Match Day Thread Bristol Rovers v Hull City

a long time ago I was a ball boy when we played Bristol rovers at home! 1978 time. Think they were doing well at the time. Had a player called Paul Randall who was a decent larker. I threw him the ball for a throw in, he threw it back and we kept throwing it to each other. Then roger devries said gimme the ****ing ball it’s our throw!!!

Grant McCann has called for his Hull City side to sharpen up in the final third.

Despite taking the lead through Mallik Wilks’ low drive, the Tigers fell to a first home defeat of the season after losing 2-1 to Peterborough.

Defeat was harsh on City, who registered 13 shots to Posh’s five, with the visitors scoring from both of their efforts on target.


McCann’s men had their chances, with Wilks hitting the post with a deflected shot, Greg Docherty curling an effort just wide and Tom Eaves glancing a header narrowly past the upright.

And the boss wants to see more consistency in the attacking areas – and for his side to score more goals.

“We’re still early into the season but that’s one area where I think we need to be better,” said McCann.

“Although we’ve scored some goals, I think we can still be better with the players we’ve got at the top end of the pitch.

“What I think we could also get better at is our delivery into the box when we get up there.

“It’s a little bit mixy-matchy at the minute – there’s one good, one bad, one good, one bad.

“We need to be more consistent when we get into the final third. Whether it’s midfielders, full-backs, wide players, whoever it is, in those areas we need to be a bit more consistent.

“Then we’ll score some goals”


Poll will close before kick off

City to get back on track 2-1 win

 

4-0 City or win on pens


Would be nice to see some tactical nous from Grant for ****ing once. Please?

Also, these games are coming thick and fast. I'm a little worried about the fitness of the squad, I would not be surprised if our best XI burns out before Christmas.

Back in the day, opposition fans would visit this page after the match and be amazed at how accurate the illustrious Hull City fan predictions were. Now the poll takes a more scattergun approach, as if the results are based on nothing but simple guesses or 'gut feelings'. We look stupid, and that's entirely your fault.

I hereby request that we are allowed once again to vote after the game has concluded. It's good for you, it's good for me and most importantly, it's good for our collective reputation.

I know there'll be a result against Rovers, I just wish, like many others, to reserve the right to declare it later on.

When it's easier to get it right.



Or at least a 'Win on Pens' option.

 

It's this type of League One knowledge that you just can't buy.


He knows this League inside out, ya knaa.






We'll get nowt out of this.

If we're still in a playoff place come full time, it'll be a bonus.




Don't be checking the league table and coming back at me with points available an' logic an' all that, 'cos I'm not interested.

 

If there is a result, and I agree and also think there will be, then it is the strongest start to a season since last season when there was also a result in the first 9 games as well. (if my memory serves me right)

But we cannot read too much into this just yet as we know how it all ended up.

 

Being the ****test team in the City must be a Rovers thing.

City 3 nowt.










Sorry Rovers fans (the real Rovers & not these West Country inbreds). No offence intended,

 

Fleming for Elder
Jones for Smallwood
Eaves for Magennis

I have a soft spot for Bristol Rovers I went to Uni in Bristol and watched them a lot.

2-0 City

 

What????

 

Mistake calm the **** down

 

I'd go with that except I'd start Smallwood and sub him for Jones if he looks knackered again. Eaves needs a start to either show us he's worth it or to confirm he's as crap as a lot think he is. I feel he must have more to show than we've seen so far.

Cold, wet Bristol night, 0-0 for me.

 

You are right about Smallwood/Jones

 

Bristol Rovers 2-2 Hull City

 

A recycled plastic

 

I think we will see changes, elder is a tough one, going forward he has been fantastic, but defending has been very hit and miss! I really can't make my mind up as to whether I'd change him or not. I think we could see eves start

Still going for a city win

 

This elder blaming is ridiculous, not aimed at you. Again it’s the system. Don’t posters remember all the complaints about kamil not offering any support to the left back!!??
Reece burke is five to ten yards away from Emmanuel and that’s what helps him
Honeyman offers more support to the rb too
Elder has little to no support from de wijs and. Now greaves, he’s miles away from him. With klp miles away too.
Fleetwood exploited it and so did posh!
Other teams will be taking notice too
Terry didn’t change anything
As we know
