Match Day Thread Hull City v Norwich

[Ric Glasgow]

A disappointing performance throughout, unfortunately.

They put very little pressure on us, and scored two goals that should have been better defended.

Jacob did very little wrong but played very conservatively and didn't really impose himself on the game.

Sharp looked blunt.

Carvalho looked rusty.

Tufan flattered to deceive.

Lokilo lacked any ambition.

Twine, Morton and Coyle looked the most likely.


This team, playing this way, will finish top middle, which is about the right level.



Referee was, once again, awful mind. But it wasn't really that that cost us.

Decent post for me Ernie.

Anyone else experience poor audio balance on Tiger+ throughout the whole broadcast? Crowd noise almost completely blocked out dim commentary for me.

Should never have been a free kick to them but if Alsopp had done the same we would have been praising him for coming out and nullifying a goal scoring opportunity.

Not a chance Alsopp does anything that proactive, he’d just stand in his 6 yard box and wait for the ball to fly past him!

Gunn has always been a. good keeper.

 

[Evington]

No point dominating possession if you can’t get the ball in the bloody net!!!

Sharp isn't a forward? What is he?

Ok I’ll qualify this he is an ageing guard who can finish gas hit a good brain but we need speed and mobility and he lacks both , it’s not a criticism it’s a fact . I’m glad he’s here but we need the other skills .

Don’t know what the xGs were but we lost out on BINs.

It didn't sound like there was a lot of crowd noise.

 

[HCAFC (Airlie Tiger)]

We talk about not taking chances but it’s our defense that’s the main issue at the moment. Far too often we concede soft goals, we’ve conceded 11 in 5 games, even the game we won we still conceded two.

Jones and Greaves get caught out too easily, Alsopp couldn’t catch a cold and we’re down to the bare bones in the full back department.

We’ll score goals when our key players come back in, I just don’t see us stopping conceding them though.

 

[Evington]

Notwithstanding Gunn's heroics we just weren't good enough on the night. Too slow, not up to the physical stuff, not enough nous. We look good in the first 2 thirds but it all comes apart at the pointy end, especially when the opposition have parked the bus. I could count on one hand the crosses we put in that didn't land right on the head of a defender but we kept on doing it. Norwich deserved their win.

I agree we are not physical enough, particularly up front. We have lost Delap who was the only one who could just about hold his own against championship centre backs. If we decide we won't replace him then we really do have to move the ball quicker.

 

[springtiger]

My pal who was a centre bavk feels that our two like to on the ball but don’t like to defend , we need one solid physical back , Norwich had one - we got out tackled in the middle . We played a lot of great football and needed it to run for us - but how much longer are going to give soft goals away it goes on and on !

To be fair for the first goal he came rushing out of the six yard box and watched the ball fly past him.

 

[Evington]

Though it was fannying about in the right back position that cost us the second goal.

It was (Jones) and then we didn't cover the back post (Vaughan). Double whammy again

 

[Evington]

Should never have been a free kick to them but if Alsopp had done the same we would have been praising him for coming out and nullifying a goal scoring opportunity.

And we would be wondering how we are going to manage with ten men for the rest of the game

Sharp looked blunt.

Ouch

 

[Top_Tiger]

You can’t blame the goalkeeper for the 1st goal. What about Tufan and Morton both weak in the tackle. There was 6 players round him. Make a challenge ffs, he ran about 25 yards.

 

[Professor Tiger]

I thought Norwich looked a poor side (especially their back four) albeit their first goal was impressive and any team harbouring ambitions to be in the top six should have put them to the sword. Philogene and Delap would have had them on toast but this young team don’t seem to have the killer instinct and it seems that these injuries will determine our season.

 

[Ehab's Member]

Love Liam's optimistic take on the game but bottom line is we're conceding almost two goals a game and unless he addresses that PDQ we aint making the playoffs.

 

[Cityzen]

Depends who was reffing. Don’t often criticise referees but. he was abysmal.

 

[GLP]

How poor was that referee tonight? Dreadful.
