Obviously an error, I meant coping with TwoWrightsI am indeed.

It’s a cooking pot or can also mean a Dutch oven. It was a play on the term Couchie (or Kouchie if you prefer) which means a joint.
I’ll see if I can dig my boots out.
We did come back after a goal down against Wigan, but did get back level quite quickly. Ideally, we do want to get the first goal, but as long as we keep it at one, then usually heads don't go down until we go 2 behind.
I think it’s going to be 3 or 4 for Blackpool tonight, I won’t be watching tonight though, so there’s some hope we get something, I’ve also backed them to win & again at -1 & -2, so this is Hull City’s chance tonight.
The way we throw in the towel at 2-0 I wouldn’t be surprised if a team beats us by 6/7 soon.
I saw that front pair play for us at Lincoln. We lost 2 - 0 I think. There was a gang of about six Lincoln thugs trying to get into our end through the turnstiles. The local police wouldn't let them in. They just said, "You don't come from Hull," and sent them away. I said, "l do and lifted my jumper so they could see my shirt." No problem. We were behind a goal, facing the sun, which got lower as the game went on. It looked like our entire support was saluting the Lincoln keeper in front of us as we raised our hands to protect our eyes from the glare.
They will have a few out with three sent off at the weekend.
No room for pretty football tonight, and not sure how much some of our ‘superstars’ will be up for a Tuesday night in Blackpool? We can’t afford any passengers, so back to basics for the next two games. I see Daws bringing Slater back alongside Doc, hopefully have Coyle and Elder returning. So apart from upfront, will be very much the last season’s team. Grind it out for 80 mins, then bring quality off the bench and grab two late goals.

If our superstars are up for a Tuesday night in Blackpool we're ****ed.
They'll all have hangovers and be wrecked for tonight.
Kind of hard to get ahead before the opposition score when we keep conceding stupid goals within 15 minutes of kick off in most games to be fair... I think if anything it's the other way around. Players are more reserved in attack knowing we're a sieve at the back. Look what happened to Seri at the weekend. He lost it high up the pitch and they cut through us like butter from deep in their own half. I think the problem is nobody wants to be that guy that loses it so they don't gamble and play 'safe' football. Problem with that is we're far less a threat.
I think it's confidence and momentum. Once we go behind the other team get their tails up and we lose hope. The opposition can dig in and defend their lead. Like you say, we really need to stop conceding that first goal, particularly so easily. Birmingham barely created a real chance yet could've won 3-0 because we gifted them penalties out of nothing and let in a speculative long shot. We have to make scoring as hard for other teams as other teams make it for us.
There was nearly a full half to get the equaliser, there was no reason to be loose at the back. More defensive discipline is what's needed, along with shooting practice.
