I’d say Magennis has got away very lightly with a 4.

Think Buckingham has been overly generous there, given the situation & the need for a big performance - the team performance was shocking. Utterly awful, doesn’t bode well.

Wonder if Long should be rested a couple of games, he's looking a bit shell-shocked to me. And Irvine really needs dropping, he's got worse each time he's turned out this year and he was never that good to start with. I'd rather see Honeyman as captain, he's far better at waving his arms about. I'm not even sure I'm joking now either...

Facebook Dare To Dream - Irene Fenton - I have supported The Tigers since I was 17 now nearly 70. I have a dog called Tiger and my husband's coffin had hull city coloured ribbons. Last night for the 1st time I was ashamed to admit I supported them. Thinking of changing the dog's name.

Stupid cow, I've never been ashamed to support them because they got beat, or the performance they put in.

Baffles me what was going through his head as he ran up , there was no power , no bend , no trickery , just floated over the bar like he was returning next doors ball - love to know how he envisaged that going in as he struck it .

Do you reckon that's the first time hes ever taken a free-kick , including in training ?

That performance lacked everything a professional football team should display no matter what the quality of the starting 11 fielded - effort, determination, passion etc. The lack of skill/quality of last nights team has admittedly been the result of injuries endured and financial restraints made by the owners. However, I would have expected a performance similar to the one put in by Luton against Brentford the previous night. Their team also full of ‘League One players’ put our club to shame. I have been a critic of Honeyman but his performance at Preston showed the desire needed and didn’t even start last night! Similarly, Batty, who plays with his ‘heart on his sleeve’ and put in a MOM display against Rotherham (along with Eaves) was substituted in that game and hasn’t been in the frame since! The team’s body language from the first whistle last night did not inspire me with confidence for the ensuing 90 minutes which proved correct. Last night, with all the hype of ‘a season defining match’ should have produced a committed team performance and the absence of such can only be the result of a manager who has been dogged by the sale of his two best players and a unique set of injuries but cannot inspire the players at his disposal to ‘lift’ themselves for the club’s Championship league status and the long suffering supporters’ loyalty.

I admire your commitment LBIA, pity the same can't be said of the City players.

So, having had time to have a sleep and reflect, still feel the same, piss poor, abysmal performance, sitting back from the start against a team at the bottom, at home, is unacceptable. Barnsley were knocking the ball around confidently, looking like world beaters giving us a lesson, stats embarrassing. I get the **** injuries situation McCann has had to deal with, but these performances are down to him. The players are clearly not responding to what he is asking them to do, not listening or need different coaching? No motivation, no leadership, no idea on or off the pitch.

Whilst Long is not solely responsible for this loss, we definitely lost as a team, we had two clearances off the line, even he is now looking punch drunk, loss of confidence, and sadly seems to have a mistake in him every game. Time to take him out of the firing line?

Finally, have to say Kev Stewart's interview, an honest assessment, brave enough to question the tactical set up. Time for McCann to go now, any new manager would still have the same tools to deal with, but I'm sure could get a new tune out of them. It's difficult to not fear the worst for Saturday.

Not listened to Stewart's interview but to me (if he can get back to where he was prior to injury) he is one of our (very few) positives. Agree with your thoughts.

I don't know if others have mentioned this on previous pages, but Maddison shoudn't be anywhere near the first XI again. His performance last night was Ben Arfa-esque. Other players will look at him tossing it off and lose heart. GTF back to Peterborough.

I think If McCann isnt sacked today the Allams clearly dont care if we go down. They gave both Phelan & Slutsky less time to prove themselves, if any other manager went this amount of time without a win they'd be gone.

Is this their final dig at us fans? Stepping back and watching the car crash unfold. Have they accepted no one will come forward and pay the asking price which means the only way of getting their money back is to strip the club, player by player, season by season until they get as much as possible before leaving us in a worse state than they found us.

Time will tell but its not looking good.

I don't think they will sack him.

The thing with Irvine, he does keep going and keeps trying to create, even if he does often **** it up. At least he doesn't hide - I think that's why McCann thinks he is worth persisting with.

You really think that's only half the story? You really think we would have been in this position without selling our two best players and the injuries. I don't think we would have been near the top 6 but I'm sure we wouldn't be in the mess we are in. Supported the club over 50 years and can never remember an injury run like this. Of course, the management/training might be responsible for some of them but he has been incredibly unlucky on that front.

That is only part of the story. He is too rigid in his approach.

There's got to be a limit to that though, I heard the Barnsley fans voted him their Man Of The Match.
