I'm watching it again now, and apart from the diabolical start where we let them score two tries through some shambolic play it WAS an improvement. Not much of one, granted, but improvement nonetheless.
We at least attempted to play with more width, and actually succeeded on many occasions. Our tries were well worked and we actually had players in motion and dummy runners.
In the second half we went into our shells and reverted to more of the 5 drives and a kick stuff we know and love.
Don't get me wrong - there is still [iplenty[/i of improvement required. but I think we made a first, small, faltering step in the right direction tonight.

Pretty much waht we did in the first 5 take a lead and try defend it instead of kicking on and killing the game.

I dont wish to be negative but watch how many times we played the following plays....
1st....... Drive down middle
2nd.......Drive down middle
3rd........Drive down middle
4th........Thorman with that little cut back ball into the opposite direction that gets read by the opposition every time
5th.........Poor kick
Surely If I can see this then it wont take a super league coach long to realise there is not much variation with the FC game plan !!!!

| Get a grip at least we won !!!
After loosing 6 straight games you expect us to be playing like Saints ?
We lost to Salford not too long ago at home so to go to their place and come away with the 2 points is a great result - the perfromance will get better once we pick up a few more wins

No i dont expect us to play like Saints, we lost to Salford before because we were complacent, we scraped a win tonight due to silly errors by them rather than through our own ingenuity.

You're watching it again, I know it's our first win for a while but surely there's something better on

I hope you are right it was sssssssssooo frustrating watching on the box but I do think you could see so many of our problems - No clever scrum half - wide running second row men rececieving the ball from a standing start - and in the case of Manu not on the field long enough - but all in all as the say in the media "a win is a win" and I again am happy as Larry because it is what I live for

I completely agree with that but to gain any type of win wether lucky or not is fantastic for a team on a 6 game loosing streak
If we dont push on in the next couple of games then i will be getting very worried

| Quote: me 'n' our kid "What game was you watching, we offered more than 5 drives and a kick. We passed the ball with a bit more fluidlity, although not at the Saints level but at least we tried something off the cuff and appeased some on here with Horne at FB, and to be honest he was no better than Hall with his kick returns.
IMO a hard won game that should give us a bit more self belief.
On the downside Agar/Sharp are still clueless on interchanges.'"
Of course it wasn't 5 drives and a kick in the first half we put in numerous wide second man plays and looked threatening. Second half less so but far les possession in the right areas to be doing it. People who say otherwise either don't understand the game or would probably have preferred it if Hull had lost.

| Been in Leeds on business all day until late afternoon and I would not have usually gone, but I felt that after the week we had had I wanted to get behind the team and be there whatever happened. It was a win, Richard Horne was good at Full back, we got two points, and I came home happy.
It was by and large poor fair, but myself, Wolfie, Denbo and a few of the other die hard who went, are glad we did! When the good times return and they invariably will, because they always do (Unless some on here hound the board out and our club collapses over night) we will remember tonight and smile!
Lets now see what confidence the team take from the game! A Win is a Win and however poor it was against a team who have had a cuple of good wins themselves of late!
It is the bad times that make the good times good. Hull Fc are my team and I am glad I went to Salford!
This won't suit all the pyriahs on here who seem to prefare it when we have lost and revel in our current plight so let the criticism begin!
