    Playing against a team who are in contention for the playoffs and we look better than them. They can't cope with us running at them. We look far more dangerous.

    are you being sarcastic with that? Sorry not having a go. But in my opinion games like this prove that a proper number 9 would make zero difference

    They have had the best chance in a half of few chances , Jobe has looked lost yet again. Rusyn needs some help up front

    100% mate. The change he has made is clear. Might take a while to click.

    I would take Jobe off. Maybe Adil in this more attack minded line up, or personally my man Rigg.

    I have to fess up, Ekwah has been really good as the 1. I have been om his case recently but tonight he has been exceptional. Positionally perfeect.

    I agree Seelt is a bit high at times and it is a concern, but they seem unwilling to commit to me. If ever a side have come for a 0-0 and hope for a set piece it is these. Dont blame them, that is football.

    I see folks saying this is awful. Not for me at all. Sadly Hull are well organised across the back. Credit to Hull for their setup. Now can we work a few little things out. A bit more width on the right to make the 4141 really wide. A bit more back to goal play from Rusyn. We arent far away.

    Sky say the hull move was the best of the first half! Obviously missed ours at the end!

    Shocking game of football tbh, both teams havent shown any quality

    Hate singling out players, especially young lads but Jobe needs dropped. He isnt offering anything in or out of possession. Id get Ba on to give us some width out right and bring pritchard inside. Pritchard picking up some nice positions but end product has been really poor

    We have to start moving the ball quickly, we did it the last 5 minutes but need to do for the whole of the 2nd half

    Need to be proactive with subs this half as the game is there for us

    The ref has been superb fwiw, despite missing what I thought should have been a red for Coyle

    Agree with ba coming on. We need some balance on the right for me, easy to put bodies on Clarke when there’s no threat on the other side. Seelt has got forward too, he’s had a good half, deserves a run

    No I’m being serious.

    For all Rusyn is a willing runner and his movement is clever, he’s not an outlet. We don’t have the plan B of going a bit longer and hitting the forward, like we could with Stewart.

    Hull doing what they have to do with a weak team out. We might not like it but our lads can learn from games like this because they’re committing fouls that 9/10 we let go and get punished.

    ok I understand now. We’d have to take plan B mind. I don’t think we would. I think we’d stick Keiffer Moore up there but stay with plan A

    If we want to create space for Clarke we need to get Ba on wide right and play down the side more then look to switch it to Clarke quickly and isolate their RB 1v1, not only is he on a booking, but he's ****ing dogshit (Coyle).
