Match Day Thread Hull City v Northampton

An opposing manager who big's us up.... go figure...


"Hull are one hell of a side," said Brady. "They're a Championship side in waiting with the way they move the ball and everything about them.


"It looks like they're probably going to take the title. There's a long way to go but we faced a top-class side today and the one thing we didn't needed was to concede a hell of a strike after 30 minutes.

"We had to try and stay in the game and manage the game and see if we could get into half-time at 0-0, but unfortunately it wasn't to be.

"We moved the ball very slowly in the first-half, which was hugely disappointing. We came out second-half and we were a lot quicker but Hull are that good that they're on you all over the pitch and they don't give you a moment to breathe."

 

He’s right though!!

 

Great that we have 3 strikers on double figures.

 

Where have all the plastic Geordies gone??

 

Telling themselves a point after coming from behind was a good result.

 

I'm not too sure, I think the forward line will be our biggest problem assuming we go up. Magennis isn't championship standard, Crewe worked out how to nullify Wilks for 89 of 90 minutes last week and KLP needs to up his strike rate. I won't mention Eaves...
I know KLP and Wilks are still young but the championship will be an unforgiving place for them.

 

I read that online, put a smile on my face...

 

Just seen an Everton defender hoof the ball back to Palace and effectively set up their goal, and made me think about how composed our back four were in possession today.

 

I honestly think our back 4 and midfield will do ok in the championship.

 

Sunderland fans saying the pitch cost them..... try playing on having to wear flippers....

 

I'm by no means assuming we'll get there but I agree. What's Burke's contract situation - he's been here 3 years so is he at the end of it? Definitely would like to get Alfie Jones signed up beyond this year.

 

Tommy Browell did that too.

 

Blimey, I missed that, who have we sold them to?

 

Them ****ing allams

 

Now I'm even more confused, I though they already owned them.

 

I can believe that, sneaky Posh trying it on again to slow the game down. If that's the sort of pitch the mud specialists like then league 1 or below is where they belong. Personally, I want Sunderland to finish second to reward the great following of an underachieving club.

 

SAFC now have a young sugar daddy as owner, so are all doshed up.

Let them rot in the 3rd tier for a while yet.

 

Don't know if it's been put on already but here are the highlights.
