Match Day Thread Hull City v Millwall

[Blaknamberblood]

We had 2 shots on target, 1 was the goal from 30 yards out…let’s agree to disagree

i`d have hated to have been with you in the trenches, talk about looking for stuff to moan about, how long does it take your milk to go sour ? loosen up mate, no one is suggesting we are going to get promoted with this squad, it needs work, we know this, Rosie is still earning his stripes, lets grow together, now wouldnt that be lovely !

millwall are very good at what they do, hence why they're in the playoff places still
they make it incredibly difficult to break down
frustrate and slow the game down

while it wasn't a vintage performance, considering we have no available frontmen, you take it
games against sides like this at home are not the prettiest

How many on here where at Boothferry Park, Christmas 1965 when we beat Millwall 1-0 with over 40,000 there? Not a bad crowd for a 3rd division game. Biggest crowd in the country on the day if I remember correctly. It was even commented on the main BBC tv sports news that night. Both teams were battling it out at the top of the division, with City eventually finishing as champions.
Remember the only goal at the North stand end, an own goal at that, but not many realised it on the day, Harry Cripps? Bit of a goal mouth scramble, I was stood right up against the barriers in the North Stand and just remember an enormous cheer as the ball nestled in the back of the net, players shaking hands then trotting back to the centre circle. Sure Tom Wilson who we signed three years later was Millwalls number five that day.
It was a quick turn around in those days and we were at The (old) Den the following day. City enquired before setting off as to the state of the pitch and were told it was perfectably playable. When they got there it was frozen solid, and unfortunatly our kit man, if we had one, hadn't packed the right boots/studs for the state of the pitch and City spent 90 mins slipping and sliding all over the place and losing 3-0.
I never dreamt at the time that the crowd would be the biggest home crowd I would ever see City play in front of. It wasn't even that much of a surprise at the time, it was almost expected and it was pay at the turnstile on the day.

Maybe Tigerboy98 would prefer a tap in?

Think a lot of credit has to go to Rosenior. Picked an attacking side, saw what wasn’t working and had the balls to change it at HT. All three who came on have done very well (Longman is again winning me over - I wish he could be that aggressive and forward thinking every week) and we were the better side for the majority of the second half. We defended towards the end to hold on to the lead. Darlow outstanding and Traore just proving how useful he is. I was watching his goals this morning. If he’d have started I’d have backed him for a couple of goals. Maybe next week. UTT.

Yep, I thought the Peterborough relegation on 54 points was 10 years ago.

Yeah we’ll take the result however the performance was poor, let’s not kid ourselves.

Their keeper made one save all game.

Poor performance attacking wise I should say, obviously the defending was great.

I’d be happy with a few more chances created and shots at goal

That save at the end by darlow was superb

Thank **** he never made two.

 

[SW3 Chelsea Tiger]

Great win….I didn’t see that coming, I was expecting a loss tbh.

well done Rosie

 

[Nikica Jellyfish]

Brilliant win, Adama is absolute heat and Darlow gigantic performance.

5 points from 3 with no strikers. 2 outta the 3 in playoff contention and 5 months ago we had the worst defensive record in the top 6 divisions.

Yet some people have to focus on the negatives.

 

[Donatella Anybody]

Must sign Darlow up a toon pal of mine tells me they need to release keepers as they’re overloaded with them

How many strikers did we have on the pitch?

 

[pierredelafranchesca]

What I will say about ebiowei, and pelkas to an extent, is that whoever doesn't start in that front 4 for us comes off looking better than those who did start, last few game sbeen the same, longman starts and he's ****, comes on and he's played well.
