I don’t agree with many of your point, but I like to think I don’t respond with anything abusive (and I know your comment above was not aimed at me).
Personally I agreed that Radford rode his luck and also agree that he was probably 23 mins on good Friday 2016 away from the sack. But IMO he has developed as a coach, just from his post match comments after all games, he is insightful and doesn’t just quote the cliches many coaches do.
Our club needed stability and it has reaped rewards in the form of two Wembley wins. Our style of play has improved with the introductions of players like Kelly and Conner. I know all clubs have injuries but we have been hit significantly to the extent of us over playing certain players to the point of fatigue, clearly evidenced in the last two games.
I feel you don’t factor this in with you’re comments on LR which is wholly unfair.
i agree with you about Radford but can also see Knockers point of view.
My reservation with Radford is this glaring inability to post points when we have repeat sets in the oppostion 20.
How many times do people mention we attack too deep,passing is laborious and slow,players not running onto the ball,lack of offloads and no backing up the runner.
This is where we need major improvement which doesnt seem to happen therefore can appreciate to some extent why Knocker feels Radford cant take us any further as this surely is a coaching deficiency or simply an area which Radford doesnt work on enough.
Whether you liked Pritchard or not our pack then was feared, now we are lightweight with no impact whatsoever.
Do we need to change our style of play? yes
Do we need a new coach? not at the moment
