Conveniently forgets to mention the blatant penalty we should’ve been given.
He was adamant that he’d just seen it and it was offside. The interviewer corrected him and said it was actually on side. Oh was it, ok it looked off. The interviewer then said there was a hint of handball, which Robins then seized on. Pathetic.

This team's ability to keep pulling results out of games in which we're struggling is incredible. I keep thinking this is a game too far and we're starting to revert to the mean a bit and they keep proving me wrong. The pattern of conceding so many goals game after game suggests that we'll slide down the table but it just doesn't happen. I keep thinking we'll lose confidence at some point and go on a bad run, and it just doesn't happen. Sergei deserves an awful lot of credit.

..and now, finally, we have players coming back.
That said, Ajayi is going to be a big miss.
 
Robins being a right c**t in his post match interview. Complaining that ajayi was offside but saying he wasn’t complaining at the same time. Blamed everything on us at the end. Saying there was a foul by crooks in the build up to the goal at the end. Talking out his arse
To be fair to him the view from the replay straight after the goal which was in line definitely looked either offside or at best dead level. Then sky chose to use another angle from the dead ball line which appeared to show it as onside. The linesman should have been dead level and it would have been tight. Robins may have only seen the dead level one.

If you watch Serj on the touchline against Ipswich he was going mad when their goal looked offside but following the game it became clear it was legit.

Those interviews straight after a game, especially when you've just been bummed in front of your own fans with minutes to go as well as some push and shove after the game, are not going to throw up his most sensible response. He strikes me as a very capable manager who has been beaten today by a brave manager who decided to roll the dice instead of play for a draw. Unsual tactic away from home at the second place side in the table and it's caught them napping.
 
'We started to run and fight for every ball' - Hull reaction
Hull head coach Sergej Jakirovic told BBC Radio Humberside:

"I'm very satisfied, especially after the second half when we played very well.

"The first half was not satisfying at all because we didn't play well, they were much better than us. I said to the players, if we continue like this, we can go home immediately. But what I like most about this team is that they can change everything.

"With the two substitutions at half-time, our reaction was very good. Also we started to run and fight for every ball. We equalised early and that gave us more confidence, more power, strength and energy.

"At the end, we stole a goal. It was a great counter-attack and Joffy [Joe Gelhardt] scored and I'm very happy because it was an important victory."

Serj got back to Cottingham quick!
 
Annoyingly I missed this as some friends were making us lunch (home-made Kleftiko - best I’ve ever tasted). Can anyone tell me when the full match replay goes on Tigers Plus for 1230 Saturday games?
Usually a couple of days after the game TM.

Love that man! I think he is building something special here

He appears to be humble enough to take days like this in context and not get excited whilst at the same time keep the players positive and full of belief.
We are punching at the minute, but because of the way he is keeping us fighting regardless of the circumstances you wouldn't bet against us finishing top 10 or higher.

I would love to think in a years time he will have a normal transfer window because the guy looks like he knows how to get a tune out of grafters, imagine what we would look like with 3 or 4 sprinkles of quality?

I dont know what the situation transfer wise might be in January, but I think we might look a very attractive proposition for some.
