    Great stuff from Hull, but we’ve been awful. No energy, no midfield.

    Have we got 11 subs we can bring on?
    Lucky not to be five down, that’s about the only positive from that awful effort

    Very arrogant or stupid line-up.

    We are too leggy to keep making that same, predictable, 40 yard pass from GK/CB to CM. Hull are all over it. Do we have a plan B? Doesn't seem like it.

    In the grand scheme of things, I don't mind the occassional defeat, but the performances need to always be good. This is terrible.

    Called it at the beginning of the window. Not buying a replacement for Downes will very likely be the reason we don't get promoted.

    Fair play to Hull.

    Worst home performance since September, the Leicester and Ipswich games.

    Fair play to you guys. I think Hudds and Bristol C made it obvious how to play against us, and that, coupled with Downes being injured, has completely scuppered Martin tactically.

    As good as you've been, half the division would be beating us tonight (worryingly).

    Well it's no exaggeration to say we've been utterly appalling. Worst half of football since September I reckon. Back to the slow pedestrian ****e.

    Hull have been excellent bar their shooting. Could, no should, be four up really.

    Can we please please please end this Smallbone as a DM experiment? He's just so unsuited to it it's painful. Apart from anything else he's not comfortable taking the ball under pressure from Baz which limits his options massively.

    I'd go drastic with a triple sub. Charles, Fraser and Che on for Rothwell, Edozie and Mara.

    Aside from the obvious midfield issues we're getting bullied massively up top.

    Right, with such a threadbare midfield, maybe change it up and go long or something. Especially when we are under so much pressure.

    Awful performance from Martin.

    I don't think going a goal up would have changed much.

    Well played Hull

    Terrible 1st half from us but it's not over yet.

    A RM half time bashing and a few subs, there is time to turn this around

    Don't think he'd be making a jot of difference tbh. We need a capable holding midfielder.

    How can our passing accuracy be 87% in that half? Must only be the ones across the box because most forward passes are being picked off by Hull. Seriously so many players just aren’t anticipating the ball coming to them and are so slow to react that.
    We’re defending badly but it’s not just because Smallbone is DM, because we are getting turned over out wide as well.
    For the first goal, the Baz stop from Carvalho that he pushed out into the box for the tap in, was reminiscent of Dave Beasant in his prime.
