I wouldn't say that for one minute. Clark and Sneyd to name but two would make a massive difference at Hull and Shenton is miles better than any centre we have. Most of the FC rejects had their cards handed to them on here not least Andy Lynch who was classed as finished by those in the know. Gentle certainly took something out of his game when he took the captaincy off him though that much is true.
You're right about the difference in confidence. But for a string of individual errors from one player we would have beaten them away this year. Oh for the days when we were playing at that level.

That is the main reason I held off singing up to the new DD scheme as I am no longer prepared to throw good money away after years of doing so. I am thoroughly disillusioned with the club, the performances and years of false and empty promises and am no longer prepared to sacrifice money I can use for better things just to show blind faith. Cue all the posts of you're not a true supporter.

It does actually raise a very pertinant point. Who is the real "true" supporter, the one who decides on a course of action (a refusal to fund a cause which has clearly lost its way) or the one who simply blindly continues to follow oblivious to the obvious deficiences which are becoming more apparent with each passing week.
As you say, cue the posts  .

I find apologists deserve contempt. It's why the club are not where they should be, too many people just accepting mediocrity.

I shouldn't imagine that any contempt aimed by you would be overly worrying anyone.

I honestly wasn't intending to be contemptuous of anyone, sorry if it came across that way. It was meant as a genuine question.

The debate about Hull's current form is extremely one-sided at the moment, and it seems that any counter arguments are irrelevant.

that simply isn't true, a few people seem to have an overtly positive agenda and will not hear a bad word said. We are all fans, no more or less important than one another, some seem self-righteous, which is a shame. Because we all want the same thing, and I believe we all know, deep down, that we're not going to win anything any time soon, and that hurts.
