We've conceded 0.9 goals a game since the manager came in. Puts us top 4 defensively yet according to you we need a new back 4. Says it all really.
The only players I’d be keeping from the current squad are Darlow Macca Greaves Christie Seri Tufan Slater Traore Oscar Tetteh The rest we should be trying to move on and replace with a better standard. Excluding the young’uns Simons, Vaughan etc.
He was the best thing ever when he was demolishing advertising boards in pre-season Turkey but I think we need more from a CB than blood and thunder. I don't think he's technically good enough, that's all. He'll do well in L1 or L2.
If only we had a player who could score .10 of a goal more than we concede just think how high up the table we would have been.
If you extrapolate Rosenior's points per game average over the 42 games played so far then it puts us 6th on 63 points. Under Roseniors 24 games in charge we've been in playoff form yet we have a **** squad, **** defence, **** attack and can't play out from the back and need to get rid of half the squad to compete at the level we've been competing at statistically for the last 24 games. That's how ****ing ridiculous city fans are sometimes.
there’s so much more to it then that, understand the view point but it’s come at complete sacrifice to any sort of attacking play or flow. Our entire game is based off playing from the back to open up the opposition, if you think Coyle and Jones are up to it in possession of the football then I’m at a loss. we are reasonably solid, we get lucky and have had some mega displays from both keepers but the reality is we play well within our limits and build very slowly from the back. We need better ball playing defenders who can help us control the game and get on the front foot. As pure defenders Coyle and Jones aren’t terrible squad players, Coyle goes missing for me way more then jones but the improvements lie with the ability on the football, for me it isn’t good enough.
It's come at the rate of 1.51 points per game which puts us around 6th in the table. It ain't luck after over half a season worth of games. Maybe, just maybe we're actually better than you think we are?
His next justification for slating Coyle and the rest of the back line will be something really odd like “yeah but he hates fish… AAAAND Hull is errrm was a erm fishing city so he must be shipped out … cos he’s **** n that!!”
