    Not a bad half. Neil is playing really well as is Jobe. Dack offered nowt and personally, hope he isn't played again.

    Wouldn't have minded Rusyn on. Seems to be a safe sub unfortunately.

    Defensive shape looks solid, not allowing them to get their passing rhythm or allowing them to start their build up play.

    Ekwah looked a lot better, winning the ball and driving with it.

    We've had the ball in some good areas but have no creativity at all. Look absolutely toothless.

    In relative control but very poor in the final third. Still don’t understand why jobe isn’t upfront just offers so much more. Clarke and Roberts both isolated quite a bit too. Better than Coventry but lack of quality going forward. Think we’ll pinch a win, haway lads

    At least they are trying to get in behind us and keep fizzing low crosses across our box. We don't do any of that.

    I thought I'd seen a fair bit of it ..

    ... but can't be sure until I see the full 90 minutes back.

    Hull have had one shot, which was shyte, and no corners.

    I'd say we've been good tactically.

    And the manager is blameless in that respect ...

    We have had 8 shots and none of them were even half chances. We create nothing. It has been an issue all season and will continue to be an issue. And yet again people are saying the players we are playing as the fowards are **** but nobody is passing to them. Guarantee we sign a striker in January and they also don't score.

    I'm pretty sure that Jobe's shot was on target - got blocked by a defender.

    The lack of chances created is bewildering considering the talent we have on the pitch.
    Clarke, Roberts and Dack in this division is serious talent.

    No matter who we are playing or who we play up front our forwards barely touch the ball. Of the outfield players in our team the two with the least touches are Dack and Jobe. Happens every week. Yet people expect our forwards to score?

    Because we've got two wingers who don't bother passing to anyone else, one to better effect than the other.

    aye the problem is the tactics. I have no idea what the fix is, I assume it’s not an easy one or it would have been done. I was hoping Mowbray was sacked because he hadn’t found the solution and perhaps naively hoped the new manager would have it immediately
