Match Day Thread Hull City v Charlton

Bit of a reality check today... we should be very happy to finish mid table.. I listened to Sergeis interview and he said its not training thats creating all these injuries. Unfortunately it's not a one season thing ... to throw someone on like Millar today after doing more minutes than he should on Tuesday was IMO pure bad management. It was nithering in the wind and no lessons have been learnt from what happened to Belloumi. I know you want to win the game but get Ndala on!!!! I think concentration went down when he went off...Seems also that Crooks has torn a pectoral muscle which requires surgery.

 

I thought exactly the opposite. We should have won, but a point is ok. You’re not a bad side, but fairly limited.

 

Do we know why Akintola and Famewo weren’t in the squad at all?

 

****

 

In the context of the week a point is a good result.

In the context of the game at 90 minutes a point is frustrating.

Gelhardt was outstanding. Drameh looked short of confidence.

Ref should have played another minute at the end.

 

Akintola was suffering from back pain, and Famewo had pain in his thigh injury, both should be back in a week's time.

 

We can’t ride our luck in second halves all season we need to be able to play well for more periods than just first half .

 

We've conceded a few times from that stupid ball outside the D routine from the north stand. Wish they'd pack it in.

Thought we played much better second half compared to first and kept them at arms length until the goal. Frustrating but we move on.

 

Will be a long season. Injuries are part of it unfortunately. Will seem a lot different when McB is back no matter who is out

 

I’ve not seen a replay back yet because I threw my laptop across the room when the equaliser went in but it looked like the whole defence parted to allow an easy free header at goal from 6 yards?

 

We were the better team in 35 minutes of the first half and for the full 45 minutes of the second.

 

Injuries are killing us atm.

Soon we’ll have McBurnie, Crooks, Lundstrum, Miller and Beloumi all out.

 

Crazy how all our injuries seem to be with our most influential players. We've gone form having a great bench with loads of options to a make-do-and-mend situation and, not wanting to dig out the lad, but I'm still not really sure what Gyabi brings to the team.

 

McBurnie would have buried a few chances today and we’d probably have won 3/4-0.

 

Hughes is beaten on the near-post and the goalscorer runs behind Gelhardt to chest the ball in.

 

Hughes is the one who gets a head on the cross. Distracted by the man he’s marking he doesn’t get much more than a flick on it.

 

Ajayi at the far post in the first half, looked he should have scored.

 

How many ex Luton players do Charlton have? Should be Luton Athletic.

 

Deluded mate

 

Didn’t really deserve a win, didn’t do enough. We need to stop backing off when we score, Charlton where for the taking really. Injuries are really effecting the job though, the likes of Destan and Gaybi aren’t up to it.
