Match Day Thread Stoke v Hull City

You know most of the league play today right?

 

Oh **** off.

You were all fawning over Abdush 6 months ago.

But quite obviously there's an issue with tangible contributions with Omur, Despite sometimes looking like the dogs bollocks.

 

You mean you didn't go to the game?

But ..

 

The only thing I agreed with in the pre match pressers before that game was that football is a confidence game.

Now let's give the lads some support at home, and let's hope we start Slater, Millar, and Palmer against Cardiff.

 

I absolutely thought we were going to lose. But delighted we won

 

Yes I did pick up that sense from reading the flappy stuff on here.

What I saw from, you know, the actual stadium was that the way TW wants to play is becoming stronger and more defined. We pushed them back for most of the first half, but still conceded horror chances on the break (think we just need to get used to that). And we failed to defend a corner (don’t want to get used to that, something to work on).

At half time I reckoned the playing style is really starting to flow through the squad, but I wasn’t certain it was a style that could win games.

Then in the second half we went more aggressive in attack, benefited from Millar’s directness, used Belloumi a bit more and got the rewards against a pretty average side with some decent threats in their midfield. And proved the style can win games.

But yeah, sack the manager in the dressing room.

 

I’d have him over Mehlem. Omur turns on the ball and knits things together. Mehlem shows flashes of quality but has gone missing a lot recently.

 

I’m in Italy at the moment, so watched it on my phone and only caught up with this thread after the game, which made for pretty amusing reading.

 

Morning - great waking up after a city win isnt it?

 

Why should we have to get used to conceding horror chances?

The style? We scored off a pen and an own goal, with slaters goal the only well worked one of the three.
