Was Ivor a bit slack for their second goal or am I being overly critical? He was looking through a load of bodies, so maybe completely unsighted until the last second?
Bit of both. He was badly unsighted, but having got hands to the ball perhaps should have kept it out. He's got plenty of credit in the bank whatever.
 
Not sheff utd last season? Think I rewatched most of that.

Other than the goals, I didn’t think that was a particularly interesting game for us. In fact, I don’t think any of the games under Sellés were that entertaining. We averaged about 40% possession even against average teams, sat deep and hoped for the best.

We had 75% possession against Oxford but it didn’t feel like a typical game under Rosenior either. Under Jakirović, we’re clearly capable of dominating possession against weaker teams but we’re quicker moving it forward. Every time we got the ball on Sunday, I was expecting us to get forward and create a chance. I can’t remember the last time I watched City play like that, especially at home.

As has been said. Loving this tactic of a centre mid dropping between the centre backs to pick up the ball and make a positive pass.

Very little of the constant sideways and backwards passing between defenders and keeper.

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
Without wishing to put a downer on yesterday, we've conceded five goals in our last two games, both against pretty mediocre opposition. Our pre-season defence and against Coventry was pretty rock solid and it can't be a coincidence that we've started to give daft goals away since Ajayi has been missing.

Always liked Horton. I real Alan Mullery’s and he was full of praise saying he would be the first player on his team sheet every time and every team needed a Horton.

An excellent footballer as well as manager, when he started as City's player/manager, he would come on and dictate the midfield, and you would hear him barking orders to other players. Top bloke and very good manager.

One of our best ever managers too, plus a top player with it. Wrongly sacked by Don Robinson, a rash knee jerk decision that probably ended Robinsons interest in City. He knew he'd made a huge mistake in sacking him.
When Horton was still managing and playing for City an amateur team I ran were playing the Ex Tigers one Sunday morning and he came along to watch. One of the Ex Tigers, Jeff Barmby, asked us if we would mind if Brian Horton had a game, although he shouldn't be playing, so if he did would we keep it quiet?
We agreed and he played the first half and was magnificent, a real gent too. His autobiography is a good read too and he speaks well of his time with Hull City. Top bloke.
 
I thought it was a bit of a shame that when Horton was being interviewed, you couldn't hear a word he was saying, at least in the East.

I would say after the testing for the bloke doing the pre match, they had to turn the base down, so when any normal human being talks you couldn’t hear a thing. Everyone talks about Brian as a great coach/manager. Jon Parkin talks about him as one of the fiercest managers he has played for. One not to cross.
 
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 thought it was a good back heel at the time, was nearly in line with him in West Stand, and watching the video someone posted from North Stand still think it was. Anyone claiming he never touched it or it was lucky is talking BS.
