Ba's best position is a winger, we might have bought him as a cm but he was a versatile player in france who played 3 or 4 different positions

Young players sometimes take time to find their best positions, for me Ba has the skill set to be a good winger for us

Absolutely.

He just looks completely lost in the middle of the pitch, that may change in time but I’ve been impressed whenever he has played on the right wing.

And we should be playing people to their current strengths.

He might go on to be a winger, but from the clips on YouTube in France he was playing centrally.

Doesn't help when he's getting abused by the fans for missing 1 chance.

A few driving runs last season from the middle. Was it Norwich away he won the game. Might be wrong like

Not sure it will be a disaster. At the moment I keep thinking about Tommy Docherty’s Man U tactics. Give the ball to George Best.
Take Clarke out, yeah big loss, but we’ll have to find a better way of playing.

And the opposition wouldn't have a clue how we would set up

I wonder whether there comes a point Speakman demands more of KLD. I still hark back to our wage bill being at the lower end. I dont demand we mortgage the club, but I cant reconcile where we seem to be in season 2 up here. Maybe this is the week we see an uplift. U20s from France can be got for low end wages. A 26 year old from England costs a bit more, understandably so. It is the latter we need though, whoever the bloody coach is.

It's only just come to me, but it's been mentioned a few times about us having one of the lowest wage bills in the league.
That to me could be a good thing , what happens if the likes of Ba and Adil really kick on next season, it gives us the opportunity to improve and extend their contrcts, we could also improve and extend, Ballard, Patterson, Neil's contracts as they improve.
Paying lower wages hasn't really stopped us bring young talent in, it just enables us to improve their contracts as they develop rather than cash in at the first opportunity

45 and 6 players in their half stopping them playing it out.

46 and O9 winning the ball in their half with 5 players ahead of him. Nothing comes of it as Pritchard cuts inside where Bellingham is and we needed someone out wide.

47 and Ekwah unlucky to be booked

48 long ball and Hull fashion an opening by playing some slick football.

49 and Clarke cuts in and I can't workout if it's a shot or a cross to Rusyn at the back post. He should have definitely have made more of it but looks like he was caught in two minds.

49:53 and 6 players pinning them deep in their own half from a corner. Looks like a press to me.

59 mins and Carvalho drops back into the pocket to try and get on the ball and make things tick.

51 Seelts run past a few players but no options to release it.

53 and some tidy play gets us attacking down the left for a corner. Delivery in is poor and hits the first man who clears.

54 and a stupid ball from O9 to Hume let's them in. O9 goes down from nothing while Hull attack. He's straight back on his feet when we clear and he's embarrassed himself and us. Cheating yet again.

55 Hull moving it around much better.

56 and 5 of our players pressing them deep in their half.

57 some decent play from Carvalho and he creates a half chance.

57:42 we won the ball in their half with O9 high up.

58 we are doing alright, winna free kick, yet Danny Collins mentions the moans in the crowd. Set play from Pritchard is low and cleared by the defender but would have been comfortable for the keeper unless it got a deflection. Resulting corner is looping and easy for the keeper to clear.

61 JC puts a good ball in the box which is cleared well with two of our lads about to tap home. Ball comes to Hume who makes the keeper make a good save. Resulting corner is better but nobody around where it lands.

and O9 has a shocker with his header back to Patterson, Patto must do better for the challenge but it could be a foul and a goal kick.

63 and we have 6 players trying to press them in their own half.

64 poor cross in from Dan Neil from the left.

64:31 and Hull are having to defend with 10 players within 35 yards of their box. Clarke gets down the line and the pull back is deflected wide when Rusyn tried to flick it goalwards. Decent corner from Pritch results on a chance from Ballard which he really should have hit the target with.

66 cross from Neil caught by the keeper. Noticeable things are Pritchard and Bellingham are not pressing as much. We still have Rusyn harassing while a block of 4 close down their options.

67 and a shot from Jobe is deflected wide for a corner which is easily cleared.

68 wild shot from Ekwah after being encouraged by the crowd.

70 stupid header back from O9 to Patterson who should be punching rather than catching. Looks more of a foal from Sharp as he jumps into Patterson without making an attempt to win the ball. I'll also point out it was a goal kick as it came of Sharps head lol deal with the ball and Pritchard poor control goes to their lad and then the shot is going wide until it deflects off Neil. Totally MB's fault.

71 and the chants of being sacked start which is shocking considering the turn of events leading to the goal and how we've played.

72 good play from Hemir and we are playing good stuff and threatening

73 shot from Ekwah goes over and the boos ring out

75 and Collins mentions we were looking good until the unfortunate goal.

76 and Clarke deflected cross goes behind our 4 players in the box waiting for the cross. More moans from the fans lol

76:51 Pritchard on the edge of their box and his shot is blocked by Hull. They have 10 players behind the ball.

77 cross from Pritchard but it's straight at the keeper. Rosenior is trying to urge his players to get out.

78 shot from Hemir is way out and easy for the keeper. It was good running by Hume to get us up the pitch.

79 soft free kick given to Clarke down our left deep in their half. Poor ball in from Pritchard meets the first man.

80 **** from Dan Neil on his left peg goes wayward. Double change for us.

81 good little run from Pritchard finds Ba when it should have came out wide to the right as Ba is immediately challenged and we lose the ball. Neil wins it back Ba is played in and his cross is put wide by the keeper. The following corner is another let down.

83 and Hull have everyone behind the ball.

84 and Ba looks to have been body checked without any attempt from their lad to play the ball and ref says carry on.

85 another good ball in the box from Hume is blocked and put out for a corner. Ballard held and brought down from the following corner. I can't believe that wasn't spotted and a penalty given. Their lad has his back to the game and rugby tackles Ballard lol MB's fault though

89 ball into Hemir but the path to Pritchard in the box is blocked

89:57 cross from Neil headed away by on of their 9 players in the box.

90 cross from the left and Hemir nearly gets his head on it. At the same time Ballard is being grappled to the ground in the box.

91 Collins can't remember Hull doing anything other than the goal and 1 shot in the first half.

92 and two balls into the box from Pritchard. We are knocking on the door until Clarke is hit in the face only to do the same and foul is given to Hull. MB's fault

94 JC attacking their defence and gets our 12th corner. Ball in is decent but Patterson looks to stop Jobe getting his head on it.

95 and the whistle goes and the crowd goes off it.

Overall we bossed the game, they should of had 1 maybe 2 reds, never a corner leading to their goal which only went in because of the deflection + we had a stonewall penalty that the officials fail to see.

Ooohhh and this clueless muppet was wrong when I said we did press.

Agreed about the fan part

He played loads of different positions through the age groups in France. Best game i saw was at rwb, got up n down the line throughout n caused opponent loads of problems

The reason our wage player will be lower is because we sign young players. Most will be signing their 1st big contract when they join us. If you sign older players youll normally have to match the wages that they are on

Dont mind us having a low wage bill at the minute as long as we can extend the players we want too - which we have done so not really an issue for me

I don’t buy this whole players aren’t good enough, some have hardly been tried and when they have it’s for 5/10 mins at the end of a game we’re trying to scrape a draw from.
Stop playing players out of form and in positions they aren’t used to and we may see an improvement, to keep playing the same players but just moving them around the pitch isn’t helping anyone.
