Nothing wrong in my eyes. He's a good coach and Pearson said he'd like to have a run in the cup and a crack at the playoffs this year. People are quick to get out their pitch folks and fire when were having a bad spell. Would so many have been crying if we had lost the last 3 to Wigan Leeds and Warrington? I doubt it very much. I also think its disgusting to boo your own team off the pitch. No player goes on to play badly or lose a game. I have no doubt they will turn this around and finish well. A lot of hard work is required and a bit of the luck we had in our good run but im sure it will come. Won't stop me going to the cup game in Catalan. Thats the problem with a lot of FC fans, its not the players that are arrogant, its the fans. Our fans think they are owed a top 4 finish. Get real and get behind the team instead of creating a culture where defeat is met with rapturous boos and slagging off of coach decisions and instead rake defeat on the chin withbthe fact we were not good enough and have faith they will put it right. I think the Exiles game came at the wrong time for us. We needed to get back on the horse straight after the Catalan game but had to wait nearly 2 weeks. Im sure this had a bearing on the players mentality and theyre still suffering slightly from that. Im sure a hard week and a decent performance against the Gianta awaits.

Your entitled to your opinion but I think there is something wrong..

It's not as if its a "one off" that we played badly, it's most games, we have played more bad than we have good this year.

I can take a loss like most people but its how we are losing that's annoying.

And with regards being owed a top 4 finish I think most fans expect to be in the top 6, you can't really blame the fans when AP and PG told us all how good a team we are and that AP himself expects results.

To be fair, the team never got jeered off after the Wigan defeat. It's the manner of getting beat that hurts the fans.
Hull fans are passionate and they can't have it all ways.
I'm sure AP will be equally unhappy with the performance. I hope he is anyway as he doesn't seem to be someone who settles for mediocrity.

Do we do 'mediocrity'?
Very good or dog turd has been the way forward so far this season.

Still I dont believe the players want to lose or advocate booing.

I think the fans vent a lot of anger because of being stuck in a rut with the previous regime. They are never goung to be won over until we win something. This sort of tunnel vision doesnt help. They are the ones who think they are owed something. We all pay our money / buy the shirts. And ill continue to regardless of form / table position / coach or management team.

What they are owed is a performance commensurate with the collective abilities of the players on show. If they don't receive that, it's up to them if they boo.

But happily clap and whoop and holla if theyd have scored at the end. Even tho they played attrociously. Fickleness at its best.

They can be pleased with the two points without being happy with the performance.

Exactly, after the Wigan defeat the fans gave both sets of players a standing ovation for a great hard fought game of rugby, we can accept defeat if the team have given their all and some 50/50 chances or referee calls didn't go our way. But to play so limply against a side 9th in the table at home is a different matter.

The pressure was on Gentle after Good Friday, and he and the team responded...the pressure is even greater now and the issues even harder to fix.

Another thing ill say about Gentle is a dont think hes a big enough man to be able to handle the job of coaching Hull FC - the expectation is too high. We are on paper a massive club that seems to be constantly coached and driven around by people who simply cant handle the job as its too big for them hence constant under performing throughout the years. For this club to move forward and finally achieve what Adam Pearson wants it to acheive then we either have to get the best coach in the british game or one of the best from Australia. Not an assistant and not someone whos on the up.

Nice debating with you. See you on the 'is Gentle a genius thread?' After a few wins....

Born Black and White Die Black and White Hull will give us a tough game but the key is to silence their fans in the Threepenny Stand.We have to do this because if we do'nt they will get behind their side and lift them in a way you've never seen,heard or witnessed before.

Quote: Smiggs "His length of the field pursuit of Crooks deserved a round of applause from us all yet he got s in the south stand jeering when he got injured doing so. Great player with a great attitude.'"


Same in East stand near me.
That chase back and his attitude/game personifies exactly what we don't have at present.

Wakefield ,supposedly,dont have the names we have but they have a team,again something we are missing at present.

Or the "Did Gentle deserve to be sacked?" Thread?!

Maybe, maybe not but I can tell ya it is his job to fix things and I don't want to see him fail, I want to see us playing a hell of a lot better!

I don't see it as a job. It is a passion and love that we all share. Neil Hudgell:30566.jpg

See this is it, you seriously are not a 'massive club', I don't know where you get this idea from!
