Match Day Thread Hull City v Stoke

I had my phone flashlight on. Piss poor by the council but to be expected by the local authority. Everything’s a half-measure by them.

 

Why? He can play wide also...

 

We left slightly early got to the bridge near Argyle St as the final whistle blew and the lights on there went off, the ones behind us were still on at that point, so must have gone off soon after, bloody dangerous with that many people walking with no lights.

 

On a positive note the tannoy was so clear in east stand you could hear it all - hurt my ears

 

I think that was because of the fact the stadium one was turned off and a temporary one around the side of the pitch was brought in

 

Longman looked way better last night attacking from the left and pretty dangerous - it’s the only place he should play - on the right he’s predictable .

 

At one time he was near our cornerflag to the right of North Stand and got booked for his efforts.

 

Bar that horrendous miss (which thankfully didn't matter that much) I thought he looked decent for a change. Took his man on, added a bit of trickery and pace, tried to make things happen, unlucky with that late shot. Maybe it was largely down to him playing on the left, or maybe that plus getting back to match fitness.

 

Classic free-role floating 10. Mercurial type.

 

Dont pass forward and also don’t do it very well

 

I agree. You could tell he knew he had to step up and couldn’t fault his effort. He knew he should have done better with his late shot hence the loud shout of f*** as he walked back to the half way line.

 

I thought Pelkas looked pretty good
(I'm looking for positives here)

 

I said last night we need a ****house in the team like Ash or Wayne Brown, or this fella

 

Honestly didn’t know that was allowed. I got booked and fined as a kid playing Sunday league for trying to put someone off a pen. Winding them up before they take the pen seems like fair game since it’s all mind games but during the run-up itself seems like a bookable offence. Can anybody cite a rule to clarify?

 

You didn't leave slightly early, you left early, tosser. That said it gave our eardrums a rest.

 

Maybe he never came prepared with his Davy lamp?

 

COVID?

 

Rotheram shown as worse but are actually doing better than us. Conceding far less and playing more as a team. Perhaps they are more defensive and their game plan suits their team.

 

Phil walks slower than you now, I’m surprised you didn’t catch us up.

 

Sorry but I see a lot on the Board about players being unfit and because they do not have much game time. They are supposed to be professionals and being fit should be in their DNA. Have they never had a tough workout? Not seen anything to see the players are getting fitter. Under Shota all I see is players not understanding what they are supposed to do and just turning up. Shota is out of his depth, the players not bought in to him and Coyle the least inspirational captain in the clubs history
