There's little pressure from the fan base when so many lemmings chuck themselves off the cliff after each other. As I've already alluded to, attitude, commitment and desire from the players will always count for more to a lot of fans than where we are in the table or cup. You feel like it matters to them. It seems like this bunch don't give a toss so long as they are getting paid.
Not sure what you want the fans to do, miss games, stop buying shirts, these will only hurt the club even more.
Pearson wants Radford, he personally saved, improved and keeps our club going, so unless you or Some one else who is prepared to lose a few million,then we have to trust his judgement.
Whilst at times we have been disapointting, I think some fans are overreacting.
I just don’t get how we lack so much intensity, is itattitude or is this just how we set out to manage the game, it’s really strange, I’ve not seen a season when our defence as looked so lack lustre consistently

Thats just one of Houghtons deficiencies at the play the ball nothing to do with Radford.
starting against Huddersfield Radford has to get his best team on the park with players in their best positions and hopefully get the wins we need. He can start with Connor back at right centre and Tuimavave left centre to bolster that left edge defence.Griffin on the bench interchanging with Minichello and Manu. No place for Westerman for me.Ellis to 13. last chance salon for Shaul
Been saying it a while, but we’d be a more creative team with Connor at full back. Not a criticism of Shaul really, just think we’d be a different animal with Connor being an extra pivot.

It's more frustration than anything else Dave. I appreciate that we are supporters as well as fans and that financial committment from us contributes to the clubs ability to compete. It's just the acceptance of it by some. It's frustrating. Venting eases the pain a little.

I think we saw yesterday the difference a good full back like Evalds makes to a team. For me Shaul has not kicked on and his deficiency in the attacking line is so plain to see. It wont happen but replacing Shaul with an Evalds/Coote type full back would make us a different animal in attack. agreed Connor would be a better full back option but i like many others want to see him back at right centre.Ratu will also benefit from having Connor back at right centre.

Fair post, nobody likes games like yesterday, I still feel the club has a lot more positives then negatives.
Should beat Hudds and then we go to a massive game at Cas.
At least we are involved with big games at the right end if the table.
