The seeming lack of the players knowing what was going on for the first couple of months of the season. Maybe they should have this extraordinary annual general meeting before the season starts next time

Cooke leaving took the heart out of the team, too - had to start rebuilding the playing structure and pivots from scratch, so important was Cooke tothe way we played.
Only issue I had with Sharp was his insistance on trying to make players into "utility players" in key positions. The prime example was forcing Motu into the fullback position over the specialist Briscoe - never ever got that one.
Didn't he bin Danny Brough?

We are attacking with much more fluidity and offloads have suddenly returned. If this way of playing remains then Radford should be given some more time but the fact we have had to change how we play actually backs up what the Radford out Brigade have been saying.
We play really boring uninspiring rugby so the fans get fed up and start to call for the coach to sort it out or go. The coach eventually appears to change philosophy with the game plan and we start to play some attractive rugby and get some results and apparently this means the fans were wrong to ever question the coach in the first place. I'll leave you to decide just how dumb that is.
Exactly, it's like the Sam Allardyce situation. Fans not happy at what they're being served, so it changes to what they do want, then suddenly they're wrong? Bizarre.
I didn't go on Saturday (haven't been since the Catalan game), and didn't actually even bother listening, so how could I comment on here about the game? Given what I've seen/heard about the change in our attack in the last 2 games, I might be back on Friday, though.

Get yourself back, I think the team deserve some of the fans who have been missing (which is fair enough) after the last two performances,
Hopefully we can get a crowd of around 11K and the team will put a performance in and we can carry on with our momentum.
