Match Day Thread Hull City v Sheff United

Bear in mind one of those defeats was when we were decimated by illness.

 

4 points from next two would be ****ing dreamland stuff

 

Someone has described Wilder on BBC comments as 'the acid reflux of football management' and I genuinely cannot think of a funnier or better description of him. Hat tip to the funny ****er who typed that out!

 

Good win...No major gripes....Other than Amir giving them a gilt edged chance, which thankfully he couldn't take....I wish we'd cut out the silly passes and the brain farts. But that's football.

 

Random moan but has the art of the clearance disappeared these days? Lost count of the number of times we whacked it straight to one of theirs or wildly hacked at it, going straight up or backwards or **** knows where. Not just today either.

 

Our current top scorer has already equalled last season’s top scorer, by the way. The current head coach has already beaten the home win record of one of last season’s head coaches and is one off equalling the other’s.

I think we will be mid-table come the end of the season. We’re not consistent enough and there will be games that frustrate the **** out of us but I went to every home game last season and it felt like a chore. I’m actually excited to watch City this season. The head coach seems a solid bloke who has a good relationship with the players and he’s honest about his own mistakes. The squad seem more positive and likeable even though quite a few of them were here last season. My opinion of Giles has changed completely. The coach and players seem able to respond positively to adversity on and off the pitch. Preston on Tuesday night was an example of that after the shocking first half.

 

If you dont want to watch Strictly.... Citys game is on again 403...

 

I agree, which is a huge credit to the players and the coaching staff after the mess of the summer.

 

The flip side is that we've gone from having one of the best defences in the league to now having one of the worst. It's more enjoyable to watch but we were a mid-table side under Selles, and we're a mid-table side under SJ.

 

Was going to like it until you mentioned Rovers….

 

I agree, totally upset it and I would never have brought McBurnie off

 

I don't disagree, but last season was a bloody chore. I didn't mind Selles as much as most but it was hard to feel anything about our performances.

I'm enjoying watching us this season - and as Kalman said its a team with more appealing players in it, even some that were here last year are more enjoyable to watch this year than last (Coyle, Slater and Giles for example).

 

And F1

 

Agree with everything, but esp Palmer, did not miss him at all.
