Quotes from Adkins post match interview. "Nowhere near them for the first half hour". "Better possession for first twenty minutes of second half". "Shocking defending for second goal. Shocking defending for third goal". "I look at myself. Did we get preparation/selection right". He didn't answer those questions of course. Evandro felt hamstring so not fit. "I had a meeting with all staff asking why has the injury happened". Kept referring to one on one duels and how we kept losing them. Asked why didn't he change it at half time. He ignored the question. Asked why he took Bowen off? "I could have taken anyone of them off". Another fudged answer, tried to justify it with "we had more going down the left with Grosciki on. ****er
Sadly it won't improve at City until the Allams F off Imo **** managers and **** teams never stopped some loyal fans going in the past but the Allams have drove quite a few away Even though I go to Scarborough games now I keep logged on to City's latest score and always hope they win..
Well, a scoreline that was a bit unexpected even though I thought Reading would get their first points of the season. It really sounds a horror show, a performance that highlights everything wrong with the club now. It really does break your heart to see this proud club being dragged into the gutter from the Allam's.
You can tell how ****e our midfield is when your looking at free agents and thinking I would take Karl Henry at present over what we have !
The midfield(the heartbeat of the team) you look at the two who played yesterday and think how poor they are and then you think with Batty injured who do you bring in because who ever it is needs to be able to create yet also defend but who do we have who can do this. He has to work with what he has got which isn't good but he has to find away to protect our fragile defence by changing players/systems and some how find a better balance. We are so weak in this department and simply haven't got the quality.
From what I did see of the match, my attention wandered, I didn't think Reading looked 3 goals better than us. They don't look good either and have a decent chance of going down. Bruce isn't popular there.
I thought we started the second half much better, they couldn't even get the ball. But the second goal likely knocked the stuffing out of us, as happens with teams low on confidence. Obviously conceding in the first 3 minutes wouldn't have helped either. You need to defend crosses and the players we brought in haven't been up to it this season, they just might not be good enough.
That is just bloody shocking. The defending was awful. Last to most balls in the middle of the park. Henriksen just crap in these highlights. Can’t even do the basics right. Only highlight was Bowen, how Adkins takes him off is beyond the pale. On this display can’t see how we avoid relegation unless there is a major change.
Our next 3 games are against the current 1st 2nd and 4th. In typical Hull City fashion we will beat them all.
Henriksen continuing his poor form from last season. You can’t carry passengers in key positions. Him and Stewart are definitely passengers.
