I didn't hear you saying the players weren't performing either, funny that.

So to summarise. The 8/10 run was down to Radford. All of our losses have been down to the players.


Some of us were actually crediting our senior players for our change in style. From what I have heard since it was the players who instigated that change of style. Sadly we are reverting to type now. We have a coach who simply wants 13 props and second rows on the park and feels brawn is the way forward.
So those of us who blame Radford were still around. Frankly now it's reached the point were I for one can't even be bothered with saying I told you so.
LR has changed the philosophy and direction of the club back to Bradford circa 2002. It's the only way he knows and he has managed to convince the one man with no knowledge of our game, but who controls the club, that his way is best.
The gulf is now bigger between us and Leeds from when AP took over. They were the standard bearer when he took over and still are. Yet we are further from them than ever before. AP went to the play off match against Leeds after he had taken over and said never again.
We have gone through loads of bang average players and now have a bang average coach, but sadly an owner who doesn't want to admit any mistakes.
The only half decent decision AP has made since sacking Agar was to appoint Gentle, who may have had faults but he was taking us places. Wembley and play offs. But LR convinced AP that brawn was the way forward. We now see the results over two seasons NOT a period of 8/10






Beneath the rule of men entirely great, the pen is mightier than the sword.

In 2013 Darryl Powell took over a Castleford side who were languishing at the bottom of the table, had little money or resources, and were seemingly going nowhere. Also in 2013 Lee Radford took over a Hull team fresh from a Wembley appearance and 6th place finish.

Radford has overseen 50 competitive games. He has 20 wins, 2 draws and 28 losses.

Powell has overseen 67 games. He has 38 wins, 1 draw and 28 losses.

Its clear AP wants us to get worse, "this playing roster is top 4"

Cant see any top 4 club wanting to sign Washbrook






He was right in the end

Hopefully relegation (I think it will happen) may be the best thing for the club now, utterly rotten to the core. Radford is much more damaging to the club than Agar was, bully boy tactics especially with the younger players, players we could have built a team around.

I just hope the fans are not stupid when season ticket time comes around, you'll always get some idiots that don't care and renew regardless, but I'd love see how Pearson would spin ticket sales of 1-2K.

It's not classy, but if Pearson is sticking by Radford simply because we can't afford to pay him off, I honestly think that if he asked for donations from the fans this wouldn't be an issue.

One or two fans only, even on here.

Pearson's comments make no sense whatsoever. Rather worrying from the guy running the show.

i spend everything on my family and kids. A put away small amounts for my season pass as its the only thing i allow myself to have as its fast becoming an expensive pile of shee-ight to follow.
if we keep radders then more money will be going on them. Which i doubt they will mind after 20 years of season tickets etc

I don't blame the players for our poor performances they are clearly trying, effort is not the issue, poor coaching and a lack of a game plan is.

Sure we have a few players who aren't up to it, either younger players who won't make it, or older players who are past it. But under a salary cap structure noone, not even Leeds have a 'perfect' squad.

A better coach would get a bit more out of the players we have and would get us a 5th-8th finish which most would find acceptable for now. As someone has already posted just look at what Powell has done with a team of castoffs and young players at Cas.

1) Team Selection
2) Interchange policy (or lack thereof)

These are NOT the fault of the players and are two areas which have baffled most fans recently...
OK -some of the player may not have been giving 100% - but its part of Radford's job to encourage them to do so.

So for Adam to say this just goes to show how far away from reality he currently is.

So Mr Pearson its NOT all the players fault. Man up, grow a pair of balls and admit you made a mistake in appointing and then continually backing Lee Radford. Then you might JUSt start to win back some of the fans you currently doing a damn good job of disillusioning ....
