He's just said about Hudds' size and aggression through the middle, and said about our recruitment plans needing assessing. If he stays I think it's clear he wants more grunt up front.

I noticed,any idea why ?

If he isn`t it proves we have no ambition. Sorry to say it, I was willing to give him a go ,but enough is enough.
First Agar, now this, bloody depressing.

rightly or wrongly gentle wont be going anywhere, we got totally mullered tonight ,a disgrace, but my main blame lies with the players,

Thought he said what most of us would agree with. That said he's two years in now and our recruitment over that time hasn't been good enough.

No, unless AP does it on the spare of the moment.

But whose idea was the smaller mobile pack? Wasn't that meant to be the model copied from Wests.

Take no pleasure from the fact that he's failed but he doesn't appear to be up to the job.
Thanks for your efforts Peter.

would you be whining as much if we had won the cup this year? tonight's result was depressing, but I'm over it already, but we haven't had a depressing season.

Only thing I would say in mitigation is we don't know who we have gone for and who has turned us down. Maybe we've done what we could to get better in

We didn't though

if the bloke has got any self respect he will walk himself before he is sacked!

Summat has to give. Tonight has me looking back at the Agar years with dewey-eyed nostalgia.

I meant that he was doing all right to still be here after all the weeks of his rumoured departure.

Surprised he lasted long enough to do the press conference given tonights shambles and Pearson's obvious fury.

players have to take some of the flak, some tackling was awful

No he hasn't you muppet. He really hasn't

gentle not going anwhere imo

But we didn`t ,did we? a crap display at Wembley and tonight proves we aren't up to the big games. I go to watch them enough so if I want to whine I bloody well will do so.

We all wanted him to succeed but we've been cack all year otber than a handful of games.
Sad.

Pearson won't accept this , he"ll be gone . Morgan for me but think it will be McNamara who I think is worst then gentle . Need the right man this time if he does go .

Kyle amor knew,thats why he turned you down.

I agree, and with your earlier post. I'm still not sure whether we have a coaching problem, or an inherent problem with the club that seems to engender attitude problems and inability to deal with pressure in the players, or both. I think we'll either see Gentle leave or a few more player changes. There's still several in the squad who we need to replace IMO.

Here here !!

Makes me laugh how can you blame Gentle for that defensive abortion when all season you have been saying how he has made the defence best in the league so it's his fault one week later the players can't knock over their granny

Well he said about a mobile pack, think the smaller bit has been words put into his mouth. But even if he did, at least it would appear he's learnt that that is not going to work in SL. I'd at least give credit for that, better to acknowledge mistakes and correct them than to either be unaware or too stubborn to change.
