Beware of Narwych kicking the ball back when it has clearly gone out of play. I trust we'll have linos and a referee who are not visually impaired.
Last 3 games combined… Hull City 10 - 3 Opponents (Score) Hull City 46 - 53 Opponents (Shots) Hull City 18 - 14 Opponents (On Target) Hull City 9 - 4 Opponents (Big chances) Hull City 5 - 2 Opponents (BC missed) Hull City 5.88 - 5.19 Opponents (XG) Looking at the stats (I know, I know) we have significantly outperformed in terms of results based on the numbers. However, we have created more than double the number of big chances than our opponents, so perhaps we are just offering up more pot shots from further out against the higher quality chances we’re creating. This is probably backed up by shots on target. I’d still rather get these numbers down as if we do offer this up against the better teams I think they will take more of them. If we can restrict teams yet keep up our attacking flair then a challenge in the top 6 isn’t out of the question.
We give away a few chances, das ist der Walter way. We are good at reacting to those chances and getting in blocks. We have a keeper on top form. We are much better at creating and finishing our own chances.
Hull City head coach Tim Walter says he will make a late decision on whether to include Charlie Hughes and Joao Pedro in the travelling party for the trip to Norwich City this weekend. The pair missed Tuesday night's 3-1 at QPR as Walter's in-form side made it three consecutive victories in the Championship and they'll go for four in the early kick-off at Carrow Road on Saturday lunchtime. Hughes has come through training without any issues following Appendix surgery last month while Pedro, who became the club's 17th new arrival last week, has not yet featured for City since his free transfer move was ratified. Midfielder Gustavo Puerta is also pushing for a recall to the matchday squad after scoring for the Under-21s against Coventry City on Tuesday, as Conor Sellars' men made it five wins on the spin. Elsewhere, the Tigers boss has been given a clean bill of health for the trip to Norfolk, with all those involved at Loftus Road on Tuesday night coming through without any issues, meaning only Dogukan Sinik, Ryan Longman, Andy Smith and young goalkeepers Thimothee Lo-Tutala and Harvey Cartwright are sidelined through injury.
Ive just sent that to ken houghton who happens to be a good friend of mine!!! . he's over the moon with it!!...thanks for posting it
Can you apologise to Mr Houghton for me please for grabbing handfuls of Panini 1979 stickers from his shop while my mate ordered a quarter of cola cubes and his back was turned. Been on my mind. Thanks
Ah that’s brilliant I’m glad he liked it. It’s his birthday on the 18th!! 85 wishing him all the best on the day. I played football with his lad Glyn who was a great lad too and a credit to his Dad.

Now there’s an idea. Following up on Gibson’s and the refs casual application of the laws of the game … put this team out for the home game vs Stoke.
Played against them a few times, Glynn was a good lad and I think Ken played centre half for a while at St Peters. Also used to regularly talk to Ken at warners gym.
