I thought about this thread after the match too! Hard to believe that just a couple of months ago, it was very believable that we would struggle again.
Hull? Hell, the whole world seems to have stopped visiting the Leicester forum. And last season we had so many "well-wishers".
I don't think we've gone quiet... In all fairness, I prefer watching us lose games in an entertaining fashion rather than the last couple of seasons which were boring, boring 1-0'ers. We're now attacking, scoring goals and have some nasty injuries to cope with. So we're still with a weak defence. I think once our defenders are all back to fitness, we should start conceding a lot less. We're all still in voice and nobody predicted us to even be amongst the top 10 because of pure disillusion amongst most fans of other Clubs. Especially the Facebook Banter Page, everyone's only just started putting Hull in their top 6/10 predictions. I said before the Season that Leicester would get promoted and that City would finish top 10 and from what's happened so far, they're both accurate in terms of form and results.
Pretty sure that when the Allams signed Bruce and gave him transfer funds, alot of you guys were saying top 6, and tbh, signing Bruce, thats prob what the Allams are aiming for. It happens to all of us though, ours was on a more extreme level with Sven and his blank cheque book, but as we have learned, Premier league managers just dont cut it in this league, currently in the top 6 (i am aware that this is likely to change), there is 1 years worth of Premier league experience (Mowbray with WBA). Big Sam is the only manager i can think of that came down a level and succeeded (i say succeeded, more scraped back into the prem), theres probably others i havnt really researched it though.
I was meaning other Clubs fans, nobody but Hull fans would put Hull in their predictions for top 10. And I think Bruce is doing fine tactically for this League, it's just he's been hit with injuries that have obviously messed his plans up. Once we get everyone back to fitness we'll be fine. It will be interesting to see who he gets in January as we have plenty of players contracts expiring at the end of this year so it'll be a big shuffle hopefully. Get people like Paul McTorres off the books.
Oh sorry i thought u meant it the other way round, hopefully he can build a good rapport with the fans and owners and be there at least until Christmas time next year before improvement can be judged. Luckily the Allams aren't as crazy as Milan was for us
I don't think the Allams are crazy, I just think they take the "We do things for the best interests of the people of Hull" attitude a bit too far at times, such as signing Barmby on a permanent basis, sacking him and then apologising as they realised he'd done nothing wrong. They understand that they can't just swap managers as they please, they don't want to be spending money on managers, and when they've signed Bruce on a 3 year deal, that means they aren't entirely expecting it to be in the first Season. They'll back him as much as they believe they need to and he should survive a couple of Seasons at least.
Hull need to give Bruce 1 year to build and then next season its do or die. Miles too early to get on his back The owners here gave both Sven and Nigel 3/4 of a season to start something and then the following season the results have to come. Sven got the chop because they wasnt coming and Nigel has got the results coming through
