Match Day Thread Accrington v Hull City

Interesting .. gone for the physical presence of Magennis

 

Seem to remember their centre backs are big lads, might be why.

 

Going back to the 1960s I remember teams playing that much if they were involved in Europe. There were Cup replays, two legged League Cups as well. I remember Leeds playing on Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday at that time and having to play a game they needed to win the league on the Monday after a Cup Final. And this was on pitches like ploughed fields. And they had smaller squads. At the same age as KLP George Best played 56 games in a season when they won the league. When I worked in Leeds a Leeds fan I knew was sent to their Hull office for a week. He went to a City midweek game. First thing he said when I saw him was how he wished Leeds could play on a pitch like that every week.

 

If anything, I'd say that would be a reason to play the smaller lads and keep the ball on the deck more. The passing and movement have been so much better when we don't have a target man to hoof it to.

 

Interesting change.

Hopefully Wilks tries to pass the ball to him tonight.

Though Whyte off the bench could make a good impact.

Surprised he's kept Coyle in - thought he'd give Emmanuel a start just for fitness. Shame we can't have both of them on at once, at least in our current tactical situation.

 

Would have had Magennis as sub again , would have brought him on when our faster front 3 have tired there big lads at the back out.

 

The white lines on the pitch are garbage, I've seen more whitewash on a cricket ball!

 

Everyone got their ifollow plugged in and working!

 

What a wimp. How embarrassing, he’s one of our own, from Hull. ......And wearing gloves??!

Come on City, get a grip.

 

It is a bit nippy bless him lol

 

The terrier George looks up for it

 

Working fine through TV browser. Fingers crossed.

 

At least there aren't peculiar markings all over it which confuse anyone watching from outside the M62 corridor.

 

Pitch looks a bit agricultural.

 

Well.....a thoroughly dodgy looking opening 10, barely strung 2 passes together, just hoofing it.....Accrington have stepped up MASSIVELY from last week

 

Pitch looks a bit slippy.. either that or Wilks is wearing plimsoles

 

No problem with that. They will have a point to prove so will be up for it.
Once we've adjusted to the conditions and let them blow themselves out a bit, we can start playing more.
0-2

 

Weather looks grim

 

This is like watching curling, it's so slippery.

 

Looks better than this one.
