really ****e that. still think booing is embarrassing given the season. wheels haven’t come off but haven’t recovered from the suckerpunch on Monday.
probably for the best autos are off, can slow down cement playoffs and go again. together, being the key.

Correct. Get it to Roberts, who will dance about and create nothing. Rigg was probably 2/10 today and had been rubbish for weeks. Le Bris seems slow to react as Rigg looked out on his feet against Derby. All eyes on Le Bris to see how he can freshen it up. Mundle was very bright so at least that's a positive.
Total ****e that. Clearly changes needed in attack, we offered so little it was painful to watch. Typical that just as Regis looks to be thinking about resting Rigg Le Fee gets injured.
Good to see Mundle back he played well and was a threat. About all to say that's positive about that.

Absolutely ****ing ****. Exactly why it was said that RLB should have freshened it up before the game.
Same players every week with some ( Rigg, Roberts, Patterson) being passengers or making errors weekly.

Worst result and performance of the season that. These games are why we won't be in the top 2 come May, not defeats against Leeds.
Not one players gets pass marks for me. Thought Hume was alright and Neil was fine but that's about it. Mundle was decent but when you are being relied upon to be the whole attack Hull are going to stop that.
I don't see why Roberts started and played the full game. I know it seems like I have an agenda but you CANNOT carry a non goal scoring winger if you are a promotion chasing club. 1 open play goal in the last 2 seasons. Nowhere near good enough. Time for him to be on the bench.
Rigg is currently not impacting the games. Supreme talent but he's not creating anything and his goals have dried up. Time to either go with Mayenda and play 442 or trust Aleksic, he's looked bright every time he's played.
Time we start looking over our shoulder now instead of chasing the top 2. We've got a big gap but current performances have me slightly concerned.

Just a further point, RLBs use of subs just not good enough again. Only used 3 subs and none of them after the 60th minute.
RLB’s stubbornness is costing us. Done a brilliant job so far but he needs to change something. Teams are starting to figure us out and clearly sitting deep, just like teams started to do when Mowbray was in charge, is something we’re struggling against.
It was a really flat performance. We didn't have intensity for much of the game and very little in terms of ideas in the final third. Mundle the bright spark when he came on.
We're very fortunate that we can afford a result like that with the gap to 7th being so wide, but we need to regroup and get some of these errors out of our game.
Hopefully the Le Fée injury isn't serious but I don't think we need to see him on the left again. Mundle gave us a different dimension. Rigg and Roberts seem to be underperforming most weeks at the minute, I think we need a bit of rotation there.
Patto dropped a clanger today. I'm not in the mind that he needs to be dropped like some, he's still easily our number 1 and does plenty right, but he cost us points today.

Exactly this. I remember against Derby Rigg looked shot, he couldn't keep the ball and yet we have played him every game since. Similarly Roberts has not created anything for months. Mundle was the only positive today.
On the ‘bright’ side, if there were any scouts there watching our players I think we will not be losing as many as people seem to think.
Who could they go back to their clubs and recommend from that showing.
Looks like we’ll be keeping them for next season.

Don’t boo but muttered under my breath. Hard to take that one but the performance wasn’t there and we go again !

We havnt been great at home for ages. How we remained unbeaten for so long? This was coming but it should have happened weeks ago.
Seems to be a running theme too. A key player, in form, or quality out of nowhere, a chance for the player to really push us on? Like getting a bonus player? Gets injured!
So frustrating.

Isn't the rule that it's 5 subs allowed but only within 3 "windows"? So when we decided to sub Rigg, that was our last opportunity to make changes?
