All I can say is I disagree. The mess the owners have caused this club to be in is affecting the players and staff. I know one thing, if I hated my bosses but knew I was contracted for £10k a week or so for 3 years, I wouldn't give a **** about performing either.
Agree, if he insists on that formation I'd play Irvine and Batty when fit . Worst thing about making Henriksen captain is guaranteeing him A place in team
No we place that blame squarely on the coaching staff and what standards they are prepared to accept.
I think anybody clued up knew that, apart from a few heads in the sand types impressed by bollocks talk and photos of his breakfast. Trouble is nobody else in their right minds would come back and manage us now so we are going to have to see the season out or the Allams out with him. What on earth was he thinking today starting Stewart and Henriksen again together
This is only what was expected guys. We have a captain who was atrocious last season yet this season is captain material We have toral, Irvine and Stewart making up the central midfielders and none of them were deemed good enough last year to regularly play yet this season are starters. We have lost all the experience in the side Meyler McGregor Dawson Hernandez Laarson To name a few So there really isn't any point in debating whether we should be beating a team. Last year the team narrowly avoided relegation and now this season are even weaker so there is only one thing coming! League 1 football
A bit of an insult to School girls SCB?! The girls I see play are a tad feisty, certainly wouldn't be breached, at short range, without challenge. (Edit; that doesn't quite sound right, but you get my gist! )
I don't envy Adkins having to work with Ehab and Darnborough. Ehab's a cockwomble and without doubt responsible for the rapid decay of the club and the malaise strangling the fanbase. Even with all the circus in the background, Adkins seems to be making boneheaded decisions with lineups and substitutions and beating us at the moment seems far too easy, even for the poorer sides in the league. I can't imagine being the manager of Hull City at the moment is the most enjoyable experience but Adkins is making a rod for his own back with stupid decisions. Something has to change, even if we go down it would be nice to go down without this timid bollocks we're seeing every week. It's been a downward spiral for 2 years, but we can definitely show more than we are at the moment and that stops with Adkins. Trouble is, attracting someone worth their salt as manager with laughing boy in charge is comparable to crossing the Atlantic in a canoe.
But Marshall comes in. As experienced as McGregor. Lichaj, Elphick and Martin all now in. All experienced. Experienced Kingsley back playing. (edit: forgot MacDonald too. Experienced and made Barnsley captain). Kane and Burke are reasonable additions. As good as last years loanee lads. We have match winners and pace with Grosicki and Miinkovic. Again both very experienced. We have striking options with KC, Dicko, Keane and Martin. The squad is more balanced than last seasons mess. CM is weak but Nige has much better options than he's using. Its not a squad to be challenging but its a squad capable of much better than this. And most other clubs we are playing are poor. Sorry to say but question marks are growing over Nige.
A bit unfair to schoolgirls? ... I described their second goal as “schoolboy defending” & simply set out to include the schoolgirls who play when describing their third. In doing so I ensured the board’s wide ranging diversity & culture levels were maintained ... honest.
Burns and Swan on the radio were baffled at his substitutions and said what I am always saying. Two passes and then hoof it back to the keeper what is the point of that. Didn't make last weeks game as I was busy with athletics. Hubby went with his brother and enjoyed the game. Today he switched the radio off after the 3rd goal. Just keep hanging onto the thought that the good times will be back at some point.
Change the manager again maybe stay up then that will get stale and change about 10 players again. It doesn’t matter we will go down this year, if not this year it will be next as long as those idiot chairmen are in charge. Toral De Wijs Kingsley Henricksen Dicko Stewart All aren’t good enough and there’s more. Cheap free transfers on cheaper wages than everyone else is paying. It’s a cost cutting order of the highest order. The current atmosphere isn’t set up to succeed at all Meyler said as much in his interview. Till these two muppets leave we will go further down every year. Turn your attention to them not Adkins.
We started last season with 4-4-2 and looked decent until we picked up injuries and went to 4-2-3-1. From then we have been poor. Forget clever tactics, go back to basics with wingers protecting full backs, full backs supporting wingers, two up top to harass defenders, and a CM pair who can tackle, show for the ball, and pass.
