tbf to the bloke there aint a lot else he can do with what he has got available to him, just have a gander at the bench !
Playing at home and quite often we have 11 men within 30 yards of our goal. Get Martin up top, get the two wingers 30 yards further forward. Stop worrying about them and give them something to worry about as clearly our two wingers are talented but they are told to defend first. I miss the Slutsky days of attacking at all times, defending was optional. We are going to be down the bottom end of the table no matter what we do, we might as well do it playing some attacking exciting football rather than this dour rubbish.
thats all well and good if you have two strong central midfielders you can trust to hold the fort a little, we haven`t .. simple
So not too bad at half time...Stewart got most of the basics right and actually won possession couple of times.. Burke looks a little frustrated and may need to reel it in a bit...only downside at the minute is Martin..looks lazy and uninterested. More interested in blaming the players around him for his own shortcomings. I fear Burke giving away a needless penalty if he doesn't calm down too...but a clean sheet would be brilliant tonight.
better than Saturday but please stop giving the ball away in midfield allowing them to laugh attack after attack, is Martin playing or just couldnt get a ticket so decided to walk around watching the match.
We haven't used the bench so I am looking at the team on the pitch and it's 10 men behind the ball. Typical Adkins at least set the team up to have a go we are not playing Chelsea in the FA Cup.
we have a nonentity of a central midfield and a defence that leaks like a sieve ... but please set up your way, at least you`ll see goals, but dont expect any coming our way, we`ll never get the ball !
Keane is one of the worst strikers Ive ever seen in a Hull City shirt but is twice the player Martin is just now.
It's not about individuals its about the intentions. It's not about individuals it's about mentality. We have gone out there to defend. I'd rather risk one point in the hope of getting three. We are I'm the bottom three playing poor defensive football, why not just go for it? Nigel has been dealt a terrible hand I completely agree, not disagreeing with that. Disagreeing with his clear and obvious way of playing, whatever 11 players he has.
sorry but we are in the bottom 3 because of the shyte we have been left with, the lack of quality all round, he has no engine room and a defence that is decidedly shaky, we are a poor team i`m afraid. and tbh while i aint a fan of Adkins, and his positivity crap, but i look at the personnel he has and can understand why he is setting up like he is tbh. All we would achieve by going gung hu would be to increase our goals against tally.
He has terrible personnel in many areas. I bet you Rotherham and Bolton would take Dicko, Campbell, Bowen, Martin and Grosicki. We have some real attacking talent look at how two of them did last season, give them license. That's in your opinion, it might lead us to losing more but winning more. All a game of opinions. We are in the bottom three for a multitude of reasons. The main ones are the Allams, but Adkins has to take some responsibility,the players some.
