Match Day Thread Hull City v Southampton

Says the Londoner

Doesn't even know his own site. No option to ignore when I follow his instructions. There is for other mere plebs though

 

Too much respect BORING BORING BORING

 

I can think of 4 or 5 moments a shot could have come off where we passed it around or took a touch too many. It's an odd habit for delap to take a touch too many given he has quite a powerful strike on him

 

I'm only like this on here because I'm not generally in real life. So if something is bothering me I tend to vent to strangers online rather then people I know as I don't want them thinking I'm a miserable ****.

I'll try to reign it in a bit.

And I'd move back to Hull in a heartbeat but sort of got stuck over here after uni with work, partner etc. Maybe when I retire in 30 or 40 years she might be persuaded

 

Many comments about our attacking failings ( poor decision making, not shooting, little creativity, not clinical, etc).. I also see time and time again aimless hopeful crosses, often to no one in particular, and no pattern, no apparent plan. All same as last season.
Compare and contrast to say Ipswich, a team who individually are no better than us but collectively were on a different level? Why?
It's not the players. It's the way they've been coached and drilled so they know what to do in those positions, so they know where team mates will be. They have a pattern, a plan. Several times their winger hits the by line then, instead of aimless crosses they and the team are drilled for the pull back to the oncoming team mate.
It's not the odd defensive mistake that's losing us points, although that of course doesn't help. It's not the players. It's the coaching.
The evidence week after week, month after month is compelling. But it's easy to blame the odd slip , bad luck or the players. Gets tiring.

 

Lets look at the bigger picture. Someone closer to the club will know this better than me. LR is the Head Coach/Manager but under him there are other coaches, Andy Dawson being one and a goalkeeping coach. Who are they and what is their experience?? Strikes me, that LR could do with someone who's on his side that has experience and nous, I don't know that those working under him have credibility and experience either...

 

You're entitled to your opinion like everyone else here. If you get called for it, roll with it.

 

Same number of clean sheets as Wednesday. Let’s not act like we’ve made progress, Allsop, Ingram and Darlow have papered over the cracks. We are not a good side, we are absolutely bang average. Squad had very clear issues that have not been addressed. Manager persists with playing players out of position off the bench. This system has us missing players like Slater who are just bang average for this division

 

I love this club with a passion and want the absolute best for it, as we all do. I don't personally see that happening under the current manager I'm afraid and can't pretend that I do. I hope I'm proven completely wrong of course

 

Well he must be in the conversation considering they’ve had the worst ever start in championship history i think after 12 games

 

Sorry but if you’ve been playing professionally for as long as they have you should have the football intelligence to do the right thing , you’d have been told that for years . Maybe the coach has to remind you but if you’ve not made the top it’s because you’ve not taken it in sooner - hence championship level

 

They were warned when they were giving it all that when they "signed" him (or rather when we happily drove him there and quickly shut the car door and drove off once he was out)

 

except against each other

 

Better or worse than Simon Walton?
