Match Day Thread Hull City v Oxford

Not sheff utd last season? Think I rewatched most of that.

 

He did really well. From my angle in East Stand I thought it must have been deflected or beat the keeper at front post as Gelhardt appeared to be wider.

 

Did the little girl, Emily, get a shout out on 24 minutes? Would have been just after Crooks scored.

 

No I don't think it happened. I guess that goal must've taken people's focus away from the time.

Edit: apparently it did happen and I just didn't notice it in the North stand.

 

On the coverage it sounded like sustained cheering for her.

 

We talked about this the other week but what am I missing? Don't get me wrong I love Hughes, he's a classy defender with obvious potential and should go for a lot one day. But right now we're conceding a lot of goals from crosses and whilst the Coventry game was a big defensive effort I haven't really seen that sort of play in the last two from any of the defenders. I'm not sure I see the idea that his value is going through the roof with every game, or that our defence was particularly good yesterday on the whole.

 

It's possible I just missed it, or maybe it didn't happen around me for some reason.

 

He created a lot of chances for us with his drive forward but I agree he's still defensively shakey.

 

We’re in East Stand, there was a full minute of very loud applause starting on 24 minutes with lots of people on their feet.

 

Emily was applauded and then Crooks gave her a nice send off. I’d imagine for a devout tiger it was just right for the family.

 

She did yes, applause started on 24 and by 20s most of the stadium were clapping, was a nice touch for the poor girl

 

Yes to both.....looking at the replays, he's unsighted but still gets both hands to their second, the save in the second half tho....absolutely top top class, i'm in S2 directly behind the shot, looked in all the way till he got his fingertips to it, very much redeemed himself

 

Did you watch the Coventry game PLT? I really fear you’ve got this subconscious bias that Hughes is still shaky defensively, everytime Rudoni entered our penalty box his efforts were blocked by Hughes. Yesterday, Hughes won 100% of his aerial duels. We conceded 1 goal from a lucky flick that fell straight to their striker with a good finish and the other was because neither Palmer or Gelhardt were switched on enough to close down Brannagan.

Hughes has been phenomenal in the 2 league games

 

Asking for a friend- did Kamara back heel the ball for the winner or did the one two with Giles come off the defender and miss Kamara completely - I think he missed it

 

Yes kamara back heeled it.

 

it did come off the defenders leg but you have to force them into those type of errors

it is a bit sad the love of some on twitter to exclaim how kamara didnt touch it, theyd genuinely prefer him to miss a penalty than score it i reckon
its weird, are all fanbases like this?

 

I can't think of another that would so gleefully hope a former player and manager failed but here we are.

 

He didn’t mate he did the defender though. It’s clear as day on the angle from below the north stand it hit the defenders ankle, either way it was his dummy that caused it so he deserves the credit

 

I'm 71 and you don't listen to anybody else, **** 'em.

 

yea, one boro fan said that jones had a good game at the weekend
and there were so many comments from city fans
calling jones ****, we have so much better

its genuinely pathetic and i cant understand it
for a player who gave nothing but 100% in 200 games for us
