Different expectations back in the Kear/Sharp days, we were a top4 side looking to win more trophies. Kear fell out with Hetherington, and our league form was inconsistent given the quality of the players we had available. Sharp never recovered from Cooke leaving and then had the worst injury crisis we've had in the SL era in 2008.

Agar & Radford are/were cheap options, but Pearson's learnt the Hetherington trick of cutting costs because the fans will turn up and watch any old dross anyway.

How many penalties did he concede?

Abdull ISN'T a HB.

Who cares? we are still relegation fodder.

Moi Moi will cream us.

Oh an expect a Will Sharp hat trick against Fev

not sure on Bowden's penalty count without watching the game back on TV (and frankly i'd rather cut my balls off with a rusty razor blade!) but he's still completely ineffective.

and if Abdul isn't a half-back why do we play him there in the first team? he's also listed as a stand-off on the club website.

He's a 13. The reason his first team appearances have been in the halves is because he wouldn't last in the middle atm. He plays 13 in the 19's.

Bowden gave away 1 penalty. Minichiello, Rankin & Westerman were the highest with 2 each. So not a penalty machine in the slightest.

You write an absolute load of bullshine too, it would seem you can't compose an intelligent response in any case not that you would have a jot of evidence to support your stance unlike mine which I have written and the evidence is clearly there for all to see but the drum beaters like yourself.
As for JA, that IS exactly the problem, we develop no halves to speak of, we get a lad whom has talent and you and others just want to turn him into a 13 FFS. Well as you & Radford seem to be in bed together your way MUST be right, it's surely working for us right now isn't it and we certainly don't need any home grown halves for the future..you and your ilk must be on crack the nonsense you keep coming out with and and all the while your bestie is ruining OUR club!!

In all honesty, fc's young kids have offerd nothing to the first team for some time.... when saints or wigan bring a kid through, he looks like a regular first teamer even when he's on debut... ours look lost, and not conditioned enough IMO

Including Hampshire whos doing ok at Wigan, who we lost for a pittance

More BS.

Abdull is a 13, him with Dean & HTW at 6 & 7 is a potent triangle and the future of our club, if any of these people bothered to go and watch the 19's they'd see it a mile off.
Maybe it's because our 19's are top of their league and playing well? That sort of stuff doesn't sit well with them.

I did ask the question when Rads got the job who will be our new coach at the end of 2015. So I'll ask a new one why bother getting rid of him it's not like the board will have the ambition to get a coach who is any better?
