HULL KINGSTON ROVERS is my religion, Craven Park is my church and Jordan Abdull is my God:



Quote: Staffs FC "Did Miller play 7 that day ?'"



Can only go on the team sheet you submitted my good man, not like your lot to be poor administratively is it.

Blaming someone else for your mistake ? You sound like Craig Sandercock my good man.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?:

Might explain a few other things as well, although, I guess, plenty on here won't accept any "excuses".

Fed up of this pre-season and ready for the season to start.

Time for the fans to get behind the club and players (until at least after the first game!!!)

Quote: Staffs FC "Worst initial fear over his appointment ? Surely it's a fraction early to be casting doubt over the coach when the season hasn't even started yet - as bad as some of the pre season friendlies were.

I have no doubt that Pearson has installed Radford as the man to sort out the underlying attitude and approach issues with some of Hull's first team squad by ruling them with the stick. I've read some hand-wringers (not on here) worrying about Radford already laying into his squad in the paper etc. IMO that's exactly how Pearson wants Radford to react - he's not talking about all the players he's talking about a select few who seem to coast from one season to the next by playing to their potential in only around half of the games. There was evidence of this yet again on Sunday. We now also have the captain in the paper talking about adding his two penneth as required down the line in the same context.

I didn't see Pearson's piece in the paper today as a 'vote of confidence' - more a serious measure of support that Radford will be backed with what he needs to alter the lazy culture that some seem to cling to. Let's face it as I said the other day we've had a succession of coaches right back to McRae (the first to talk about the 'cancer' at the club) who have failed to a greater or lesser extent to solve this issue. I think Radford is a medium-long term appointment by Pearson to ensure that the crop of young players coming through now are left in little doubt as to what's required in terms of preparation and attitude to be a pro in SL. Some of our more established players with question marks hanging over them may find themselves playing at Donny or Gloucester as well. I think Pearson judged that Gentle would never have tackled this issue and Radford in his judgement might do.

It will be interesting how things pan out but at this stage it's pretty hard to judge Radford either way until we actually see him coach some games. Team selection in particular (players in form/showing the right attitude not players by name) might be a good indicator. As ever injuries will have a big say in that.'"


Hasn't Radford had an entire pre-season to sort out the attitude problems?

They didn't seem very afraid of him on Sunday.

Maybe some players attitude problems can't be sorted out. It's what the coach does with those players in terms of selection and retention that I would have thought would be the issue. That will be the sign of whether he is standing for no nonsense - not whether the players looking scared of him or not.

Maybe some players will never change?

Bearing in mind that all but 5 of the starting line-up on Sunday have hardly played a season for Hull between them, it doesn't leave many to choose from with "attitude".

Shaul, Lineham, Crooks, Yeaman, Stark, Horne, Rankin, Watts, Hadley, Bowden, Thompson, Whiting, Westerman
Arundel, B Tyson-Wilson, Green, Miller, Abdull, Kent, Nicklin, Liggins, Leaming, H Tyson-Wilson, Turgut, Fash, Shepherdson

Taking Horne and Whiting out of the equation only leaves 3. Maybe dropping players is his last option, but injuries will delay that approach for a while. And then of course it might be some of the youngsters who are part of the problem?

Well if "some players will never change" and "some players' attitude problems can't be sorted out" its up to Radford to identify them and Pearson to get rid of them, as promised.

If this doesn't happen, things will never improve.

Listening Mr Radford after game interview not a happy man.

Poor attitude from players in the 1st half, who is he talking about.

Crooks, rankin, watts, bowden, thompson, westermen or miller. Green or all of them.

Throwing the young lads on when you are 24-6 down interesting decision.

To be fair you are right, we haven't done too much in terms of winning things in the last few years.

Although as a Rovers fan, bringing up recent success is the last thing I would be doing.

Credit where credit's due.
Kr did appear in a challenge cup final in 1986.
All those recents finals have made them c ocky.

Tucked away in the article with Ellis in the HDM is that Ellis and several other players had a virus this weekend, that doesn't excuse the poor result, but it does maybe explain the strange lineup Radford fielded.

That's what I heard to. Some people on here have gone way OTT. I will reserve judgement until at least a few games into the season.
