Great win & that makes up for cricket earlier! Played well by made it look harder than should’ve been, badly needed win, no really leak links && Dembele played ok for a change
Well, the first half was pretty depressing and apart from a few minutes in the second, a complete contrast. Roll on Wednesday and a game we should be hoping for at least a point if not 3.
Was a weird one to be honest. It should have been 3-0 really. Both goals really shouldn't have happened if the basics were in place. And truth be told there wasn't an awful lot of exciting football. But good character from the team to bring it back. I actually feel Hull were poor today and were there for the taking in a much bigger way if we'd gotten a few more things right with tactics, subs and on field decision making.
The best we’ve played over 90 mins for me though I wasn’t at the Stoke game. Two really poor goals to concede for very different reasons but nice to see the intensity second half as soon as they’d scored rather than pissing time away and they couldn’t live with us for a good 20 minutes when we should have finished them off. Glad Kolli took his chance even if he didn’t take his chance. Probably deserves a start midweek.
I must admit I thought Hull would run away with it having given up the first goal (as usual) and with them in control of the midfield. But we came back stronger after both goals which is an excellent sign of progress. Dembele a flawed MOTM but caused them all kinds of trouble. Got to bury more of those chances though.
If Kolli had scored his late chance I reckon the result would have been more representative of the game. Overall, enjoyed it though. Lovely finish from Dunne, who was almost playing as a 10 for that brief period of play.
Odd game. We definitely deserved the win but, for me, were never really convincing. Also if everyone was available except for Walsh, as was said on Thursday, I assume that is what Stephan thinks is his best starting XI.
