    You seriously think that there's any comparison between Phelan and Silva? It's not just about the fact that MS has won two out of his first three games, it's about everything else that has gone on alongside those wins, it's about the blokes whole persona. If you think there is any comparison whatsoever in their qualities then I have to say that I thought better of you.

    Sure.

    By accident.

    Because he had **** all to do, the team literally picked itself.

    51 points to play for, we are 10 points away from 10th position!

    Sure, but don't forget the teams 10 - 20 may also pick up the odd point or 3 along the way!

    I didn't say a word of what you have inferred from my post.

    I just said it's very early to decide if we are turning a corner. I'm optimistic as most of us are, but realistic too.
    Here's hoping!

    Where's that Lester fan who kept taking the piss when I said preseason that I thought they'd go down?

    Why do you assume that? Neither me nor you live in Hull.

    It was AKCJ and you may we'll be right, I don't actually know why I've got it in my head that he lives in Leicester.

    Hat lives in Leicester.

    Easy to get the pair of them muddled up.

    You're obviously thinking of Willie Thorne.

    The obvious improvements we are seeing in the performances every week under Silva are an embarrassment to Phelan and Bruce.

    The passing under Silva is light years better.
    We are pressing the opposition far more (sometimes 3 players converging on a single opponent in possession).
    We are playing much higher up the pitch.
    We are making more chances and scoring more goals from open play.
    The tempo is faster.
    The technical skill levels are higher.
    We're conceding less goals.
    The players are happier to have the shackles removed.
    We look like a team that can compete in this division.
