Looks a positive line up to me. Hurst appears to see something in Graham that we don't but appears to be Walters as a focal point with Edwards, Graham in support. Skuse, downes and Nolan trying to pull strings in the middle. Then we have pace in Jackson and Edun on the bench to unleash on tired legs. Gerken in goal raises questions, Bart not done enough in training to win back spot or Gerken doing enough vs Norwich to keep space?
Crap goal to give away, Gerken should've done better initially, Downes couldn't dig it out. Come on Ipswich!
Well that's just the start we needed! Must say, I cant see the need to chop & change the eleven so much every game now. New players in, new faces to recognise and get used to, new formation...new tactics...then hardly awake, a poor home team gest just the right encouragement to bring back their confidence and smash ours! Brilliant!
Great start. Yet to keep a clean sheet this season. I did us to win 2-1 in a bet,,,,,,, so I guess 33.3% there. COYB.
Maybe we could do with getting battered today so Hurst realises he needs to rethink his formation. It looks to me as though the players have given up on it.
Are we surprised? So many different players in different positions in the first 6 weeks. I would be pretty cheesed off by now...oh, oopps, I am out on loan having been brought in! if we lose this, and it looks that way, then I shall review my thoughts on Hurst.
Unless Town come out and win the second half then I can't see any way for Hurst to drag us out of this now. I think he will be gone in a few weeks.
I am beginning to think the same Yorkie. I was really hoping to have my Saturday afternoons back for excitement, enjoyment, surprises...even a win!
Not impressed with Spence, plenty of hoofing forward and not a lot else. Donacien looked better and I feel sorry for him. Knudsen and Chambers also guilty of punting the ball forward too often. Gerken still won't come for a ball in the six yard box and although Downes couldn't keep the ball from crossing line my first thought on that passage of play was that Gerken should have done better. I agree that we are changing the team too often. We looked better with the likes of Edun and Donacien playing. I'm baffled that we look worse now than we did 6 weeks ago.
I am sorry but even I am questioning Hurst's tactics, choice and player policy. This does not look good...and my iFollow has stopped so all I am getting is reports from you guys and BBC Text! Keep it coming pse.
Need to ship the whole bench on as 1st team! Anyone got a decent live stream?...not your Bingo/betting type, as I have lost iFollow radio and cant access them as my previous email not being accepted! Bloody hell. I might have to go watch live!
Hurst did need to fix things, but he has fixed the wrong things. He has changed some of the components that were stable and failed to address the cause of the problem in the first place, which was the lone striker. To make matters worse, we also now have loanees warming the bench. Pennington and Walters are incremental positive improvements. Town desperately need to find a way to win today because it's not going to get any easier than this opposition.
Poor first half. Pennington and Edwards are the best players from the first period. Graham has tried to make something happen but Walters doesn't have the pace to scare the defenders when playing alone making it too easy for the Hull defence. Downes hasn't added much and Skuse is just Skuse which basically means we play with a man less when we start to attack. So far I'm not happy with what I've seen, Donacien must be pissed off being the man left out as Spence is a garbage FB and Edun deserves more minutes because he's looked lively when playing. Sorry to say but on this showing I would be dropping Chambers, Knudsen and Spence.
I am listening again now thanks Hampy. I can also stump up a tenner to watch. TBH, not much to watch is there!
