Match Day Thread Stoke v Hull City

Deserved nothing and got nothing.

Hernandez looked dangerous when he came on, begging the question of why he didn't start, seems bizarre to go from playing two strikers where we looked dangerous, straight to none.

I'd say that was the most predictable result of the season after seeing Jela & Brady injured and N'Doye rested.

 

I dont think Aluko is good enough for the MLS let alone the PL.

 

Fail to beat Sunderland on Tuesday and looking at our fixtures we will be in massive trouble.

 

Great game, great performance:

Bruce had a game plan with tried and tested tactics and it all worked perfectly.

 

We are the only team I've seen in the league this season who don't throw the kitchen sink at a team for the last 10 minutes when we're losing, and I'm really not sure why. Even against the 10 men of QPR it took until about 85 minutes.

 

But how many points do we need to be clear of the bottom three when the run of tough games begins?

 

And we lose and the usual lot start moaning and whinging again. ****ing typical. Disappointing to lose and indeed there arr questions to be asked on today's performance but this over negativity evertytime we lose is embarrassing.

 

He might just get in the San Jose team

 

We have a right to moan after that.

 

What a load of horse ****.

If you judged Chester as a lone striker he wouldn't be good enough for the MLS either.

Aluko is a very talented player, when used correctly, as he has showed on multiple occasions.

He was the best player in the Championship but not good enough for the MLS? Yeah, sure.

 

Spot on.

 

Negative football & tactics
Crouch 1-0 everyone knew he'd score
last 5 mins we have a go, ball falls to the wrong man.. McShane
Burnley, Villa & Sunderland lose

 

Got to blame the manager rather than Aluko himself

 

I agree it is disappointing today and we should have done better, that can't be argued against. However, there seems to be this over the top negativity everytime we lose. We have 2 massive games now and we have to get ourselves up for that.

 

True its not impossible though. 35 should be enough points there are winnable games with Sunderland, Leicester, CP, and Burnley. So there is still 9 points from those games but a loss to Sunderland means we need to win all the other winnable games so its a real problem if we lose.

 

Another round of fixtures gone and we're still 4 points clear.

 

Pious git.

 

As a winger sure, but as a striker? **** no he wouldnt. I wouldnt start Aluko over Wondo, not a chance. Wondo scores every other game, Aluko couldnt do that.

 

Any news on Jela's injury? Will he be ok for Tuesday?

 

I know he isn't a striker , very surprised at the selection today , we had a go at the end and Stoke are nothing special , very frustrating
