Match Day Thread Hull City v Ipswich Town

Not that we’ll be troubling the top 2 anyhow.....

 

Think it's almost unanimous...

We can only get better in second half.

 

Middlesbrough 0 Bristol City 3. The Nigel Pearson effect.

 

Time for the Manager to earn his chips.

 

The absolute state of that first half.

And people wonder why I'm a glass half empty with this side. ****ing hell.

 

Agreed
Luckily this kid in the right is obsessed with crossing it
If he’d cut in he’d be on goal

 

Imagine if he didn’t......

 

Our 'attacking' formation is not working. Much rather see Magennis in the middle trying to hold the ball up. Time for Potter to be subbed and get Wilkes back on the flank

 

It feels like the team think that the opposition don’t know how to play against us. As if opposition managers don’t know what to do, so we can just stroll around.

The tempo needs to be quicker, we need to stop launching it long and start moving a lot more. The midfield are just standing still, Ipswich will have everybody behind the ball in that second half so we are going to have to move a lot more to get into space.

That’s the worst we’ve played this season and I’ve said that too many times for us to be going up automatically. It’s a shame because we’ve got the talent, it’s just not being used properly.

 

Utter ****e again.
Honeyman and Crowley doesn't work (thought he'd learnt that).
WTF dropping Jones.
McCant has to sort it or we can forget it.

 

Sorted ta.
I know it was **** but that's 29 minutes I missed....robbing bastards

 

I

wouldn’t say Whyte has actually done anything to warrant that

 

By watching from the sideline?

 

That could have been our better half

 

I'll be amazed if there isn't changes at half time .. I'd be looking at taking off Crowley and Whyte ... Magennis and Jones to come on and if we had a cover cb I'd have Greaves off as well .. lad looks like an accident waiting to happen tonight

 

Are you sure Honeyman isn’t playing with concussion? He looked like he was!

 

The squad itself would walk this league, it's the goon in charge of managing them that's the problem. Pick any manager from one of the other teams challenging for promotion in this division, be it Jackett, Moore or Ferguson, and put him in charge over this squad and he'd get the best out of them.

 

We instantly look ****ter when Crowley plays. I’m sure he’s a talented player and a lovely lad, but he doesn’t fit into our system and we aren’t going to mould a team around him. I’d get him off and Magennis on.

 

That was last February.

 

Awful
Jones for Crowley
Magennis for Whyte?
Get more balance.
Problem is then if we need to go searching there are no more attacking options left. The wisdom of playing an unbalanced team from the off! ****ing tactical genius.
Looks like his man management has had desired impact on Emmanuel's confidence

 

Might be being a bit harsh on Whyte but he hasn't done anything in this game at all. Honeyman, Greaves etc. have been just as bad, if not worse. Only players having anything close to a 'decent' game so far are Wilks and Burke, the latter showing some sorely-needed leadership by bollocking the rest.
