knockersbumpMKII wrote:4 wins out of the last 15 games tells you all you need to know about this season. it's happened and we have the same situation as previous years. Next season might be better with the quality of players coming in and indeed it's the best we've had for a long time IMO but the main sticking point is still the coach, supporters are disinfranchised with the club almost on a par with the Lloyd era and part of that is down to the owner as well as the coach. ATEOTD either one goes, or you don't, criticising those that state they aren't going because of X will have zero effect on them. It's their choice to make rightly or wrongly for the club. You could flip it around and say that by renewing your pass/attending that you're aiding the cancer that still afflicts the club. I'm beyond caring either way but I'll still go when I can.
Obviously I am very set in my views. But I think this is a fantastic post that sums up the current situation better than I could

Perhaps if you hadn't come on announcing to everyone that you're going then you wouldn't get a response. Quite frankly people are not interested whether you turn up or not and will make their own decisions on whether they will continue to support the club, but they probably won't make a public announcement either way.

You can be an advocate, a neutral or a detractor, just need to choose your own attitude and actions. The Middle 8s have been quite rubbish from a Hull perspective, but up against teams building for the GF and with a lot of injuries we've at least salvaged something in terms of giving our own young players game time against the top sides.
Overall we've done better than last year and Abdull and Logan have made strides in transition. Best academy finish for many years. Some very good recruitment. Coaching set-up not where it needs to be but possibly cash is too tight to pay off and then bring in someone more expensive. Let's just get on with it.
looking at this season compared to last,we won 8 games at home last season and 2 games away.this season we have managed to win 7 games away,with some good performances,but have only managed to win 5 at home.unfortunatly for pearson the majority of fans who buy season passes only watch them at home.this season the performances at home have been awful.even the 5 wins have been unconvincing.
Can't wait to watch Watts & Taylor in the front row next year, Pritchard ripping it up on the edges, the unknown quantities of Fonua and Tuimavave. Add to them the most exciting batch of u19's in a generation, with the likes of Logan, Abdull & Lancaster ready for first team already with the emergence of Downs, Fash and Turgut, even Matongo and it'll make for a cracking season.

To be honest I would have rather played in the super 8s and won one or two games than watch what I have for the last few weeks plus there are a lot worse off teams than Hull at the moment and we have a great academy also

Not for 4 years you don't, by then I fully expect you to be back in the lower leagues.

And I don't disagree...but its still Radford pulling the strings, the same small number of backroom staff (who's only coaching experience is playing and coaching at HullFC) coaching the basic skills, the set piece moves etc.
Quality players like Pritchard & Manu should perform regardless of the coach, and I agree that Fonua & Tuimavave may add something unexpected to the mix. But its the remaining squad/backup players who need someone to help lift their game and get them out of the mediocre displays they are used to. We need someone to turn players like Green & Bowden who have been in the team a few years and done ok but not set the world alight, and push them on to the next level.
