    He'll be a regular prem player within 2 to 3 seasons, he's v good. May not have been on it today, but like a few others, if he's one whose had covid you can maybe understand why

    Completely agree, we could really do with a couple of full backs

    I didn’t wait he was, I’ve said further up the post we need players in all positions. It was just a question?

    Fleming was on the bench.
    Tell your wing back to be not so attacking? Adjust to the talents of the other team?
    All simple stuff for an insane expert like yourself surely ?

    How does he avoid criticism ? He gets plenty of it despite been a young player finding his feet at this level

    That's the first time Fleming has been on a bench all season and he's only just back after injury. I wouldn't have fancied letting him go out and get slaughtered instead.

    KLP and Longman are both pretty crap defensively, but they tried hard. They're not going to magically improve today. You're better off fighting fire with fire and going for it as we did. We had more than enough chances to win the game today, that's the real issue. We fluffed a number of quality chances

    Now Bernard avoids a lot of criticism and he makes a lot more mistakes than Greaves.

    Ermmm they could and should have had at least a couple more .. twice in 2 mins their left winger had 2 glorious chances first half, then Bowler could and should have e doubled their lead second half. Yes we played okay but let's not try to make out we were world beaters today cos we weren't. Too many below par performances, probably a fall out of the covid infection that swept through the squad. We could have got a draw or even a win with more composed finishing, but by the same token we could have lost 3 or 4 nowt. Just hope the next time we turn out they are more recovered.

    We were pretty poor in all departments today but we know we're not actually that bad. Just a bad day at the office, every team has them, just need to focus on the next game.

    2 young centre backs finding their way, hence the need for an older head at the back to organise them. Having said that McClauglin has been the pick of them since this system was employed.

    This.

    Admittedly, options are limited, but there's plenty McCann could do to change it around when it needed changing around. Taking Smallwood off (whom I'm not particularly a fan of) shouldn't have been one of them, unless of course he had a knock or something.

    The mini-revival was nice while it lasted. Critchley had it worked out and once again McCann appeared clueless.

    Bar the last couple of minutes (if you ignore the awful finishing) I thought we were poor.

    Bowler is 2 years older and playing consistently rather than coming on as a sub for Bowen? He had moments when with us but his decision making was poor.

    He's learning his craft the hard way, the guy needs taking out the firing line and also would hugely benefit from a wise old head alongside him.
    Huge potential!

    Think we have an option on some of the loanees. Hopefully Baxter is one of them.

    Hull manager Grant McCann told BBC Radio Humberside:

    "We weren't at our best today, that's for sure, but we're disappointed not to come away with at least a point.

    "The goal was disappointing. We prepped all week on Josh Bowler and we knew he's going to want to come inside on his left foot, and we didn't get it right - we let him come into the box.

    "We shouldn't have let it get to that stage. Is it a penalty? It's 50-50 but we didn't get the rub of the green on it.

    "The chances we created were pleasing but in this division you have to take those chances when they come.

    "Those are two unbelievable chances at the end that we simply have to score, no question about that."

    I didn't manage to see the game as ifollow wasn't showing it, I got a stream from someone, but it wasn't working all that well, so gave up after a few minutes from the start of the game.

    It sounds as if I didn't miss much as we didn't play that well and not the best of games by all accounts, probably expected after the COVID issues, but it seems we did enough to have got at least 1 point from the game.

    Well, let's hope that is the final game for the Allam's in charge, and we can hopefully look forward to a more positive future with this new owner.

    The link Dr Stanley posted on page 5 worked well, first time I have ever seen a link go straight to the game with no pop ups or adds. It was in German but you can't have every thing.

    I watched the same link, towards the end the commentary was switching between German, English and Arabic!
