Match Day Thread Hull City v Ipswich Town

Danny Coles....Had a mire. First time I've heard of a footballer, other than Gazza, apparently crying on the pitch...I can't imagine he played many more times. He was decent when he first came, but that night any confidence drained out of him.

 

I suspect you’re taking the piss again. Clearly McBurnie is our best striker when fit. And Joseph would have probably missed the chance Destan buried so well at QPR. BUT I still think we’re better as a team, if McBurnie’s absent, with Joseph up top because I think he inspires the team to give every last drop of effort, like he does.

 

Ndala is a good player. Occasionally he keeps the ball too long, rather than picking the right pass, and so gets dispossessed. I guess he needs to be more consistent. Blows a bit hot and cold. But Ndala, Joseph, Gelhardt, would be my preferred top 3 against Ipswich.

 

Not impressed with Ndala. Like most young premier league loanees. Offers little.

 

Should be interesting. All the ****housery we were displaying pre injuries has completely dissipated atthus point. I'd hoped Crooks would provide a bit but so far he hasn't since coming back in.

 

you have to wonder how much his injury is affecting him, id say quite big
hes been way more 'timid' if thats the right word recently

 

We were bang mid table before the break though on that sample. 10th to be exact

 

Can't believe people are advocating to drop Destan after two goals in two starts.

What more can the lad do to warrant a starting place?

We'll need to be clinical v Ipswich, the striker may only get one chance. I'd back Destan over Joseph in that situation every time.

 

McBurnie’s absence is starting to worry me now. Feels like it’s a lot more serious than they’re letting on.

 

Tough gig but I would rather returning players be fit and ready when they return.

We need to sit in and frustrate the hell out of them. Fouls, blocks, physical, go down injured and anything I've missed type of game.

Never going to happen with Sergej in charge.

4-2 City

 

they just need to stop saying arbitrary deadlines
been same with lundstram
ready for this or that
and suddenly hes not ready for this game again

didnt use to be a thing

now theyre saying, mcburnie and millar are back for middlesbrough
why even ****ing say that game thats in 3 games time..
stop

what even is mcburnies injury? torn calf muscle or something? guess if its not been healing properly, maybe surgery will be needed

 

It's frustrating that after all the talk of the international break coming at a good time, allowing us to get players back fit, we've actually had nobody return since before the break and we've in fact lost another player in Crooks, so we're even weaker than we were before the break.

 

It did feel overly optimistic, as everyone coming back has been out ages so will need at least one bench appearance. We won't see Belloumi, Millar, Lundstram and McBurnie start until at least Millwall you'd think.

 

Can see Belloumi starting tomorrow, bit of rotation in what is a relative free hit match.

 

Oli McBurnie fitness update emerges as Hull City wait goes on and new timeframe set - Hull Live

 

I always thought we would dip after the international break and then pick up again around Xmas and into the new year when hopefully everyone is fit. That'll work fine as that is the time to make the push for promotion.

I don't want promotion though. The premier league is ****.

 

It would feel one hell of a risk to start Belloumi this quickly after being back?

 

When was the last time you forecast a win Erik.

 

Another Jason Lokilo, or Adamo Traroe.....Plenty of bling, but the veneer soon wears off..Far better than Akintola, but who aint? Not sure who told City he was a decent baller
