    Agreed. He's done nowt and Ba running at them will open up space. Pritchard been pretty wasteful too, maybe Rigg comes on at 60.

    Hull have gone out to spoil the game ...

    ... they won't be able to keep this up for 90 minutes imo.

    Our bench will kill them.

    Need to see an improvement, and surely we are capable. Enthusiasm draining stuff that.

    Hull may just be the dirtiest team I have seen us up against this season. They have been piss poor but barring a few 5 minute spells we have been flat. Clarke as ever looks a different class though.

    Well, I'm not even there and I can't be arsed doing the second half.

    Like I said last week - the gamble on Beale has failed .We're just waiting for the inevitable now, both tonight and generally.

    Got no threat down the left because Hume only wants to go inside and offers Clarke little support when he's being doubled up on.

    Got no threat down the right because Pritch is playing centrally and Seelt is a 6"5 centre half who naturally can't get up the pitch.

    Got no threat through the middle because we are playing Jobe who is not creative and Neil who is better deeper as the forward thinking midfielders.

    Our striker has 5 touches despite working his socks off yet people seriously think a new striker solves our problems?

    What the **** is the plan? Bore Hull into submission?

    5 yellow cards. They'll need to change something or they'll end up with nobody on the pitch. Need to keep running at them and draw more fouls.

    That was utterly pointless to the point I’m wondering whether to stick the Traitors on.

    Speakman got the coach he wanted to improve the players but the players will only improve playing in a side the right way. Their values will plummet if this is the future.

    Agreed, a couple of good subs and they'll fold.

    Sorry, but this is not a good watch. And Hull are terrible.

    Ba has to come on, with Mayenda.

    It's been dull as dishwater but not really that bad, just toothless and dull.

    Go on then ...

    ... seriously, if we end up winning 3-0 how dull would that have been.

    Hull have killed thev game, we're trying to play football

    Games like this really highlight how much we miss a proper number 9 imo.

    Hull are there for the taking but we need Jobe off for Rigg or Aouchiche for me.
