, if I'm unhappy I'll say, as a fan I've been very unhappy how things have gone of late, not just in performances on the field.
So when you have posters on here baiting, deriding, name calling etc because one voices your opinion on how things have being going it pretty much makes you want to voice your opinion even more so even if that is seemingly negative, it only reflects how you feel about the situation at hand and the performances we've being displaying!

| Radford said he was working with the players to improve our attack and our attack improved. I hope this is a sign that he's getting better as a coach. He is a rookie and is learning as he goes so I'll give him credit for the win.
On the radio they said that after they went ahead in the second half he ran down from his vantage point to give some emphatic instructions. Whatever he said it seems to have worked so I'll give him credit for that too.
I haven't forgiven him for the Huddersfield game just yet though.

In the radio interview Radders said he needed to go to the loo - nothing special about what he said apparently...
Maybe he should go to the loo more during games

Hang on a minute, are you accusing me of starting things, I've had my name mentioned in threads in a derogatory way that I've not even commented on ffs, people calling me mentally deficient and so on and you yourself one of the many instigators try to point the finger at me?
Ha. We score whenever my brother goes as well. If the two of them synchronise bladders we could make the play offs.

| To be fair to Radford weve managed to start doing what we wanted the team to do which was win the close games. 5/6 wins even if most performances have been a bore fest is still good going so we seem to be finding consistency.
Now we need to announce Paea re-signing, Taylor and that Yeaman is not getting a contract and even ill be happy!

Hopefully this is a sign that Radford/Pearson have finally got their heads around what has been the issue for a lot of the fans. It's not just been moaning about some poor results, it's that we've been poor to watch. Show commitment (which they have) and try to play enterprising rugby (which they haven't) and most Hull fans will stick behind you regardless of the rest.
Oh, and show us a bit more respect and be less confrontational. Most of us are smart enough to understand what we're seeing so don't try and fob us off with nonsense, and as hard as it is, don't react to the minority who go too far and blame the fans for team/coach failings.

| Yes for me the win today although great and well deserved one win doesn't change all the rubbish over the last season and a half. We have been here before were we think we've at last turned a corner only to see the team flatter to decieve and unable to back things up and produce on a consistent basis.
I must comment on Radfords seeming change in attitude during his interview as he sounded like he has either realised he's been an idiot by his unprofessional manner and gastigating the fans or he's been told to smarten up, as he was quite gracious about the fans.
For me though even taking this win into consideration I don not feel Radford was or is the right appointment for the club at this time due to the lack of experience he has at coaching this level and also the state of the club after years of failure and the years under Agar.
