Yeah. World class stop. From a solid as f*ck finish. Feel for Big Tom. Tonight was his best performance since maybe L**d's away in his first season here. But his lack of consistency has been the defining issue unfortunately.
Came away not to down, enjoyed it and if KLP had scored instead of hitting the post we would have won it, however no complaints they give it a right go, Honeyman was everywhere and led by example, others followed and had a right good go. Probably Eaves is best game considering who he was up against, he held the ball up well and caused problems, KLP when he goes on one of his runs is a joy to watch. Overall they all did well, it was a great atmosphere at times and it made my night when the East stand sang STAND UP IF YOUR HULL CITY followed by the south and then to my shock the west. Pity we lost but well done to all.
He put a hell of a shift in tonight though,non stop the lad.That keepers arm will be black n blue tomorrow...Great strike,great save.
Only just back home.....still feel gutted we couldn't nick an equaliser and force pennos, great performance from the lads, certainly didn't look like there was a leagues difference between the teams, and a nice continuation of the good performances we've been putting in for the past 2 months. There's a lot to like about this City team at the moment, the biggest win from tonight was seeing Eaves and Smith playing so well together up top, Eaves was an absolute beast all match, winning so much but doing it effectively and a big part of that was having Smith running off him all the time, god defenders must hate playing against him, he;s one of those annoying little ****ers who just doesn't stop. They need a run of games together, this season they've barely played together, I think that was the first time Smith has started 2 games in a row? First half especially he was a constant out ball, chasing and harrying into the channels and we won various free kicks and throw ins from it. Pleasure to watch tonight, only down side was some of the officiating....I know all teams do it.....but **** me, that last 15 mins the ball must only have been in play for about 90 seconds.....ref making a point of pointing to his watch every time they piss around only for that prick on the sidelines to turn round and say 2 mins added on. Bellends.
Was that all!?!? felt like more, tho I suppose with west upper closed that takes a fair chunk out....it made a difference. We even had singing and noise in the West stand today....unheard of!
Watched an 11 mins highlights package over breakfast and the commentator called him Lewis- Porter. Looked like a decent crowd and a good competitive game.
Yeah but 52k to see Trippier and a 'gimmie'and get beat by Cambridge is piss funny.And I can see both St James' s and the SOL from the top of my Gateshead hill There was more to love than not in City's performance today. Gonna be interesting playing the Geordies and possible Mackems next season hahah!
