Don’t you think it’s a little bit early to say that it looks like you’re going up?*

I mean of all the teams to say that about I would have thought yours was the least likely to end up as high as they get to just before Christmas?

*perhaps you’ve only started going this year though.

Of course just because something looks likely to happen it doesn't mean it will.

As I said last night you gave a good account of yourselves and were a little unfortunate to come away with nothing. You were pleasing on the eye and went toe to toe from the first minute. However because you matched us up all over the pitch it did look like we would score at some point as we had for for more room in the wide areas than most teams afford us. As is the way in football we scored when you were having your best period of the match but to be fair to us we've really improved our counter attacking this season.

I’m not being funny but we didn’t match you up all over the pitch. That’s our formation we play every single game. The personnel may change, but the formation is always the same.

Yes I see what you mean....what I meant was your style is very similar to ours so it made for a pleasing game of football. Head to head, toe to toe and may the best (or most fortunate) team win.

Too many teams just getting men behind the ball and it's tiresome to watch the same match over and over again. Last night was a decent football match, good passing and movement from both sides but without the quality in the final thirds to make it an absolute cracker.

Makes me laugh all the white ****e coming out of the woodwork and posting on here now

"Two different halves," Bielsa said in his post-match press conference.

"Our first half was very good. We faced an opponent that has a very attractive style, with good attackers, midfielders that want to play.

"It is a team with full-backs who input into attacks. In the first half we were superior, in the second half they balanced the match and it was more even.

"They have had chances and we couldn't stop them. We kept on the offensive but it was more difficult to defend.

"After we scored the second we started to manage the game. But there was a moment before where we risked the result.

"Hull is a team who weren't one of the best teams in the beginning, but after today I can say that it is an important team."

Can't believe you thought you should have got something out of it because you nearly scored. We got a goal ruled out that wasn't offside, again, as well as (you know) actually scoring 2 goals. You do know, in order to win you need to put the ball in the net.

Leeds had most of the ball, whilst you lot faked injury and only tactics were to hoof the ball to that big useless lump up top, your boy Bowen in still in the pocket of Stuart Dallas who is a winger, not even a defender.

Can't believe that before the game you thought we were nothing special and expected to win, you lost to Barnsley last week and we played no where near our best and still won. I will give you credit for almost stifling us. You don't win 7 in a row and barely concede any goals without a bit of luck, but you have to make everything count & we are at moment.

I'd say once Bowen is sold (although I'm not convinced he's that good) you will be relegation fodder.

Would you post your map of routes to the grounds in League One then please Cas ( snigger) White ? As you've been to them all over the last 15 years when we left you in our slipstream we've forgotten were most of the are, see. Tosser.
 
Tonight just proved with a couple of decent additions how close we are, keeping Bowen in January is massive

thought we matched you even when Bowen had an off game so can't see how we'd be relegation fodder. Bowen has been excellent for us this season and a great championship player however moving to the premier league is a completely different kettle of fish. Has a team you don't let many goals in so you always have chance and that's something we have to improve on. Considering the peanuts we spent in the summer expectations are not to high and we are doing okay. Just be happy with your own club, relax on your gloating because you never know a few injuries/off period, a team below going on a good run and things could get tight again. Personally I think you will go up, you will never have a better chance but you never know.

Pretty much as I see it, we've not performed to our level over the last 2 games meaning the teams we have played have matched us

if we play poor and win then I'm happy

thought it was 2 teams cancelling each other out and both lacked any sort of composure making it scrappy at times

This league is poor and doesn't take much to get on a run so no reason why you lot can't make the play offs

Bowen had a off day because one of our most improved performers Stuart Dallas marked him out of the game.

Overall even though that was one of our poorest performances of the season we were the better side albeit some atrocious passing in the second-half

Correct we won't get a better chance, not counting my chickens yet !
 
The Championship is all about the margins and fine lines. And that's all I'm going to say on the matter.

That's what you get when you ****-house from early the first half: s11 men behind the ball throughout, faking injuries, time-wasting from 15 mins in - tin pot tactics.

And let's not forget Leeds had a perfectly good goal wrongly ruled offside...

Once Bowen leaves, Hull = League 1 fodder.

Enjoy mid-table.

Stop acting like a **** mate. You won by scoring when we didn't. Just leave it at that. By the way, you forgot to mention the diabolical fouls your lot committed without even a booking.
