    Le fee will be fine. He didn’t fancy it today, Ballard done his trying to clear so probably bad

    That Triantis looks a great player for hibs, we should buy him for our midfield, we didn’t seem to have one today

    Don't think we'd be getting 15 points with just a tall defender and a striker mind, bearing in mind we've sold all the other players to buy these two.

    Just watched the goal back in between the boxing. WTF was Patterson doing man. It was worse than seeing it in the ground.

    Also, I knew Wilson was quiet today. Attempted 7 passes all game and only made 3!!

    Saturday nights are so much better after a win. Hope you're all having a decent one, regardless.

    Just been looking at some of Roberts' data from today.

    1/10 accurate crosses (not all his fault but the crosses weren't exactly good)
    1/4 successful dribbles
    71 touches but just 3 in the Hull box, shows he isn't getting into good areas
    4 chances created but totalling just 0.17 xA.
    2 shots, both off target (I'm not even sure either of them were shots either, the header I think he's trying to put across goal, the one near the end I think was a cross/shot into an area)

    When he's on it he's great but when he's off the boil he's completely useless.

    How he played the full 90 is baffling to me.

    To be fair to him (and I'm no fan) there is no point giving him the ball on the halfway line (as happened numerous times today) - he needs to be in possession on the edge of the box.

    Agree. The system is doing him no favours and Riggs form is not helping in that regard either.

    Cheers Dave, we're all meeting up at the Railway on Friday if you're passing.

    I’m not sure if this is true being honest. He seems better with a smart first touch and through ball than expecting him to create or score chances up top which he rarely does. His passes to Hume and early balls to Isidor are his best thing. He is rarely threatens a goal.

    The wingers were always up against 3 players because we always wait for them to regroup. Wonder if it’s tactics or a bit confidence drained

    I did wonder if the Leeds result had knocked the stuffing out of them. Not making an excuse just wondered as I was watching the confidence drain

    Someone will know who it is and will point the finger, I'm sure of that.

    You know I love the forum the crack on with people even when we disagree.

    The support I had from nameless people on RTG when I had my cancer was heartwarming and gave me a lift.

    But social media can be vile at times and this to Mundle is another completely unacceptable situation
