If you get chance to watch the Rutter chance again he actually very nearly finishes it with aplomb. Sends the keeper the wrong way and but for the trailing foot of the goalkeeper would slotted it into the bottom corner very nicely. Only thing he could have done better was lifting the ball slightly and then it would have been a very classy bit of finishing.
all fair points.. just re keeper MOMs though. There was one game where the keeper (west brom?) made some really good saves. Last night the keeper made 1 very good save from Jimmy (though it came at a good height), 1 regulation save from a shot from distance from Jimmy and a block on the 1v1 where he spread himself and Rutter hit him with with the ball. On 1v1s keepers come out, spread themselves. It hits them or it doesn't. As long as they've done the basics the rest is luck.That's a keepers lot. If keepers are making saves it often simply means your strikers aren't hitting their spots.
Not necessarily, 49ers showed with Gnonto, they won't be dictated to. Rodon, Spence and Anthony are only loans anyway, so not saying they'll be here regardless.
We were invited here btw. I guess it was to liven up your board a bit, so job done, I guess. Thanks for the memories.
Into my 52nd year of supporting this great club. I've been travelling over since 1979, by boat, train, coach and air, all my sons travel over now as well. Admittedly I can't afford every home game, but it takes a lot more effort to travel over. Easy when you live in the city. I probably should have supported Hull because my mother was born there. Anyway I shouldn't have taken the bait, but there you go.
Only correcting the arrogance of Leeds ‘fans’ who don’t go to games and talk ****e about other club’s supporters who actually do.
Can't remember what the first booking was for - kicking the ball away? Whatever - it was a yellow because the ref gave him a yellow. The 2nd was a deliberate foul and therefore a 2nd booking (just as our yellows were deliberate fouls). The bloke knew he was - rightly or wrongly - on a yellow and can have no complaints about being sent off. Not sure if you'll be top two - top six for certain, We might get top 6 - but more likely top 10 IMHO.
Well I clearly jinxed the BTTS! I was right about not letting Leeds break quickly, though - the one time they did they should have scored through that 1v1. The one thing we got right 1st half was showing Leeds wide players inside and not letting them get down the flanks. They kept running into midfield traffic. I will never know how Traore missed at the end - shades of Ronnie Rosenthal - A draw a fair result though from what I felt was a pretty low key game and both teams have more to offer. Onwards to Stoke
