Match Day Thread Hull City v Ipswich Town

Probably HKR.

 

In your dreams, yeah.

It's impossible to argue with someone who constantly deflects and never answers a simple question.

So good for you.

 

Why would HKR stop them going tonight?

 

Cos in this horrible modern world there often isn't the annual disposable income to do both.

And every city has glory boys who will go where the momentum is.

 

You really are clueless, aren’t you?

 

Ok Einstein. Why weren't hull folk taking up the opportunity to pack that stadium to the rafters with top-end championship football at one of the most attractive prices in the land?

If they weren't skint and it's getting close to Xmas?

 

HKR aren’t playing at the moment. Neither are FC.

 

No, but you buy a city pass or an egg chasing pass for the year, don't you? If you can't afford both you choose and budget accordingly.

If city are in it come seasons end then folk will find the cash.

But there are plenty of reasons in the city in the run up to Xmas that folk might not want to spend £30 to freeze their bollocks off at the footie for 2 hours Black Friday week.

 

Other clubs fans don’t have have those problems.

 

Plenty of us do see it. At no point has he ever been a big money or premier league player. I’m sure one day it will come but right now he is so rash he cannot really be trusted in defence. A spell out of the team could do him some good because he is constantly making errors, some punishes some unpunished but I do think he is a big reason that we leak so many goals.

 

They do to a point, they're just generally more affluent or larger cities. Or with no competing cultural challenge from RL as an alternative, traditionally working class sport.

And you still don't answer the f*cking question.

Why is it that you instinctively deflect every everything that you are ever asked?

You're just whataboutery personified.

Why use multiple usernames?

You wanna be part of a discussion but you want to control it without giving anything of yourself to a community.

A wannabe dictator. How wrong am I ?

Quid pro quo.

Just answer a simple question, or just continue to face the contempt and ridicule you currently do.

 

'One mistake cost us' - reaction
Hull head coach Sergej Jakirovic told BBC Radio Humberside:

"I can split this game in two parts - until 70 minutes we were almost perfect because we controlled everything, even though Ipswich, in this league, maybe have the best possession.

"First half they didn't have any shots towards our goal, so this was good. But on 70 minutes it was a crucial moment for me because we made one mistake which they immediately punished, but this was the quality of Ipswich.

"We tried to take more risks but unfortunately we immediately conceded a second goal - I don't know if it was offside.

"The first was a very poor goal because we had a full defence, the cross was not so sharp that you cannot defend it. If not, maybe it would have stayed zero-zero or we would have scored a late goal."

Jakirovic on Ipswich home defeat

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna told BBC Radio Suffolk:

"It was a tough game and I thought we showed the things you need to show in the Championship on tough midweek nights when you're not playing on a perfect pitch.

"Our intensity was good, our defending was really good, the only chances we gave away were from a couple of turnovers - our press was good and made it hard for a good footballing team to get any sort of moves going.

"We didn't have as much control of the ball as we'd have liked in the first half but you have to have that base of hard work, intensity, organisation and resilience that we showed, and if you do that, then you know the goals can come.

"We scored a really good first goal and you could see the difference that made to the game, confidence comes into the group, the opposition open up some more spaces and stop working so hard to stop us, and we looked a big threat in the last 25 minutes."

McKenna: 'A good night's work to build on'

 

It makes you look back at the QPR game, we went ahead 2-1 and sat back. Ipswich got their first goal and went for the 2nd, which is what we should have done at QPR.

For 65-70 minutes I thought we kept them at arms length, but Burnsey on Tiger+ was right, he said 10 minutes before they score Nunez was getting into some dangerous positions and so it proved.

Defensively on the whole we looked much better organised, just Hughes misjudging the cross did for us

We need to try and get something from both the Stoke & Boro games to stop the run of defeats, The team that has done so well for us over the last few games needs freshening up, so Belloumi/Oli/Lundstrom and Millar will be welcome returns.

 

I thought Ajayi was excellent, one of, if not the best, performances in the side. Reads the play very well and breaks up attacks very effectively. Gelhardt looked leggy and off it to me, but needs to get through this next game. McBurnie and Millar supposedly back for Boro would be a big boost.

 

No but they have just renewed their season tickets, and off the back of an expensive season going to multiple finals, plus they’ve just bought tickets to the Club Challenge and many are going to Vegas early next year.

It’s been the best and most expensive 12 months to be a Rovers fan, it wouldn’t surprise me if a few have dropped off going to the football this year.

According to you, no FC fan supports City anyway so why would they be going?

 

Well Ipswich were small and lightweight and still hustled us too much . we have so many players trying to come away with the ball from a challenge - before actually winning the ball ! They were fairly mobile like QPR but nothing special - and McKenna kept Jaden and Akpom back as an away match tactic . We do things like this sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t . Joe is leggy now as he’s been doing it on his own for weeks .

 

Think we might have to go back to a 3 at the back, just in the fact we can’t defend crosses with 4 at the back. In fact we can’t defend anything.
