    Have to agree. Did he give the Hull player that egg on his forehead?

    Duffy also played really well after a poor first 10-15 mins

    Mind you He got elbowed in the face and a broken cheekbone a few Al weeks ago and the opposition player wasn’t even given a card. Maybe evening things out?

    I remember that play. I didn't know he had a broken cheek bone.

    What about Stacey? Fantastic energy and concentration throughout; often there to make crucial blocks and tackles in the penalty area when our left side has been cut apart. More deserving of MOM than either Rowe or Gunn IMO.

    Yes he certainly has a case too, it’s nice to have a few genuine candidates.

    I like Stacey he does have great energy however I do think he gets sucked to the ball quite often and leaves an overlapping winger or wing back, but perhaps he has been coached to deal with the player on the ball and it’s our wingers role to track the runner

    Duffy is also a candidate as he was immense throughout. Also amazing that McCallum and Fassnacht were both rated at 7.1 having come on as subs.

    I agree, although I thought Duffy played really well.

    You say that, Bure, but have you counted the actions by outfield players which also "kept us in the game"? Stacey's brilliantly timed, last man covering tackle near the penalty spot, in the second half, was as good as any save Gunny made. There were other examples -- several absolutely crucial blocks by both Stacey and particularly Duffy.

    <ok> Yes indeed, really well. Just imagine the outpourings of effusive praise if that had been Hanley rather than Duffy ;)

    Next game against WBA at home and then Leeds away will be a good measure of our play-off chances.

    If you've got a spare 25 mins, have a watch of this. He's a regular vlogger and Hull City supporter. His content and opinions are fair and balanced. He has a healthy respect for Norwich City. But just as important, he seems a very grounded, down to earth lad who clearly has good family values. His father is very unwell and he pays respect to him as do many NCFC fans in the comments section on YouTube.
    There's a lovely moment at the end from Johnny Rowe - something that reminds us there's more to life than football.

    Yes, also our kit man getting him Stacey's shirt to add to his Dementia charity collection. The lad really appreciated Stacey's performance on the night :emoticon-0137-clapp
