Mind you they don't go to games any more do they ?
im still here, still don't believe he is the man for the job, BUT credit were it is due, he seems to have changed something for the team to perform a bit better. if he can keep fc improving and playing entertaining rugby then he could change my mind.
I do seem to remember end of last season we played well towards the end, thinking and hoping he was making the right changes etc, then we went on a horrendous run, things going backwards. again we seem on a good run, some maybe, just maybe he is turning it round....time will tell. but atm I still don't believe he is the right man

As above for me.
Whilst pleased in the recent upturn in results, I'm far from convinced we are on the right path.
If, as the club state, our long term goal is to be a genuine top four club then I'm still to be convinced that Lee Radford is the man.
However, the position of coach is only one of many issues that need to be addressed before we can even remotely start thinking about those dizzy heights.
Also, as an aside, this entire discussion is a repeat of the one we had in 2010. Exactly the same conversation with the name of Agar being substituted by Lee Radford. I was unconvinced by Agar and I remain unconvinced by Radford as a long term solution to our many problems.
I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.

Well we've got what we've got and as we can do nothing about it, we need to give our coach and his team all the support we can. Things on the field appear to be changing for the better and lets hope that carries on. If it does they all deserve some praise (although there will still those who cannot bring themselves to admit they're wrong).

Same for me I have not seen enough yet to say he is the right man. I thought it was the wrong decision at the wrong time to give Radofrd the job and still hold that same view. Ok so we have put some wins together but the performances have in the most part been very scratchy to say the least. After 18 months of complete dire play with the same mistakes been made etc it is going to take more than a few wins to erase the same old same old of the past 8 years.
The question now is can they keep up this level of consistency shown in the last two games and keep building on it?
Also why the sudden turn around from being so boring with no attacking flair, off loading, angle or dummy runners to seeing just about everything in the game against Cas??
We have all seen far too many false dawns to think we are on the road to greatness just yet.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Rumour is that that isn't down to Radford, certain posters on here would have you think Radford has turned us into an attacking force using all his guile and know-how overnight...it aint so. Though winning is the name of the game, I still don't want Radford at the helm, he's shown to have too many negative traits, too much to say about the fans in a negative light, isn't a man manager of any sort. Short of winning silverware this season I want him gone from a personal POV, if we don't make top 6 by season end he goes because frankly anything less just isn't good enough and is yet another season of failure and another backward step from where we were in 2012/2013.

Radford deserves a share of the credit for the recent upturn in our form but lets not get carried away as we have some difficult fixtures coming up. The reality is that he will be the coach until at least the end of the season so let's judge him then.

Well said the players & coaching staff take flack when they get it wrong so credit to all when due, 1game at a time eh.
