Nothing less than a comprehensive victory with some attacking moves on display is acceptable tonight with the team Salford are putting out, we need entertainment!

This!! It really is last chance saloon for Pearson and Radford. People will walk in large numbers if the result goes the wrong way.

What is our lowest SL crowd? Spoke to a few people that normally pay on the day and aren't bothering. Out of the 6 that I normally go with, all with passes, only two of us are going.
I'm only going as I have nothing better to do and it gets me out of the house.
Something drastic needs to happen at the club or I really fear for our future.
Whether it's Yeaman or anyone else I've had enough of reading how we're not far away and the league is condensed etc. etc. Where is the confidence that 'the squad can be much better' exactly coming from ? As for the idea that we've been playing OK in the matches previous to Hudds it surprises me how they think they can pull the wool over supporters' eyes in such a fashion. We've played OK in 3 possibly 4 games this season - the rest has been below standard - some like last week off the scale. But the real thing that gets me is this idea that our players and coaches talk about not having enough desire and enthusiasm on such a regular basis. Put another way this is actually a pretty disgraceful admission that they are going to work on match day (and therefore more than likely in the week as well) not really being arsed about the result or their individual and collective performance.
What needs doing is for the players and coaches to collectively shut the **** up and actually go out there and produce to the best of their ability week in and week out. I'll be going again tonight but don't blame others for not doing so - when representatives of the club effectively admit that they're not putting anywhere near enough effort and enthusiasm in from their side then why would they think that supporters must do so ad infinitum?
So - stop chucking the ball sideways to the next man along without committing anyone in front of you. Instead of standing with your finger up your rear make a decoy run when the half gets near the line. Run three times harder into the collision in attack and defence and chase and challenge for the kicks like you see other professionals in other teams doing on a regular basis. Fight hard to get up and play the ball at every tackle like your life depends on it, and back up the forward drives to make the opposition actually make some decisions that might therefore mean they get some of them wrong.
In summary STOP TELLING US IN THE MEDIA THAT IT WILL GET BETTER AND WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY BECAUSE THE LEAGUE IS CLOSE. INSTEAD GO OUT AND REPRESENT HULL FC (A CLUB YOU ARE PRIVILEGED TO BE PLAYING FOR IN ITS 150th YEAR) AT THE STANDARD REQUIRED FOR SUPER LEAGUE. PUT IN THE MAXIMUM EFFORT POSSIBLE WHICH IS THE ABSOLUTE BASE MINIMUM THAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING EVERY WEEK WITHOUT FAIL.
If you do that then you might find that playing at home becomes more enjoyable and the empty seats start filling again. At Hull FC we've seen some brilliant players play for us over the years and there's no doubt that the current staff structure from the coaches downwards is way off the level of some of the teams we've seen in the past. But in actual fact at Hull FC if the fans see the desire and enthusiasm for the shirt and for them then they will support the team through wins and losses. We can cover to some extent for a lack of pace and strike and skill if every man works his tits off for the cause. I don't understand why we're having to ask for this because it should be a given, but putting that to one side now's the time to break out of this morass of crap and start putting down some standards that this great club and its supporters deserve.
I'm sick to the back teeth of reading HDM pieces such as this from our players and coaches:

Now that should be emailed to Adam Pearson (perhaps minus the couple of expletives).

Same for me as well. I'm still attending but the guys I've sat & stood with for years have had enough. The only reason I'm going tonight is because, like yourself, it gets me out of the house, quite frankly!
The club as a whole, and Adam Pearson in particular, seem to be sleepwalking towards disaster. Unless significant changes are made to the structure of the club, we will be relegated before this decade is out, the consequences of which could be terminal.
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.

There's been a fair bit of evidence to the contrary over the last few years, not a wise choice of words in a piece that is specifically attitude and performance issues IMO.

But yeh, I would drop him for this game. He was atrocious against Huddersfield and didn't want to know (not on his own there by any means). I wouldn't agree that he gives 110% every game, or that he's been our stand out player this season. That accolade goes to Mini IMO. Pryce has had some decent games, but some quiet ones too.
I still disagree and believe me I am one of the most calm people you could meet, ask the wife. Er better not. How often do you read the half backs can't play well behind beaten pack. That was the case last Friday. Plus there were no runners looking for a pass etc etc. Lets hope we play better tonight and for the rest of the season. I don't hold out much hope.
