| I don't think many people care anymore.
I was devasted after watching a team play nal who on every position have better players but because of passion and pride was never out of the game until near 120 minutes of football.
The current coach and players at fc are meaningless.
Apathy is rife amongst a large majority of fc supporters.
Leeds next ouch.

this is the way of the forum nowadays i'm afraid, once you could have debate with a bit of light hearted banter on here, now all you get are aggressive insults. it needs sorting or even more fans are going to stop using it

| anyway back to the topic - we've got a run of 5 away games coming up. lose them all and we will be in a relegation fight. however well we play in these games, coaching is a results based job nowadays, however much effort the players put in, so we need to look at turning form round and winning at least 3 of these which will put us in a better position for the run in. it will also be a chance for radford to show us he has the ability to cut it at this level (ie. turning round a poor run of form, changing tactics, motivation etc etc). my personal view is that we will limp along with players coming in and out of the side from one week to the next and carrying on with our plan A tactics. i look forward to being proved wrong
what we really need is a complete change with a head coach coming in who is given the budget to put his own coaching team in place and do what he sees fit with the current squad, even if this means upsetting people who have been at the club a long while. i would love to see something like this happen but don't hold out much hope

| I couldn't care less whether Radford is moved out or not. What will stop me going very soon is the club's inability to employ half backs capable of running the game at this level. Put Burns and to a lesser extent Keating in our team today and we win. Simple.
I'm not setting out to diss either of our young halves but they must be two of the worst in the league - especially Miller. We don't need development halves we need established halves. Most of the halves I saw in the other games today were better than ours. Brown is no world beater but he's way better in class that ours. Horne has been slated for years for offering a kicking game like the one we had today but he's shot now as well. Getting Miller and Rankin in was the wrong choice of recruitment and it's costing us big time.
Change the coach - but get some halves otherwise we'll be here in another 12 games time on a new thread calling for the next one's head.

A better coach may be able to get the best out of our halves, I've got no faith in radford and how he gets the best out of the players.

| Radford is going knowhere it's obvious.
AP hasn't the time in his busy schedule of trying to buy a football team to interview for a head coach.
Slug is gone so AP is even more clueless and that's saying something.

The halves aren't good enough.

I think his hard man approach initially upset a few , after what radders considered a too soft approach from gentle.
Management is difficult thing when things are not going to plan , and his autocratic style has not gone down too well , and some of the players basically can't really be bothered now. Or so i have been informed.

| Radford may as well stay; the chances are the next coach would be more of the same in one form or another so why bother? Let’s keep Radford and just have lower/more realistic expectations. You never know maybe one day one of the good coaches may have a momentary lapse of reason and/or gets desperate and gives us a go.

I have said a couple of times now, Hull FC should go all out to try sign Sam Powell from Wigan, this kid always rises to the occasion.
He was England Academy halfback when they flogged the Aussies, England Knights man of the match when they flogged Samoa, man of the match v NZ Warriors. Unfortunately he injured his ankle after that and is just coming back now.
The type of player you could a club around. Tough and a great defender, everything Miller isn't.

| Quote Bombed Out="Bombed Out"People don't mind the losing it is the manner.
We were never really in this game even with 13 men all we did was flatter to deceive.
There is no style or structure to our play. We either drive it up or pass from one side to the other with no dummy runners no 2nd receivers. Last time we were this poor and this debate caused such a rift between our fans was under Agar and that's currently what we look like, his team again.
I wanted Radford to be a success but it has just not happened. There is no improvement in play, no team development for the better on offer.
Sometimes a coach has to work with what he's got but he can't seem to get that extra out of them or get them to buy into his ethos whatever that is.
He has to maybe swallow his pride accept for now he's out of his depth and further develop himself as a coach either as an assistant or in the lower leagues as Cooke is doing.
I do want a change of coach I'm bored and fed up of what is being served up on the field and am becoming worryingly desensitized to it all where I'm questioning renewing my pass for next season and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
And again no need for the earlier insult to the other poster that was offside.'"
Excellent post which I agree with you 100%.
