Match Day Thread Hull City v Sheff United

He’s still not captain material and I’d still sign a new right back when able to do so.

 

Absolutely,.

Obvious but escapes some on here – division is far far from a level playing field, we escaped by a cat’s cock hair last season' have a transfer ban versus some of the biggest wages in the league; yet some on here seek to make the case how lucky we were to win rather than celebrate.

We win by any means possible – which successful teams tend to do.

Enjoy.

 

Agree completely. And it was a convincing win vs a side that really should be premier league right now, and should at least be at the top end of the table. Yes they are struggling right now for form but their quality was still clear to see and we not only matched them but beat them without ever really feeling under the cosh. And excellent result for us against a massively underperforming team.

 

I'd be shocked if sheff u don't finish top and walk the pl next year with this squad.

 

Doubt they'll go up but I'd still be surprised if they went down. They didn't look like your usual relegation fodder, or Luton last season.

 

We won because we were organised , defended well and got behind the ball like so many have done to us over the last two to three years . The wind against second half made it hard to get out and attack . They set up with 5 at the back so deserve what they got .

 

Read Blades forum apparently we are hopeless and will go down !
On the positive side one of their fans young sons said ‘ can’t we play like Hull dad? ‘
Not with Wilder you can’t .

 

Mr Wilders take on the game.

 

I don't get it with interviewing mangers after the game...What the hell can they do? It's gone. You move on. It's not as if they were on the pitch kicking a ball.

 

Some fans just like to hear a manager front up. But there’s not a lot they can say to be fair. There’s defo more harm that can be done as a manager. That’s why I like Jak. Says it as it is.

 

I see what you mean, but the should/could/would reaction that comes out sometimes drives me Harry Potter. Interestingly, enough I tuned into Radio Sheff at about 5 last night to listen to 'Praise or Grumble'. I heard their presenter say Paul Cook, boss of Chesterfield, never talks to the radio or the print media. And thought to myself there's a first.

 

He's struggling isn't he. Fkn brilliant.

 

I've just been reading it. Hilarious comment.

2.14 in. Hughes was stood in the box with their player outside the box. Looked at the time, and still looks to me like Hughes stepped out of the box, or at the worst onto the edge of the box, and landed on their players foot. Certainly not "defo in the box".
Not that it matters now like ...

 

Pound shop Warnock.

 

Pains me to say it but I doubt they'll be in the bottom 3 come the end of the season. But for now I'll enjoy seeing them and the massive struggling at the bottom.

 

They've lost 5 of those games one nil, but also had a couple of heavy defeats (4-1 and 5-0).

Watching them yesterday I'd say they've more than enough to pull it round. Can't see them doing a Luton at all.
