Give up now, what are you on about?
The fact I dislike Radford as a coach has a major bearing on whether I buy a pass or not.
You may buy one regardless and that's your choice but I'm probably not the only one who feels like this.
Do you not think the last 2 years have been dross then?
And of course I'd notice an improvement in our play if it were to happen we are that boring It wouldn't be hard.
Instead of being sanctimonious why not try a reasoned discussion.
My reasons for buying a pass or not maybe different to yours but doesn't make them any less valid.
Gentles last season was dross tho as well.
We finished sixth and a final yet year after under radford we finished 11th but scored more tries,kicked more goals made less tackles and made more breaks.
Yet lots say Gentle needed more time etc. How he was a good coach and radford is a bad 1,stats dont back that up. The argument isnt about gentle I know but not many were calling for his head like they are Radfords.
Radfords learning as well. Head coach isnt were you should learn but we're 2 yrs in so with good signings (and they really are) he could well come good himself. The make up of the players coming in should help too. Radfords correct in pointing out the mental weakness in our team. People talk about coaching structures regarding attack but to be honest ive struggled to grasp how pro players do what they have done at times. We are dumb and a coach cant make a dummy suddenly bright. I think next yr he does have his own team with the individual qualities hes been after(physical and mental) and mabye a little x factor among them which we've not much had.
So I'll be getting a pass. I'll even be pretty optimistic and if it all goes pear shaped then people will get their wish cos I dont see radford lasting long if we dont perform next yr or show the same signs of the last couple of yrs
