Match Day Thread Leicester v Hull City

[Newland Tiger]

Average form would have seen us easily finish in the play-off places

unfortunately we've been ****ing ****e for months

 

[SydneyTiger14]

i'd rather have our run-in than theirs.

Would you? Cov title sealed, boro play offs sealed.

 

[Kalman II]

It's not Coyle bashing it's just fact I'm afraid. He's not good enough both as an on the pitch leader and a player. Would run though walls but that's not enough at this level. Needs to be back up RB at best.

He needs to go entirely. Sick of hearing that he’s some mentality monster because he played with a broken rib once. He is ****. Can’t defend, can’t run with the ball properly, can’t pass, can’t cross and can’t motivate his teammates.

 

[originallambrettaman]

Don’t know why I’m annoyed, I never thought we had a prayer of getting promoted anyway.

 

[Steven Toast]

Aside from the disappointment - logically we were always going to **** this up.

As seen on this thread, we have a well established history of bottling it; allowing relegated teams to ride roughshod over us. Plus - our recent form, attitude and effort has been well below par.

Of course, we can still make the play offs. On paper - it's well possible.

But in reality, no chance.

That right there is exactly why I think we have been so poor. I think the lads thought they had the playoffs sewn up in February, such was the advantage. We've coasted, simple as.

So, the honest truth is that these lads might need to miss out to teach them what ****ing happens when you take your foot off the gas.

 

[ElTigre]

Everyone was giggling about xG being rubbish but maybe just maybe it was right and we were lucky.

How else do you explain it? City concede better chances to the opposition than they create for themselves. We're not very good.

 

[SydneyTiger14]

Wrexham dont win either of their last two games

We need to.

Why don't they?

 

[Charon]

He needs to go entirely. Sick of hearing that he’s some mentality monster because he played with a broken rib once. He is ****. Can’t defend, can’t run with the ball properly, can’t pass, can’t cross and can’t motivate his teammates.

Played like he'd just come out of the pub tonight

 

[McBurnies Hobnobs™]

We are just not good enough.
No point in getting to the playoffs.
All four teams in positions 2 through 5 would easily beat us on current form.

 

[Gone For A Walk]

I don't know what's going on with selection and these changes..joesph barely playing and koumiss being the first sub..taking millar off..the manager is bottling it honestly..we have been in the playoff for 4 months sky said..and he's bottled it..the players take some Balme but those changes not playing Joseph his energy and goals and assist...gobsmacked

Koumas one, yet again, makes no sense whatsoever.

 

[Leftsaidfred-partdeux]

As we all feared, looks like the season is slipping away. Good first half, but second best all over the pitch second half.

Subs were weird again too. Seemed painfully obvious that with Belloumi off, Gelhardt goes out wide and Joseph or Koumas in the centre. Gelhardt looks better out wide than in the 10, and Koumas offers nothing on the wing.

Even Stevie Wonder agrees with you.

 

[Steven Toast]

If you're relying on other teams to get the job done for you, you aren't good enough.

The annoying thing for me is, this team *is* good enough. They just haven't had the right mentality.

 

[Kalman II]

Egan was terrific I thought.

Was he ****. Slow as **** and just hoofed it into orbit every time. Coyle, Egan, Ajayi and Koumas were all woeful.

 

[pcworks]

I bet the Sky boys are wetting their pants at the thought of Hollywood FC in the play-offs.

 

[Ric Glasgow]

Still in with a shout somehow but we'll need to win on Saturday,could be tricky given our current form but we're not out of this yet!!

 

[SydneyTiger14]

Was he ****. Slow as **** and just hoofed it into orbit every time. Coyle, Egan, Ajayi and Koumas were all woeful.

Won the ball back well, sat high creating chances. Was constantly covering coyle too.

 

[Chazz Rheinhold]

Was he ****. Slow as **** and just hoofed it into orbit every time. Coyle, Egan, Ajayi and Koumas were all woeful.

Crooks lundstrum etc?? P

 

[Walter Sobchak]

Frustrating.

 

[balkan tiger]

So many players with a below par performance again.

 

[Trumpton Tiger.]

Anyone expecting Leicester to roll over for us are deluded. Especially after another howler of a referring decision handed them a penalty just after half time. Their player left his leg dangling so to collide with Koumas, oldest trick in the book and the ref fell for it. So a lifeline for them and they took it. Serji must control his antics on the halfway line after decisions like these because just when the side need instructions and a calm head all our coaching staff are jumping up and down arguing with the officials........and of course Leicester snatch another in the mayhem.
We did well to get a point in the end because all game we were all over the place, we never had control of the game, and it was all just a bit too frantic.
Strange substitutions again too. Was Bellomui injured? What has Joseph done wrong to warrant only the last ten minutes and is Hughes on the naughty step also Miller looked fuming when he was brought off, why was he? was Yu any better?
Good to see Slater back and Giles might benefit from that run out.
So disappointing to drop out of the top six but not as disappointed as the Leicester fans will be tonight.
You could say typical City.
UTT.
