Huge 3 points, still didnt like the subs but the 3 points is the main thing

Back to 6th, going to be lots of ups n downs this season for sure

I don't get the subs thing tho mate? We are used to TM hoying on 4 attackers at once. To me it's good to see a more measured approach.
 
Very good performance. Some signs of a change in style. The high 4 man press stifled Hull Look organized if still a bit predictable. Lot of work to do offensively but hopefully that develops as the players grow into the style of play Though Ekwah did well today.

One or two tweaks I thought today. Defensivel had a better look to the distancea between players, and the gap to midfield looked good. We seemed more compact. I thought Ekwah was a bit better, which was a big factor. Lad is a confidence player. Just small things from a coaches perspective, but they make a difference. Also, for me, his subs were good. I know people dont like not having an outlet in the last 6 or 7 minutes, but I think we just banked up and said to them we wont be done for numbers. Old school tactic and if everyone does their job it should work more often than not.

As usual Dan Neil was on his own level today. He is a rolls royce of a footballer and we need to make sure we get someone in during Jan to give him more freedom to play. Could be the difference between play offs or just missing out as I dont think any team in this league can keep him out of a game and his passing and vision and speed of thought are magnificent.

Neil is just quality isnt he, 22 yrs old and he just keeps getting better n better

Walks into every team in the league, hes that good

'Idiots'...meaning people with a different opinion to you?

I wasn't a fan of that chant either, by the way, counter productive, but I did like Tony Mowbray and it doesn't take much to understand the sentiment.

You don't get to pick and choose, mate. We get 40k attendances because we are well supported, everyone is welcome and football means a lot in the area. Some fans will be thick as mince and chant bollocks... but they pay the same as you. They can sing what they want, within reason. Personally, I agree with you, those chanting that will probably be taking water in now...but the whole "I told you so" thing is an equally bad look, in my opinion. That's all.

Utter bollocks. If you try to take the piss and embarrass someone who we have just appointed you deserve all the abuse you get when it goes the other way. You also don't get the celebrate the clubs failures and still get to enjoy it when it goes well.

Been out all afternoon and had a few drinks so I'm unsure and was wondering if Michael Beale is good now or not?

Apparently not mate. Only win because of Clarke I think <laugh><laugh>

In reality it looked like the defenders were a bit tighter together and we left less space to play through us. He made a couple of subs to do specific jobs. His impact is still going to be minimal after a week, but small signs for me.

We might be used to it but doesnt mean its right. I want us to be proactive with our subs, ours subs have been poor this season. We need an outlet upfront, im happy with Jobe as CF tbf as think he does a job for us

It didnt impact us today as Clarke scored a quality goal, but it has impacted us this season

Im not blaming beale for this btw as hes only just in so getting used to the players n who he can n cant trust

No. Idiots meaning idiots. It wasn’t an opinion until Beale was managing a game. I loved Mowbray here. Didn’t want him gone, but you have to be damn stupid to sing the ex managers name when the new manager has had 3 days in charge. Why didn’t those sane people sing Mowbray’s name when we were beating West Brom & Leeds? Why was their “opinion” different at that point? Because they’re idiots and wanted the new manager sacked after 3 days in charge. That’s not an opinion, it’s a downright imbecilic thing to do.

He would walk into 2/3rds of prem midfields right now and look the part mate. I think he goes in the summer and it will be to Liverpool or Spurs, or someone of that standing. The style of sides in the prem wanting to play is tailor made for him.

One result doesn’t make a season but that’s a monkey off the back. Better performance than last game with a clean sheet, Bring on Rotherham, let’s see if we can improve again.

So important for a new manager to get 3 points on the board, really pleased for him

We were well organised today and that should be the 1st thing a new coach should work on imo. Become hard to beat 1st then add more attacking patterns of play in

I'm not knee jerking. Have you honestly seen any difference in play? Are you happy no striker is involved. Go back to NUFC if you think I'm knee jerking. He has no new ideas
