Richard Horne's comments after the Whitehaven gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue

Crap results like that do however affect attendances ....

He looked and sounded frustrated. Defiantly work needed on the penalty count and not getting provoked. Looks like we have been worked out on that score and they need to remedy it.

I dont think it matters whether you have three or five Hull FC players in your team you are not going to win a game giving away 16 penalties and plenty of possession from errors.
There does seem to be an on field discipline problem at the club.
Your club captain should be standing up on the pitch

He's half way there, he's usually getting up.

There is a chain of command ....
Working down
Coaches
Captain
Players

And the blame is in that order too despite the fact that the players are the ones giving away penalties.
If it continues at a high rate.

I would say on average 7 is about tops.

I see that Gary had a nice encounter over on the Fleecebook.
He wrote a War and Peace post and someone dismissed it using one word.

I had major doubts before the season started about our chances of going up this year and after 4 games things arnt going well are they.. we’ve put all our eggs in Hulls basket when it comes to recruitment but then only pick 3 players a game when we could have 5. Does Horne think that RB is better than any other forward that Hull could provide us...

Our discipline is again letting us down. If things don’t improve at what point does Horne start to become under pressure. He just doesn’t seem to be learning.

I'll make clear initially that I'm not suggesting he should be under pressure yet ... but ... to respond to the question posed ... whilst we have a DR agreement with his main employer, I would suggest it would only ever be pressure from potentially disgruntled supporters rather than Club Doncaster.

It does show that there is another player in the running with Whitehaven and yet they were struggling a while back.
They duffed us up penalties or no penalties and all the usual suspects did the damage.
At one stage we thought Worky, Newcastle and the Dons.
There are a few more now in the mix.

We are going to get better as a unit and we have a string of easier games so there should be little worry until the final few games and the play-offs.
We won't finish top I don't think, why would we?
Our team last year was better.
