Thats the problem .Radford should have known he was not ready to step up yet .
Pearson should have known that aswell .
But with the McRae / Gentle regime being sacked he had no one to advise him , but Radford !!
Sacking your DOR and Head Coach at the same time was not a good move.
Pearson left himself exposed in a Sport he knows little about with nobody of any RL experience at the Club.
Sacking Gentle now looks like a very knee jerk reaction from Pearson

We wouldn't, we'd still have Peter Gentle in charge until someone better became available.

Plural where I'm concerned please.

I agree to a certain extent.

Pointing the finger of blame should be aimed directly at Pearson. he promised a Sports Science Dept - Where is it?

IF he wants Hull FC to compete with the likes of Leeds,Wigan etc, he should invest more resources in the coaching set-up.

With the current coaching set-up ( No Player performance Manager,No Sports Psychologist,no Attack Coach) - not even Bellamy,Bennett etc could revive our fortunes.

IF the players dont have adequate preparation, how can you compete on the field??

Couldn't agree more, its a top down mentality that spreads throughout a group. Set the wrong example and everyone follows. I have never bought this once the players cross the white line its all down to them. Garbage, its down to mental and physical preparation in the run up to the game that influences what happens on it. Then when things go wrong how it is dealt with that changes the long-term culture.

Carvell in an interview before last nights game said that he thinks there is a real mental issue between what happens in players heads between the last training session and the game. The coach is therefore failing in his duty if this is not addressed. As already alluded to, the back room staff at FC look to be poor for Championship standard let alone SL.

You are seriously deluded, if you think this is what the fans and Pearson are going to put up with whilst radford sorts the culture of the club out and turns all our youngsters in to superstars and the next Wigan, leeds team! I think anybody with a little knowledge of the game can see we have serious problems on and off the field. I'd get rid of radford now, might give us a chance in the derby. I'd of loved radford of to done well, but I just can't see it happening, coułdnt understand the decision to give him the role in the first place looking back, he's been part of the so called culture at hull and must of had an influence on things as an assistant, so how did anybody expect things to change so dramatically, I guess only Pearson could answer that, completely gutted.

Quote ="weaver93"Then, take a look at Leeds. www.therhinos.co.uk/rugby/coaches/'" Either FC's website is poorly maintained and there is so much more to the back room staff, they haven't even bothered to update biographies. Or FC is starting to look more and more like a Radford pub team that him and his mates have a bit of fun with.

Quote ="weaver93"Then, take a look at Leeds. www.therhinos.co.uk/rugby/coaches/'" I look at Leeds also, but. Decided not to put it on when I saw they have included the timekeeper!!!! But it certainly looks like we are well under staffed compared to other clubs and Radford needs to bring in an experienced coach to help him.

no, Radford needs to clear off and leave the professionals to it whilst he pulls pints and puts NRL tops in carrier bags.

Well said .
Where is the structure Pearson promised ?
Maybe East Hull or Myton Warriors have someone we can poach !!

At least they have bothered to tell their fans who works at the club.

There is clearly a mental approach issue at the club, what is Radford doing about it. Screaming at players and critic sing them in public.

I'm not sure who takes the lead from who, bearing in mind that Radford was a player before he was a coach. Seems like a cultural/institutional thing at our club. Maybe the root cause of our problems? If you don't take responsibility for your own performance you'll never improve.

The shops gone mate its another bar now, funny that though. Lol

Morning Adam

I have waited until this morning to post my thoughts on last night in the hope that I would have calmed down. Sadly I have not.

Last night was a disgrace! I keep trying to tell myself that it was Wigan and that I wasn't expecting a win. But given the amount of players they had out I expected a more even contest. Once again the players let us down (with the exception of Shaul and one or two others). They looked clueless and once again lacked any passion. They should be ashamed to be professional sports players.

But for all the players let us down, last night was the last straw for me with Radford. He hasn't a clue what he is doing. His tactics are woeful. Our defence is worse than it was last year and our attack is no better. It's his job to get those things right, get the players fired up for matches. Sadly he has proven that he can't do that for me.

He must go and it must be now. He's had his Wembley moment (the Widnes game) and he's had his Huddersfield moment (last night). I genuinely fear that we will get relegated if he remains in charge.

Noble's available. Tony Rea's available. Either of them could do a better job than Radford. I can't believe we sacked Gentle for this clown. Christ, I'd take Paul Cullen if we could prise him away from Sky.

in a way, I don't blame Lee, he was gifted a job he was never suited for. You only need look at him, he is in way out of his depth, I wouldn't surprised to see him wearing arm bands in Manchester next weekend.

It would be funny if he's stood there with his rubber ring on & nose peg! Lol

If we lose next week , he will be in it that deep , he will need a Nuclear submarine to hide !!

Steady on!

We don't have a bigger picture, just a small broken paintbrush

Keep looking down then, it's sink or swim for us now, but I won't stop supporting them, but like I've said I'm looking ahead not behind.

Looking ahead where do you see our next win coming from?

Krs cup final next week.

Cant look ahead with your head buried in the sand.
