Re; Pedro....Only got himself to blame...That challenge was asking for a red card....Hope he gets the goal that keeps us up...vis-a-vis Deano at Cardiff.
I didn't know Rovers were playing at home today. BTW Rovers can't get relegated.Hull is one of the rare stadiums
Hull fans showed up and impressed me.
Regardless of the result, I have left the ground with nothing but positive things. I hope you stay up (unless it's at our expense).
That's Hull City..Not saying I told you so, but with our history its always bound to happen....Now that the dust has settled there are so many questions to ask....Why on earth play Joseph? His confident must be lower than a snakes belly..Why put Geldhart on the wing? He's far more effective playing a central role, i.e. both his goals vs Plymouth and Oxford have come when he's in the six yard box...not on the fecking wing. Surely Burstow and Slater would have been better subs than Crooks and Lincoln...Why take off Puerta when he's a creative player?
Hate to say it, but the result of losing to Luton could have a very bad knock on effect for the remaining games...Hope we survive. Clutching at straws...
Good to see you, your son, Ric Glasgow*, Tickton Tiger and others today.
* Arriving on the train today at just after11 am, and leaving at 16-50 am, deserved a far better performance from City.
The way the players trooped off with their heads down on their chests I'd say an arse kicking session is the last thing they want. I thought Selles got it badly wrong today in terms of line-up and subs, but we aren't exactly over stuffed with talent.It could also have a good knock on effect for the rest of the season. A kick up the arse that despite a few good results previously and many saying we're too good to go down we have to actually perform on the pitch and win games they aren't just going to be handed to us.
overstuffed with talent? We don’t have any, we need to do what Fc have and completely rebuildThe way the players trooped off with their heads down on their chests I'd say an arse kicking session is the last thing they want.

Who ****ing cares?
I agree. As I said the following....'but we aren't exactly over stuffed with talent.' We do have a couple of talented players, but not enough...If we do stay up, going to need a big rebuild yes...Not sure if the owner's got it in him.Why
overstuffed with talent? We don’t have any.....
Most of those passes were from Jones and over hot ones by Hughes on a windy day .Most annoying game for a long time.
This was always a hazardous game. The talk all week of us having sorted out our home form was ridiculous. We won two games, against crap teams. We've achieved nothing and our home form was still ****e even before another defeat today. Again we looked overconfident on the pitch. We didn't match their intensity. First few minutes Puerta put three long throws into good areas but no one competed with their defenders who headed them clear easily.
We barely won a header in the game. I said at half time how Hughes was being bullied by Morris and then that immediately cost us for the goal. Morris easily won the header and caused the problem. Obviously it's a freak bounce but it didn't come out of nowhere, it came from a bad situation we got into by being beaten in the air close to our goal. Hughes gets a lot of plaudits but he has a lot of shaky moments and I thought he was pretty terrible on the whole today.
Morris finally met his match when Crooks came on and clattered him. He seemed annoyed he wasn't the biggest guy on the pitch any more. In hindsight it seems daft to have left Crooks out from the start for this one. It was annoying how easily Morris won everything until then. I get that he's a big guy but ffs, someone compete.
Our quality on the ball was ****e too. So many passes off the pitch in the first half. So many balls overhit through to the keeper in the second. Never seen a keeper gather so many simple balls yet not make a meaningful save, apart from the Hughes one late on.
Crooks just doesn’t have the legs to last a full half, let alone 90 minutes. I’m confused as to why he still looks so unfit after several months here. Palmer is a luxury player and a luxury we can’t afford. I’ve been critical of him but I think today would’ve been a good game for Slater to be involved, if only we had some more height and physicality in midfield elsewhere.
Joseph may very well turn out to be a good championship target man, if he’s given a season or two.
The issue is we needed to sign someone who could come in and help us now.
