Team for today 01 Basso 02 Rosenior 03 Dawson 05 Chester 06 Hobbs 04 McKenna 07 Stewart 08 Evans 10 Koren 09 Mclean 12 Fryatt Substitutes 19 Dudgeon, 34 Cooper, 14 Cairney, 17 Brady, 29 Garcia Good to see Cooper getting into the squad. Concerned about not having a keeper on the bench though, especially with Bassos Tendanities.
Devastating to be losing this with Middlesbrough 2-0 down Southampton 0-0 & down to 10 men and West Ham still 0-0. Massive chance wasted.
comment on Sky "Hull creating lots of chances, Derby have parked the bus..." sounds like a carbon copy of the last two games. best of the play, lots more chances, no goals scored.
I'm more bothered about what's happening below us. The autos we're always relying on a team or two to have a total collapse to nick ahead of them, the gap below has always been smaller and had far more teams lining up to take us out of the playoffs.
No doubt there will be lots of moaners on here after this game, and I appreciate I'm in no position to really judge being an armchair supporter thousands of miles away, but it seems to me supporters maybe need to take some responsibility for poor home results sometimes. Listening on Blunderside, there is some noise from crowd a little now, but thus far I've only heard 'Come on you 'ull' twice and no other singing or chanting. I've read many times about the lack of atmosphere at the KC. Whilst the stadium may not help - the crowd seems to have been rather pathetic. The players cannot be blamed for lack of atmosphere and it seems the crowd do little lift the players when they need it. I guess I'll get shot at for this post!
People blaming the stadium is an easy kop-out nonsense. The simple fact is that your average football fan in England has now changed - they expect to see a win every game and demand the team inspire him / her to chant rather than the other way round. And it is not all seater stadia, there are plenty of all seated stadiums on the continent that I would literally sh1t my pants upon entering. There is now not one stadium in England that is intimidating for opposition teams or fans and that is sadly the nature of the beast nowadays.
Stats look terrible - 16 attempts (13 on target) to their 4, 11 corners to 0 - and it didn't appear that Derby exactly 'parked the bus' - from what I heard they actually tried to make a game of it - at least til latter part of second half. ps - anyone giving thanks to Leeds for their late win that keeps us in top 6!

They're only 1 point behind so I'd have thanked them more for the draw (putting Burnley 2 points behind us and Leeds 3 behind). Jammy bastards as well, 1-0 down with 3 minutes left and they're get an own goal and a stoppage time winner.
At this point id go out and spend big on billy sharp and get harper in on loan. That's if I was playing football manager anyway.
people need to forget billy sharp. Doubt he'd want to come anyways. Too much competition... it's negredo all over again
