Quote ="craig hkr"Pearson was on his way.Losing money and Sneyd and Fonua were at that point a waste of money according to fans.Radford was hated by many and Pearson was quoted as "last chance saloon " if no success that season.At 20-0 down at HT.They were done.Radford was gone probably AP as well.Of course history shows 20-22 and that was the pivotal moment in their 2 cups and our relegation.i don't think either Radford or Chester are particularly good coaches but they have had success recently. Look at Ferguson at Man utd and Robins goal which led too years of glory.Sports a funny thing and the 12 years in lower league and then the latest relegation have set us back probably more than we realise?This isn't meant as anti FC and it wouldn't matter if it was as the cups are in the bank but we need a moment like that to kick start us as a club imo'"
People like a good moan though dont they. Some are only happy when things are going wrong.
The turning point for Hull, imo, was actually the game away to Wire the season before that we won with a Sneyd drop goal after the hooter. Easter 2015 I had lost patience with Radford after an inept performance against you guys. That game against Warrington just set us on the right path. It was baby steps, but the rest of the season after that game was mostly very encouraging. The game you mention was important too, but I reckon we had the quality to go have a good season whatever the result that day. We started the season looking awesome and then people started to panic again after a couple of losses. Another false dawn, Radford out etc.
Whatever the moment was though, you are right. No your squad maybe isnt top 8 standard, but its amazing what a bit of confidence and a feel good factor can do for a set of players. A big upset, a comeback, a last second win. Whatever it is you just need something to kick start the season. Its not much fun when you are losing every week and everyone is telling you you arent good enough.
It'll come. Worse squads with worse coaches have manages to be competitive in the past. No reason this bunch can't.
