Match Day Thread Hull City v Coventry

After a poor start we have at least grown into the game, Palmer had to score, but Pandur has kept us in it.

 

We usually play better 2nd halves

I fancy us now

 

Not for the first fifteen minutes of the second half though, we’re usually dire for that period.

 

Tough watch that. Need Puerta on for Slater.

 

We couldnt score in a brothel with a couple of £50 notes in our pockets. Same old , same old City

 

Avoid the usual stupid goal just after half time and I might start to believe we can get something.

 

Can someone explain to me why palmer didnt go near post...? There are 3 players right of the goal and the goal gaping the other side...

 

Slater has been really good

 

Jesus, the ****e that gets spouted on here. Sky showed a table based on results since Selles took over, showed Coventry 3rd and us 8th. That's why we're within a shout of staying up.

 

Palmer had half the goal unguarded but inexplicably chose the other side. Pathetic but not even that surprising. His effort against Luton at the same end was ****e too. We've scored once at the North stand end in three and a half months, by the way.

They look way better than us but somehow we've got into some decent positions.

Ref is one of those cowardly ones who's **** scared of a goal happening so gives a defensive free kick any time he possibly can, which has felt like about half of our attacks that half. And not letting us take a corner because he wanted to insist on absolutely 0 injury time was just ridiculous, how can you possibly justify that?

 

Really good is stretching it a bit, he's had some decent moments but he has also gone missing in that midfield for much if the game, runs around a lot looking busy but doing bugger all

 

He did set up Palmer to be fair - so created the best chance of the game.

 

as I said he had some good moments, but for the majority of the half he went missing

 

First half stats
Goals: 0-0
Shots:3-6
On target: 2-4
Touches in the box: 7-10
Fouls: 5-3
Corners: 3-3
Possession: 47%-53%
Attendance: 21,659 (2,286 away)

 

Oh I'm not trying to say he's been brilliant. We need that midfield to be a bit tougher this half.

 

His second attempt showed his left foot is not very good. I think the goalie starting to dive one way made Palmer decide to go for the other side. Which was daft as 3 players were covering that side.

 

Palmer is ****ing ****. Just seen the replay. Looking forward to seeing my first half of football for about a month now. Don’t let me down city or I shall cancel sky when my contract ends next month and not watch another.

 

Oh I totally agree on that, they need to get closer to them

 

Yup agreed the results since he took over have been great, but that's largely down to the form of our keeper ( unless he's the current POTS just because people like him and ignore his **** form? ) and a couple of fluke results as I said. If it had been down to Pedro ( or any player ) bagging 10/12 goals since he took over then I'd be saying it's down to that. But it isn't.

 

So, according to the HDM 20,000 for a Cup quarter final was a huge crowd. Which adjective should the use to describe a larger crowd? Humongous? Gigantic? Or, being the HDM, worrying times for City as there are 3,000 empty seats?
