The fact you are coming out with this is a massive surprise. You have backed Radford in most things, but the tone of your posts tonight suggest you are really struggling to find anything left to be positive about.

DAB, you must have missed the first one

Don't they pay good money for a professional coach aswell ?

So it looked a better performance if you where there,than it did on sky ?

That Up the cream link is worth a read!

can't argue with any of that.

If Pearson or Radford see anything other then as a club we are well and truly up Papp creek without a paddle.

Wakefield were so poor but Radford and his charges still found a way of throwing away a win yet again with the same mistakes and the vast majority unforced so to say there was effort is an insult. I would put that display after the first 20mins as one of the worst ever by a professional Hull FC side and these are totally unacceptable.

Perhaps Radford should actually listen to his own interviews as he already sounded beaten before the game which is indicative of the teams performances and I believe is a reason he never seems to have players mentally prepared.

Not trolling here but apart from the first 16 minutes how were Wakefield really poor last night?

If you want to include 12 of the last 16 games prior to this I'd agree that Wakefield have been awful bu not last night when they were good in both attack and defence and won the game on merit!

I was horrified when I heard him say in his post-match interview 'I thought that if we won it would only be by 1 or 2 points.' was that really the level of hope/expectancy we had going into that game?

If thats the sort of belief he has in his own team and the level expected of the players then there is little wonder we're in the state we are.

Time to go Radders.

I actually think that performance was on par with the big Huddesfield defeat in the playoffs.

It was that shocking.

This performance,and Fridays has come as no suprise at all. This is what i expect now whenever Hull play. i'm more shocked when we play well than when we play badly. i even bet against us last night as i knew what was coming. I'm at the last step of walking away. Nobody at the club seems to give a toss and if they have any professional pride then they're keeping it well hidden.

You held the ball, we didn't, pretty much the only difference.

The last few games our handling has been nothing short of embarrassing.

So keeping hold of the ball dominates the whole 2nd 40 mins. I want to be a coach, I'll win the grand final next year.

We kept dropping the ball, which allowed Wakey to have more sets than us get near our line, obviously it wasn't the full factor, but when we were both dropping the ball, it was 16-0 to Hull, we continued to drop the ball, Wakey didn't, more possession, territory and trys, means they win the game.

You'll forgive us for enjoying this though. It's been a long time for us.
3-4 weeks ago it didn't matter how bad the opposition played, we still got a tonking

Now we have a team who were merrily sailing towards the 8 and could still be in, saying we are the same level as them because we held the ball......

Clearly Hull weren't at their best but we had a part in that and we weren't playing like the team that lost all those games that put them at the bottom of the league.

No $hit Sherlock!

Whilst recognising that Hull weren't that great why not also recognise that Wakefield played well

You played better than a truly awful FC team.

You played OK after 15 minutes (Before that you were truly appalling and I thought we would get 40), after that you held the ball better and took your chances.

I don't why your fans are coming on here looking for praise, we have more things to worry about than how good you think you were.

I'm more concerned with how we did and why we keep losing.

Yep.

It's like scraping together the cash to invest in a top-class Lamborghini then employing a sixteen-year-old prize-fighter from the local village to drive it.

Makes no sense. But have we gone beyond the point where Pearson can [iafford[/i to backtrack? Are the coffers too empty after assembling the necessary car and paying off the previous drivers?

If this is the case (as I suspect it is and more so will be a worsening case scenario as the Doldrums continue), where can Pearson go from here?

Radfords choice of squad and team have really come back to hurt us, Pryce and Mini shouldn't have played in the cup.

Wakefield fans aren't coming on here looking for praise Sherlock, they're simply offering a different opinion to that of yourself and a few more poor losers' on here, as you say you did okay for 15 minutes then you were out played for the rest of the game, having read other posts of yours on the VT and our board it seems that all you ever do is make excuses, you were beaten on the night by a better team, get over yourself before the bitterness eats you up.

Donny would have beat us in the last60 min. We where garbage

Show me examples when I have made excuses on your board and the VT for other games?

When we got beat by Leeds X2 and Saints at home for example I can accept that we were beat by the better team, Wakey were the better team last night, but you weren't great.

Cracking signing is Locke, as I've said think he will be the difference between you coming back up.

Excuse us for our poor opening quarter...losing our game manager and fulcrum of the team so late in the day and having three players making their debut may have played some part in that opening?

Once we settled down and got over that I thought we thoroughly outplayed you....

In that heat, us completing 19 out of 20 sets 2nd half was the killer stat....How we can be described as poor in the 2nd half with that completion rate and a 20-0 scoreline just comes across as bad losers to me...
