Quote: tommyfromhull "For all we know, they may well have trained well. It may only be the positive Gentle can speak of at the moment. I just don't understand what everyone wants him to say after we've played poorly, other than what he's already said.'"


Saying "we've trained well" after every poor performance, whether it's true or not, isn't what the fans want to hear. We don't pay for them to train well, we pay to see a competent showing on match day. He should comment on the game rather than insulting us with how good training was and how well we did in the warm up.

I really feel that people are making way too much of this. He's providing media-friendly soundbites which - like it or not - will be part of his job. I'm far more concerned about what's happening on the pitch than what's being said about it TBH.

“They sapped our energy but I don’t think we threw a lot at them and we looked a bit brain dead at times. We lacked control and if we’re not on top of our game like tonight, we struggle to get the momentum going forward.

“We are getting in the arm wrestle but we just can’t seem to find a way through and that is down to costly errors and basics skills that we must improve on.”

“We have to have be a lot better than we were tonight."

I don't think he is trying to insult anyone, I think he is trying to say what they are trying to do about it.

The SL season has been a disaster and I'm as gutted as every Hull fan, I do a 240 round trip for home games so its not been great this year!

However we are 80 minutes from a Wembley final and a possible cup win that would be the greatest day in the clubs history. Yes I'm angry and fed up about last night but lets draw a line in the sand and focus solely on getting behind the lads for next Sunday! At the semi in 2005 we lifted the lads to a famous win and they are gonna need a vocal FC army on Sunday.

Come on you Hull!

So he should sit silent in press conferences and post match interviews? Don't talk daft. It's a part of his job.

Nobody wants him to rant but the fact he says these things over and over means they're not sorted. I just want him to sort it out then he wouldn't have to repeat himself.

To be honest I'd rather he refused to talk to the press until he turns things around. Plenty of other coaches in many sports have done it in the past. I can't imagine seeing his smiley face, with his cheery disposition after yet another abject performance does much to help the situation with the players. He's created a culture where losses are accepted with a shrug of the shoulders and a smile

Do you honestly think he speaks to the media in the same manner as he does to his team after a loss?

Probably, if not his ranting at the players isn`t working.

I don't know and neither do you. He certainly seems like the kind of bloke who is friends with everyone.

Anyway, it's irrelevant as it's clear that however he speaks to the players they aren't receptive to it.

You need to open your eyes to what's happening

I don't know, all I can comment on is what I do know. You're guessing on what you don't.

Open my eyes? I'm not denying that we aren't good enough. I'm commenting on Gentle's interviews.
