Match Day Thread Hull City v Ipswich Town

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.

 

i think joseph and gelhardt both need a rest, they both look worn out and it makes sense
they've started every game pretty much

ive said it a few times, but hughes action man play style, when it works, its HUUUUGGGHES, but if you watch, quite a fair few times, he charges in and completely misses the ball
sometimes leading us to be massively exposed
and thats without his heading problems
still young though and a fantastic passer, but he wont go to the next level if he doesnt improve his big flaws

we have ajayi for two more games before he goes to the afcon

and im not judging belloumis performances, im just saying he looks slower and less agile than he did, but hopefully thats just rust and fitness

 

I thought we shaded it until the defensive cock up that cost us. You could tell we were trying to go for it because not long after they opened the scoring, us losing the ball high up lead to a 4 against 2 breakaway and somehow we kept them out. Another bit of sloppy defending later and it goes 0-2 anyways.

As with many games this season, if we don't make such stupid mistakes at the back then we're probably in the top 2. I don't think it's got anything to do with tactics, the vast majority are just bad errors on our part.

Unfortunately it's not as simple as outscored the opposition now as we're threadbare up top and the fit players are probably knackered at this point.

 

Yepp.....Good points....Still, the Herberts will come on here, probably on Thursday or Friday, reckoning we're going to wallop Stoke...You never know it might happen, one day!!! I, for one, hope it does, big time.
