I think that most fans of every club in every sport would say that they want to see a winning team. But I think most fans are also realistic enough to know that that isn't going to happen every week. What fans do want to see is their team giving it their best effort every week even if they lose. I don't feel that we're getting that at FC and I don't think we've been getting it for a long time. That has me quite disheartened.

I thought the forwards did just about enough today although there is a lot room for improvement there. Hadley needs a rest for me and it looks like Tuson is out again. For me our halves are distinctly average. How many proper chances on the outside did our wingers get today ? Meanwhile Wakey's nippy players carved us up on our right regularly in the last quarter. Even Washbrook capitalised on it. Not good enough behind the scrum - it took one of our hookers to score and another to create a chance. Our third try was a mile forward but at least Shaul did create something.

To be fair to him, the same inconsistencies and attitude problem has plagued many a coach before him and will probably be just as much of a problem for his eventual successor so I'm not surprised to hear him say that he doesn't have the answer. Does anyone?

What does bother me is that results wise we are not any better than when Gentle was in charge. We're probably worse (someone might be able to tell me if we are or not). Performance wise our attack looks better (most of the time) but our defence (which Radders was credited for last year) has gone to pot. I am far from convinced that Radders is the man that should be in charge but hope he can prove me wrong.

Maybe it's someone who's followed his club through thick and thin and has had enough. Don't know that, but Radford needs to concentrate less on what the crowd is doing and focus on sorting out the ensuing chaos on the pitch.

Thick & thin means bad times too..not take it out on the chairman who has done good by our club.

Not often I agree with you but that kind of reaction aimed at an owner trying to make us successful is bang out of order.

Not sure why Radford felt the need to mention it in a radio interview though. Other than he does like to get a dig in at the fans whenever he gets chance.

Yes, he has, but the fact that someone has done that to him, wrong as it wa, should get him to think as to the reason why. He was one who said let's do everything local and unfortunately it's being found as not the way to go, simply because Radford is not good enough in any department to be a head coach at a super league club.

Certainly was. Idiots are everywhere unfortunately.

The high point of Radford's radio interview was claiming Leeds defensive structure is rubbish but they win by being more enthusiastic........ brilliant Leeds are so successful because they try hard.
Here was me thinking that having a backline which would be the envy of plenty of nrl clubs and having the best players of their generation in other positions had something to do with it.
Boy is he out of his depth. Then he probably was by the time he got to primary school.

It's disrespectful to AP. The full contracted staff need to have a look at themselves & start to play with pride in our clubs colours..people harp on that the culture at our club is poor..westside was 1 of the worst for this he's totally changed & I think this is a case of not respecting the teams we are expected to beat.

A Wakey team put together on a shoestring budget missing some of their best players. Sounded like the team that wanted it more won.

That's ultimately what it comes down to. We have proven that when we play the big sides we are willing to leave everything out there to get the win. But when the small sides roll up we seem to just go through the motions and expect to win, all sides do this occasionally, but when it happens so regularly you would think we would learn our lesson. Leeds (just to use them as an example) seem to turn up with the same professional attitude whether they are playing Wigan Warriors or Wigan St Judes. We just don't seem interested. It's as though the players think they are above playing against teams like Wakefield and Widnes.

Didn't say it was right. Just smacks to me of Radford trying to deflect the attention onto the supporters and away from a shocking defeat.
He certainly didn't offer much in the way of analysis of the events on the pitch. Was embarrassing to be honest.
Want him to succeed but I have a feeling its not going to end well.

It's hard to pin the blame on lenny or individual players..they need to all take some blame & address this situation as a squad as it is a team effort win or lose.

A few weeks ago he said he'd walk if he didn't think he could improve us. Given he's just told us he's no idea what to do next, maybe Pearson won't have to step in at all?
