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.

I hopeyou have recovered from that terrifying experience.

That was one of the least scary ones. It was much more dangerous inside the ground. The police did a good job that day keeping the opposition in their stand.

I was at that game and it wasn’t in the least bit scary.

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.

Shots on target is probably our biggest problem at the moment. In the last few games we've started having shots again, so there's definitely been an improvement. The problem is the vast majority going wide or over. A couple more of these start going in and the confidence should start to come back.

Not sure the shooting was particularly bad against Birmingham was it? Lots of half chances going just wide but I don't remember any clear cut misses.
 
I think teams know our defence and defensive midfield is there for the taking at the moment. Think we need to score 2 to be in with a chance of a draw. However as always sooner or later we will get something.

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 get your point, however I still think since we lost the two forward wide men we are ver light weight up front and in that final third it seems to fall down time and again. Giving the opposition the ball they then come at our fragile defence. When players are constantly playing the safe ball it’s often a total lack of confidence. Let’s not kid ourselves we have problems all over the pitch.

It was more the amount of them that I found frustrating. If a couple of them go the right side of the post we've probably won that game.

Doc had the exact same chance as their second goal
In face he was closer to the goal
He missed the target completely
Their man didn’t

That was right before we went behind as well from memory. If that had gone on target, different game. Keeper was beaten.

I went there when they had a Kop which matched Anfield for size. I wonder if the pitch is still a cabbage patch?

Was at the illuminations bout 1961 or 1962 time. Got my mum to take me to a night game against Everton. Loads of Everton there Everton there and visitors like me just there to say they had seen Stanley Matthews. It was packed like on this photo. Over half the crowd of around 30,000 must have been on the Kop End.
